But we're taught that we're all the same, why can't blacks support a white driver? Just as Lewis get's a lot of support from Whites? But apparently all whites are racist.
Whites support and watch NBA and NFL and Athletics, we don't "need" our skin colour to be represented.
You contributed to your country you didn't solely "build" it, white people didn't sit on their arses while the blacks did everything. First slaves in the US were Irish white, blacks owned slaves. Whites didn't invent slavery, whites were enslaved and whites were the first to legally end slavery, yet whites get blamed for slavery (which didn't start with the Atlantic slave trade).
And lastly whites in the western world are the only race were it is legal to discriminate against them.....discrimination based on the colour of your skin is the dictionary definition of racism.
You don't fight racism with racism, it's like trying to put out a fire by pouring petrol on it...not gonna work.
Black people don't practice racism, and we never have. It wasn't black people who demanded the segregation of the races, it was whites. It wasn't white people who were forced to work at the threat of death, and without getting one single form of payment, except to live another day. It wasn't black people who beat to death, lynched, burned, shot, dragged behind cars, trampled with horses, or (the kindest of these atrocities) raped white people for centuries, it was white people who committed these acts. It wasn't black people who committed these massacres
1. Meridian race riot of 1871 - whites killed as many as 30 blacks over a series of days.
2. Colfax Massacre, 1873 - nearly 50 blacks were killed, and or held as prisoners.
3. Clinton Riot, 1875 - Armed whites arrived by train and widely attacked black people. When finished an estimated 50 blacks were killed over a period of days.
4. Tulsa race Massacre, 1921 - 300 black people dead, after which they attempted to cover it all up until recently.
Now, as for your assertion that whites didn't sit on their asses, no your right, they rode on horses and carried guns and whips. Black people built the roads, the railroads, the harbors, the government buildings, and yes the White House itself. Black people also built the southern mansions, which made it easy to build the White House since it also was built on the same basis of a southern mansion. White Europeans also worked, but they were paid for their work.
One of he biggest myths, (oh shoot let's be honest, lies) has been the myth of the Irish slave. It's a lie, and you can go to any reputable source to read about this myth. It has in fact, for a very long time been called "The Irish slaves myth".
I recently saw a brand new special from The History Channel entitled - 5 Myths About Slavery. in this special they talk about that exact topic which was labeled a myth, and a lie. It has been universally condemned, and rejected, and is currently labeled a false equivalence. It is widely considered as pseudohistory by historians, and scholars. It's basically used as an attempt to minimize and diminish the effects of African people as chattel.
