Okay, can we stop using whites as the universal scapegoats for anything that goes wrong? This is absurd. For example, whites used to own slaves. Okay, I get it. That's bad. But just about EVERY OTHER CIVILIZATION HAD SLAVES! Now I don't see people going around saying stuff like, "OMG the Spaniards had slaves that's super racist!" Why? Because that's "Holding their past against them." But somehow even though I've never had a slave I'm guilty for what other whites did many many years ago. How does that make sense? That itself is racist because whites are the only ones who get the blame for this stuff. There were even black slave owners in the U.S. but will people tell you that? No! Because once again that's holding blacks accountable for the sins of their ancestors and it'd be racist to hold that against them. Also it was the north that was so apposed to slavery and set them free! Whites also helped out with things like the Underground Railroad but once again we don't get credit for anything positive we did, only the wrong things that we did.
What makes this entire thing so stupid is the fact that the only thing that makes us different from each other is a little bit of skin pigmentation. That's it. And somehow because I'm born with lighter skin than other people I'm all of the sudden guilty for all of this stuff that a bunch of people did years ago. There's no such thing as 'white pride' because then everyone else would complain about all of the bad stuff we did and take us on a guilt trip. Let's be honest here, the real racism is here, but it gets no media recognition because that wouldn't fuel enough hate for them. So can we stop being babies over this whole stupid ordeal and stop recognizing each other by skin color instead of character?
For those who didn't read all of this basically people need to get over their pasts and tiny differences and man up for the greater good.

I saw this tumblr post about how when slavery was abolished the owners were paid compensation for each slave they had to give up, and this person was complaining how 'black people' never got compensation for being slaves - kinda implying that black people nowadays should be given money for their ancestors being slaves. Like wtf? This generation of white people didn't pay that compensation and this generation of black people aren't slaves or recently freed slaves, so the notion that either party should feel guilty / entitled with regards to slavery is completely retarded.
