I didn't say slavery got worse. I said racism got worse.

But you will gravitate towards anything you think will make my argument look bad.

Because your ego is in control of your life

Dude, you said quite clearly that racism got worse after slavery ended. Suggestion: Say that to the next African American you meet.

What am I supposed to make of that other than you are completely and hopelessly lost to racism.

Race-based chattel slavery wasn't as extreme as Jim Crow? You mean the kind of society where a black person could never be free and their children by birthright were owned by the mother's master. The condition of black people got worse after slavery?

Dude, you just exhibited the proof you were asking for.

LOL You provided the very evidence you thought nobody could produce. Unfortunately you don't see racism in yourself and so can never correct it. You don't see it even when your own words are held up in front of you.

William Wells Brown, who escaped to freedom, reported that on one plantation, slave men were required to pick 80 pounds per day of cotton, while women were required to pick 70 pounds; if any slave failed in his or her quota, they were subject to whip lashes for each pound they were short. The whipping post stood next to the cotton scales.[84] A New York man who attended a slave auction in the mid-19th century reported that at least three-quarters of the male slaves he saw at sale had scars on their backs from whipping.

Tell me more about how racism was worse after race based chattel slavery was ended.

I feel much more is expected of me because of my skin color than other people. I'm white so that means there are no obstacles other than my own work ethic in my way to success. Same thing with being male.

Imo, economic class is a better indicator of discrimination, race is just a coincidence

Nope, no sense of entitled white man here. Look at how much harder he has to work than his darker skinned co-workers. I'm sure they would agree that @Padawanbater2 is the hardest working and least appreciated man on the team.

Dude, you drip with the social disease.

Oh yeah, Clinton handed opportunities to Bernie. Bernie isn't stupid. I can only conclude that he chose not to go after black or brown voters. Which is why he lost the primary.

I wonder why that was? Do you think he intentionally avoided talking about issues of race? He doesn't strike me as being racist. You?

I honestly felt like his policies in general would be a huge positive for minorities.

BREAKING NEWS: white man claims to know what's best for "minorities"
Click to expand...
Health care would be bad for minorities? Raising the minimum wage to $15 would be bad for minorities? Ending the Clinton era "get tough on crime" policies would be bad for minorities? Tuition free university would be bad for minorities?

Explain which of those policy positions would be a negative for minorities...

here's an idea: instead of telling "minorities" what is good for them or not, maybe try listening to them instead.
