For a very large percentage of it, black people enslaved black people, whites just bought them. Slavery is still alive in Africa (although has been illegal for a good number of years now) and was very active for a very long time before any white person ever set foot on the continent. That's a fact that is very conveniently ignored in the tension between the colors. Europeans didn't enslave Africans anymore than Africans enslaved Africans, but Europeans face the blame.
It's the same thing that we see now with Islam. It's evil for a white person to spill Muslim blood, however Muslims kill one another all the time because they're from different sects. Go figure.
See here's the general trend.....when people are similar there is a certain amount of crap that is considered tolerable, acceptable, or just flat out fine. However if somebody different steps in they are held to a much higher standard than the people in your "comfort zone" are held.
Examples are why blacks call each other "N" all the time but it's not ok for whites. I'm sure each and every person on here can think of at least 1 thing that it's ok for a friend or relative to say to them that would offend you if someone you didn't know and is obviously different or not part of your group said.
The problem that many people are just too stupid to understand is that crying out demanding something can do more harm to your cause than good. Personally I hate the NAACP and find them to be one of the most racist groups in the world with such company as the KKK. The biggest difference is their lack of a history of using force, but they use every scare tactic available in modern courtroom and media warfare. In my opinion they are only hurting the very cause they are trying to help. They are strangely reminiscent of PETA.....maybe a good idea, but overdone in such a bad way that every time they open their mouths its a bunch of ridiculous jibberish that makes me want to laugh....and cry.
