Ah yes ... let's never forget the struggles of the white conservatives.... I remember it like it was yesterday.... The water fountains that had signs reading "black liberals only".... Watching the news and seeing white conservatives sprayed with fire hoses and having police dogs turned loose on them for protesting the fact that weren't allowed to eat in a restaurant.... seeing them taunted and spit on and having to have the national guard escort them to their college classes... I remember when the now famous Nellie Knuckledragger refused to sit in the back of the bus even though that's where white conservatives were told that's where they had to sit.... and last but not least let's not forget that it took a civil war to free the white conservatives from hundreds of years of indentured servitude. Just when I think you guys can't push the bar any lower, you manage to figure out a way to do it.
WARNING! A WGW on board! ...that's White Guilt Warrior.
Um, you atop your liberal perch of superior knowledge don't need to come on here and explain the struggles of black people. And we are all aware of what Dr. King did and the legacy he left. It is common knowledge.
Did you think the respectful comments posted here by self identified conservatives was because we thought Dr. King was a famous basketball player?
While there isn't the need teach us about the struggles of black people., there's a good chance that there's a lot you need to learn.
You didn't know that prior to the couple hundred years of slavery here that slavery in Africa had been practiced for thousands of years...by blacks who sold their slaves to the white man.
And that slavery was an accepted practice throughout the world, practiced by nearly all cultures.
And save your "two wrongs don't make a right" horeshit.. That's another way of saying white people should know better, which means blacks must be sub humans, which makes you the true racist.
You also don't know that there were many black slave owners here in the U.S.
"The largest black slaveholder in the South, John Carruthers Stanly of North Carolina, faced a number of problems in the 1820s in dealing with a slave labor force on his three turpentine plantations in Craven County. With a total of 163 slaves, Stanly was a harsh, profit-minded taskmaster, and his field hands would run away. Stanley dealt with this through his two white overseers and with a spy network that included a few trusted slaves. Brister, his slave barber in New Bern, was responsible for relaying to his owner rumors of planned escapes ...Nor did Stanly have any pangs of conscience about selling children away from their parents or holding free blacks in bondage."

You probably didn't know that the Republican party was founded for the sole purpose of abolishing slavery either.
