But to deny the fact and the extremes to which the White Western Society went to end slavery is to deny the very same things. Britain sailed the seas to end slavery, the United States fought a civil war. Furthermore to claim in today's society that only those of the white race can be racist is to deny racism altogether. Racism is prejudice against an individual based upon the individual's race, period. Any other requirements make the claim null and void.
I do not deny that racism can go both ways.

And I do not deny what a few whites went through to end slavery. I think it's highly naive, however, to think that whites ended racism and slavery. The civil war wasn't fought over slavery. It was over a number of things, including the preservation of the union and state's rights. The union winning the war obviously boosted the end of slavery quicker, but union soldiers weren't fighting over ending slavery. Racism in this country ended, and a relative public conscience and respect for other races only emerged after a civil rights campaign led by African-American leaders.

Katzinisky is an ultra-liberal, socialist, university student. So yes, everything that's wrong in America is the fault of middle-class, heterosexual white men.

Didn't you already know that? Come on!
You have showed us that your stupidity and immaturity goes to no limits here today.

First of all, I'm socialist, so all the problems are the fault of the middle class? How retarded are you?

And second of all, illustrating your complete and utter lack of any form of maturity or ability to debate the issues, you deface me and insult me in your avatar. If this isn't the last straw that finally pushes you into being banned along with your butt buddy Alias, I think I've lost all faith in the administration of this forum.

Not to mention you're only embarrassing yourself by putting a Nazi symbol on someone who is socialist. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense!
