so you are saying those groups were exploited because they were exploitable, not because of their race? then you are agreeing with me.So were the Irish .
your U.S history needs improvements. i would go on and explain how the middle class is being exploited by the rich but it would probably be a wasted effort.Educated university graduates becoming railroad workers, pickers and gold miners.

What makes you think ! White people are not prejudices towards Asians and Hispanic peoples
the term i used was "racist" not prejudice. there is a difference. everyone is guilty of prejudices. would you want your kids to live next to registered sex offender?
if you are claiming that blacks as not as easily exploited as Asian immigrants so they don't get hired as often, then why don't American born Asians have this problem? they tend to make just as much as whites (maybe a little bit less, but is it as big of problem as it is for blacks?). take that grant study for example, what kind of exploitation was involved?
are you trying not to be on the same wave length here .
? I feel some hostility in the strange brew your drinking . The black man was easily exploited by the whites. It was called Slavery .
Correction: Black man exploited black man , sold him to the white man, White man at the end liberated the black man.
Now I belong to the ethnic group Slavs, I don't have a dam thing to do with black slavery , you English, Spaniards French , Portugues, can carry this called shame , but don't generalize all white people.

Note : I just night understand history better than your first impression tells you as me family comes from the Great House of stone . A very colorful family indeed . Colorful Characters you would not believe if I was to present Wiki Pages on them . Me Great uncle Lucien has only got a mention thus far but I expect more in the future seeing how he single handily freed the black man from slavery . It was battle at the Troup Hurt house just out side of Atlanta in Pharaohs Army. Yeah that is what it is called today. He was the leader and they call it that Cause his name means Pharaoh . I think that is funny . How bout you ? What you think about that ?

i'm not disagreeing with you but i think we should all move on with this slavery thing. slavery was present in every culture. even whites enslaved themselves and as you said, blacks were also involved in the slave trade, so i think people shouldn't take it personally.
I think they should stop crying and just get it over . When I come here , I worked as a janitor , cabinet maker, electronic assembler, finally graduated as a chemist . I was discriminated due to language and I am discriminated due to language , should I cry ? There are a lot of Mexicans who started as dishwasher ,but now they own fine restaurants and other businesses.

O.K. O.K. sorry . What is Slav . Is that Like Yugoslavian. Is it peoples from a specific area . I know I am a shallow American that thinks America is the center of the universe . Mainly cause that is were I live and I look out from my eye balls and the center of my life is Me so what do expect ? . White Man in America bought slaves . With out a market ? Just saying
Tell Me about your Ethnic group ? Can you ? Are Slavs christian? Muslim ? Both ?
i totally understand what you are saying as i am an immigrant myself. i first worked as a gas station attendant, cleaning toilet for a couple of years and now i'm an engineer. and the only group i feel "oppressing" me is the rich. i don't think the average whites have the energy and time to waste on "oppressing" the minority if the minority work hard and play by the rules. maybe the older guys here have a different opinion because they grew up in a different era. i'm asian and i make a bit less than the industry's average but i guess maybe that's the result of living in a white country. i'm not going to cause a riot because of it.
there is no hostility here. it's just that you have a habit of not addressing my good points.
first of all i was referring to the present day's blacks. but anyways, if blacks are easily exploited as you claimed, then again, why do whites keep giving jobs to the Asians but won't give blacks the same opportunities? why exploit the Asians when you can exploit the blacks who are already living in the country?
maybe Asians are more naive. but again, this whole job/education opportunities have more to do with work ethics, qualifications and corporate loyalty to bottom line than they do with race, which is the point i'm making, don't you think?
as for your story, it makes sense but no offense, i don't really find it humorous. although i find the history of slavery interesting. i'm still learning about it and i find it interesting that you seem told your story with a sense of pride. wasn't the civil war fought over economic and political reasons instead of human rights? what i found on wiki:
This led to the outbreak of the Civil War, which spelled the end for chattel slavery in America. However, in August 1862, Lincoln wrote to editor Horace Greeley that despite his own moral objection to slavery, the objective of the war was to save the Union and not either to save or to destroy slavery. He went on to say that if he could save the Union without freeing a single slave, or by freeing all the slaves, or by freeing only some of the slaves, he would do it.
i mean your Uncle could be a good man but maybe freeing the slaves wasn't the only thing in his mind when he went to war as you told.
