Alas...I guess it up to me, Asian American guy,  to put in the proper corrections. Unbeknown to you, Miss Thrope, racism has part of every day life since the dawn of time and practice by every single culture, color and whatever. Your own forefathers practiced racism as did mine's. You are in no boat to judge. And like it or not, our nation was founded on Euro-Christian culture and sure, most white people were racists back then. But then so were everyone else. You forget the blacks sold blacks into slavery. Atlantic slave trade would have been impossible without black slave traders racking in the money. Explorers who named names get the credit. Everybody knows that. First black slaves were not slaves but indentured and most were freed later on. Some of them ended up owning black slaves themselves!  Still exploiting old myths?? History is politically incorrect, Miss Thorpe. Since bloodlines of racist lies within our blood, who are we to judge white folks today??
