OK, I just have to point something out, and I know I am going to get shit for it . . . but I was on the island of Curacao for a week with my dad this past week, and I will tell you that the black people really behave like white people. They were generous, giving, and kind. I went to an all black beach - BY MYSELF - and nobody looked at me sideways, there was not a hint of danger in my world. However, I do have to say that being an island as small as it is - it may be that they know that tourism is their best asset. I just wanted to say that there are places in this world where it is possible to just BE a human being. It might not be in the USA, it might not be in in many other nations, but it could be on a little island.
Go ahead, hate on me for my experience.

the problem is that racism on both sides is neither entirely right or incorrect... both sides are biased and tha's why conflicts are here to stay... resolving this will demand to follow the money as usual to see through the fog. On a philosophical level, it is the failure to understand the tenets of freedom.... and why coercion (which racism is) will just keep the spin spinning. It truly is a 50-50% culpability.
I dont fully agree with Ayn Rand but she said many things that are enlightening. Colonization, she said in her "virtue of selfishness', to be successful must imply to "share" the economic profits of the latter with the indigenous people. This has never been done. The colonialists were seen as intrepid adventurers helping their country prosper. The whites did NOT care HOW the profits were achieved. While their country was booming, african masses were left with peanuts, their own elites after their independence became corrupt to the core when allowing the whites to replace pillage of their resources with the World bank debt shenanigans.
Curaco is a former dutch colony and their 1st official language is dutch. Being from EU/Belgium, I know the netherlands where they call curaco the netherlands antilles. Now I have to say that curaco nationals (slavery brought them there) can immigrate to the netherlands easily and are quite european minded. In europe curaco natives do not have a good reputation as those immigrating are too often drawn to activities deemed illegal by the system (drugs and human/women trafficking mainly)
Here in the USA, I have worked with curaco people on projects (paralegal customer service for law firms into international settlements) as I do speak dutch too. And I can tell you that they do not like the white people so much. They are resentful that they had to leave curaco because of a lack of jobs there, so like many latinos, they are here to work and send money to their families. Tourism doesnt feed everybody.
what I want to say here is that stigma of colonization/slavery is very real but that doesnt make the blacks right as the slave trade was mainly in the hands of wealthy arabs and blacks. Something they will hardly admit. They also wont stand up against their own black lying leaders instilling victimization in them.
The bloodline-belgian king, Leopold II, back in the early 1900's has authorized the genocide of 10 million africans at the time because belgium needed to compete with other EU countries that had colonies. Rubber was belgium' s gold rush but instead of negotiating with the tribes, the King greenlighted a mass murder, claiming that they were all savages anyway (plenty of vids on youtube). So why bother... that doesnt give belgians the right to behave worse than savages. Westerners couldnt care less and more importantly this was NOT reported in the news at the time. Until today, this awful legacy is not taught in belgian schools. The king is still seen as a super hero! I learned about this 3 years ago and I asked my (step) mother who used to be a nurse in africa before the independence of congo if she knew about this... she nods "yes" but quickly added, "many of them were cannibals"... while cannibalism did exist in very few african areas at the time, this is how were sold the blacks to the whites ... cannibalism was generalized and so the whites had a reason to exterminate them or use them as slaves. Nothing can justify a genocide . Even the rwandan genocide is a consequence of colonization due to the fact that the whites gave the "tutsis" more power than to the "hutus" - because tutis dont have negroid features. So the tutsis after the independence took over completely. It is useful to note that before colonization tutsis and hutus were living in great harmony. Racism was imported. Whites were certainly odious but the tutsis went along with the world bank and other contractors. It is the assassination of a rwandan presidential candidate against the western PTB (he died in a plane crash LOL) that was the catalyst of the genocide.
Really all I want to say here is that if all races and cultures alike continue to manipulate history to make their cause look genuine, racism will just never go away.
History is being manipulated in front of our very eyes every day, just turn on your TV ... then look at the world/society...
edit: some may say that we have a zionist problem, which is true, but why is the "money making bully mentality" blinding so many? Continuing this "victimization spin" on all sides will never make anybody right. The zionists and other elites just exploit our love and hate affair with money... they are mirroring OUR collective dilemma with money. We gave them birth and they became our nightmare.
