"Maybe my post look like arrogancy, but from Your side look someting like ignorancy when U say: "...who were taken from Africa by your white ancestors...". It is ingorancy- my nation do not paticipate in the slave trade, and when U say " your ancestors..." U say simply untrue. What what I want to say is- dont mix up my people with slave masters cause it is simply unjust."
* The racist system which perpeturated the African slave trade is the one in which you and I live. Due to its historical foundaations - people with white skin who live in such a system benefit regardless of ethnicity in every arena. Your ancestors may of not directly participated, but the reward system of having white skin is a privilege which you and I benefit directly from every day of our lives.
