Since the US isn't 100% white people, what you're asking can't make sense. How could any law be made in this country right now that was only done by white people? We're all in this together.
You didn’t read my question? I said racist law. No one said the us is 100% white, I’m talking about the racist laws like slavery/black codes/Native American boarding schools/Asian exclusion act/Etc
Black people always naturally protested what they wanted, but we never had to listen to you. MLK forced nothing out of us. How hard do you think it would have been to get rid of that bunch.
I never said MLK and his group deserve to have been gotten rid of. I said whites in power could have if they wanted to. Instead they chose to pass the Civil Rights Act, something that nobody forced them to do.
If I didn’t think this was a valid question why would I post it? And why would you comment if you just wanted to tell me I’m stupid? Seems counter intuitive
And they still continue to treat Asian Americans poorly till this day (with the hate crimes that spiked after the ex US president made racial insensitive comments conflating the virus and blaming it on Asians
The US did so because of Pearl harbor attack... which incidently wasn't an attack on Hawaii its self , but the illegal occupants from US military who took position at Pearl Harbor.
Also I don’t think white people have been making the laws on their own, there have people from different races in government who have been involved in the law making
doopayo... Yea... Your right , the US history won't mention still how they are illegally occupying Hawaii without any annex or accual Leagal treaty. Hawaii and Japan have for at least 186 years and counting been allies by treaty. Even thought Pearl Harbor. They also won't mention that Obama wasn't really born in the USA. He was born in Hawaii... the Hawaiian kingdom. If they never shut up about his accual birth place , The United states would have illegally let a man from a different independent neutral country be president of America. And the illegal occupation would have leaked out to all in America.
Obviously they didn't do it on their own and the influence of people like Fredrick Douglass wasn't negligent (nor is 10% of the Union Army). Get over your white savior complex.
@Ad_Quid_Orator nope. we are operating on a "but for" basis. unless you can demonstrate slavery would not have been ended "but for" the involvement of blacks. we can say it was 100% whites who ended it
And it genuinely is concerning how when I tell some yt people that flag scares me as a black person they just has light me and say I’m stupid even though the flag has historical significance and is still being used by fascist neo nazis till this day
And what it stands for. A lot of them claim it’s southern pride but if that’s the case why not just fly the state flag? There are so many white southerners that still believe in lost cause propaganda and it’s sad
Everything I post about isn’t about race, white peoples just say that whenever I post about race cause it makes them uncomfortable talking about history
Im white and i dont feel uncomfortable to talk about history. Spartans also had slaves to work for them, so did many other nations, even back in great Babilon they had slaves building walls. didn't matter black or Asian everyone got to be slave for someone at some point. I fuking love hiatory now. Slaves everywhere, we are bunch of modern slaves right now.
That’s good. So me asking a question about race and history shouldn’t be a problem. It’s annoying to get comments of people accusing me of being racist just because I make posts about racial injustice
Is not problem to talk about it. Maybe the way you frame questions white people can feel as if being attacked for something that history people did so they become defensive about it or start throwing stuff back at you. Just something to consider.
Your questions are not about history, they're meant to bash White people and stoke racial tensions. They're a reflection of your attitude. A lot of people notice it and consider you a racist. It's probably a better path for you to become a positive person who looks for ways to love others rather than obsess about racial stuff.
It just seems to be a constant theme with you. Try to live in the present and enjoy your life and all the people around you, so that you don't let your anger consume you. Live and let live you know.
I never cared about race, especially at your age. I just feel sorry for you to be honest. I don't think obsessing about the ugly side of history and all the dead people who fought and abused each other is gonna be healthy for you. Your desire to provoke White people and argue seems like a fools errand in 2021. Sometimes you gotta see the cup as half full in life and spend your time improving yourself, rather than tearing down others.
You have some issues, let's be honest. Most of your questions end up in nasty arguments about race with random people. If that's who you want to be, go for it.

People like you are why we need a revolution
When liberals' arguments fail they start calling for violence.
1. Im not a liberal and 2. you didn’t refute my argument, you’re the one that argued violence in the first place so don’t try to back track
“You think it would be hard to get rid of the bunch” you know exactly what you mean by that. Stop acting dumb
I never said MLK and his group deserve to have been gotten rid of. I said whites in power could have if they wanted to. Instead they chose to pass the Civil Rights Act, something that nobody forced them to do.
There are none which you fully knew prior to posting this stupid question. This is the US, a racist country. What do you expect?
If I didn’t think this was a valid question why would I post it? And why would you comment if you just wanted to tell me I’m stupid? Seems counter intuitive
Mostly because you post far too much stupid crap.
The placing of Japanese people in concentration camps during WW2 although this was stopped due to Japan’s surrender
I said taking place in the US
And I wouldn’t say that’s white people. Because it’s not like white people were the only people fighting in ww2 ?
The US placed US citizens of Japanese decent in concentration camps in the US during WW2
en.wikipedia.org/.../Internment_of_Japanese_Americans
Ooh ok nvm my mind was in a different place
People did protest against the internment camps though so again, this isn’t a good example
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Fe_riot
And they still continue to treat Asian Americans poorly till this day (with the hate crimes that spiked after the ex US president made racial insensitive comments conflating the virus and blaming it on Asians
The US did so because of Pearl harbor attack... which incidently wasn't an attack on Hawaii its self , but the illegal occupants from US military who took position at Pearl Harbor.
Wow I never knew that, ty for sharing. They never mention that in history class ^
The families paid I think $60,000 each in reparations. They weren’t concentration camps like Nazi Germanys in Poland so fuck you
@Pterodon dude chill tf out
Also I don’t think white people have been making the laws on their own, there have people from different races in government who have been involved in the law making
doopayo... Yea... Your right , the US history won't mention still how they are illegally occupying Hawaii without any annex or accual Leagal treaty.

ummm, a few hundred thousand of them died to free the slaves. Name one thing that poc did on their own?
10% of the Union soldiers were former slaves by the end of the war.
How about you name one racist law that still exists in the US
Affirmative action
@Pterodon boom, got em
Stopped playing Chess with black pieces. All white pieces now.
whites ended slavery all on their own. your input was not needed at any level for that to happen
@Ad_Quid_Orator are you implying the civil war would not have been won by the north without blacks?
i said was not "needed" . keyword NEEDED
No, I'm implying that they didn't end "slavery all on their own".
@Ad_Quid_Orator they did. because the black input on slavery was negligent
Obviously they didn't do it on their own and the influence of people like Fredrick Douglass wasn't negligent (nor is 10% of the Union Army). Get over your white savior complex.
@Ad_Quid_Orator nope. we are operating on a "but for" basis. unless you can demonstrate slavery would not have been ended "but for" the involvement of blacks. we can say it was 100% whites who ended it
Now you're just moving the goal post.
@Ad_Quid_Orator no im not. its the standard that was set. if they weren't necessary then whites did it on their own
That's a false dichotomy.
@Ad_Quid_Orator no its really not. if they were not needed. it was done solely by white people
I can say the same of blacks with affirmative action
Was the Confederate flag one?
You’re still allowed to use that flag. I’ve even seen white people irl use it
And it genuinely is concerning how when I tell some yt people that flag scares me as a black person they just has light me and say I’m stupid even though the flag has historical significance and is still being used by fascist neo nazis till this day
Gas light not has light *
I'm sorry. Well a flag shouldn't scare you. But ignorant people, I dont blame you if they do...
The flag scares me precisely because of the kind of people that are associated with it
And what it stands for. A lot of them claim it’s southern pride but if that’s the case why not just fly the state flag? There are so many white southerners that still believe in lost cause propaganda and it’s sad
Most of them actually. Just read history.
Why is everything you post about race
boom
Everything I post about isn’t about race, white peoples just say that whenever I post about race cause it makes them uncomfortable talking about history
Now ask a valid question ✔️
Im white and i dont feel uncomfortable to talk about history. Spartans also had slaves to work for them, so did many other nations, even back in great Babilon they had slaves building walls. didn't matter black or Asian everyone got to be slave for someone at some point. I fuking love hiatory now. Slaves everywhere, we are bunch of modern slaves right now.

You're obsessed with race.
Real original. Correction: I’m obsessed with history, just not that white washed version of it were taught in schools
Be nicer to white people in the present.
How about no. History shouldn’t offend you
You just like to dwell on negative things.
You should grab the next White person you see and give them a hug to cure your deep anger.
Asking a question about history gets you this riled up? Mate, I’m afraid I’m not the one with deep seeded anger
Your questions are not about history, they're meant to bash White people and stoke racial tensions.
They're a reflection of your attitude.
A lot of people notice it and consider you a racist.
It's probably a better path for you to become a positive person who looks for ways to love others rather than obsess about racial stuff.
How am I bashing white people again?
Criticizing the shit white people did to my ancestors is racist now? Lmao
It just seems to be a constant theme with you.
Try to live in the present and enjoy your life and all the people around you, so that you don't let your anger consume you.
Live and let live you know.
My “anger”, you mean your anger? Maybe you’re the one that needs to enjoy your life
I never cared about race, especially at your age.
I just feel sorry for you to be honest. I don't think obsessing about the ugly side of history and all the dead people who fought and abused each other is gonna be healthy for you.
Your desire to provoke White people and argue seems like a fools errand in 2021.
Sometimes you gotta see the cup as half full in life and spend your time improving yourself, rather than tearing down others.
Suggestion: Leave me alone
Well, I tried to help you.
Suit yourself.
You weren’t helping me. You were projecting
You have some issues, let's be honest.
Most of your questions end up in nasty arguments about race with random people.
If that's who you want to be, go for it.
You’re so obsessed with me it’s crazy
Don't flatter yourself, I just notice you like some people might notice a trainwreck.
Quit talking to me if you dislike me so much? It’s not that hard
Get me some of that CRT.
Sounds like a discussion for LibsOfTikTok.
Slavery
Slavery.
