I'm not forgetting it, I'm well aware of that.

Race is NOT an illusion, it is scientific fact backed up by just about every scientific book you can imagine. If other nations were to have the same kind of racial integration then you would see all kinds of problems there as well. Look at Germany. Jews are a race and were persecuted for being of their race, not their nationality. Jews don't believe they even have a nationality.

Ok, where does the term "Jew" come from? lol... just think about it.

When you're ancestors where in Africa they were considered black and inferior when they were purchased by the white slavers. They were not just considered African. The slavers saw the physical and cultural differences and made judgements based on them. Do you really think that if the same people who lived in Africa looked exactly like the white slavers, there would have been slavery? I highly doubt it.

I think you should take an african american history course before jumping to such conclusions.
First of all, when people from africa came in first contact with people from england they were not considerd black, that was a term created in america... and they were also not seen as inferior.
The first africans to come to america weren't even slaves, they were indentured servants (because it was against the law to have born again christians as slaves at the time). And at the the time there was slavery, both in africa and in america... white people were slaves here, and black people were slaves there. I don't want to take you through a whole history lesson on it... but when I return I will if I must, I suggest you read more into the subject.
