Um, I was quite clear that I agreed with everything EXCEPT for that one point. I never said racism does not exist, so perhaps you put words in my mouth?

And guess what? You know nothing about my experiences, so please don't assume.

I have been called n*gger and other names and have had discrimination that I've had to deal with.

I cited information that is actually factual. Slaves WERE kept in ancient India, China, etc. In ancient Greece, they assumed slaves were like machines.

I never said that anyone's experiences are invalid. I did point to historical facts, however. Crispus Attics did exist. Whites were also enslaved, as were Asians and Native Americans, and slavers were not all white. These are just facts.
