Absolutely not. I haven't asked for that at all, and I never will. There's no point to anyone apologizing. That doesn't do anything. There's no point for anyone to feel guilty. That doesn't do anything.
I just want to be aware of my own internalized racism, and I want to have discussions about racism.
I also wasn't saying that Africans weren't the "most hardcore of slaves"? I was saying that the slavery for Africans lasted longer than slavery of whites from Europe.
bELyVIS: A person doesn't need to be a certain race to be racist. A black person can engage in racist activities against other blacks, without even consciously being aware that he/she was being racist. Racist ideas are usually subconscious.
Also, the point is that - if there were no Affirmative Action - there wouldn't be any equal treatment. The black population, in general, was left off in a worst condition that the white population was. Affirmative Action is for the purpose of equality.
Miyavifan: Oh. Thanks anyway.
Er... is it possible that you can delete the posts such as "stfu" or "this is pointless"? It's just flaming and doesn't really help the discussion forward very much. :/ Or should I report this in the spams/ban/etc. thread? Or is this a case of me being too sensitive, and it doesn't actually matter?

Thanks either way.
