Because we always associate bad with dark, black etc etc
People are hyper critical and we're often considered uncivilized it's written in all those Christopher Columbus diaries and other explorers memoirs, they invaded and felt to teach us how to behave despite it not causing us any problems.
Whatever really. Different ways of thinking and feeling is making people think they're more superior, priveledged of an advantage.
We're "beneath" them because despite not being in slavery anymore our community is only just starting to prosper, but of all the other oppressed races and nations we're the only ones still awaiting compensation, freedom to live as we see fit without their input/hold over us. And because of that, that is why we still are treated with such a lack of regard and merely tolerated by others
@Peppa I hate to tell you this, but slavery ended in 1865. This is 2018. I was not responsible for what happened then. I wasn’t even alive. There’s no more prejudiced on the white side, than there is on the black. Your race just keeps bringing it up and won’t move on. You have the same privileges today as anyone else. Stop using racism as an excuse. It’s way past time to move on.
