-- Posted by jakelong at 11:59 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Some ppl keep insisting that ALL whites in the 19th century considered blacks as not human so therefore whatever whites did to blacks was justified. Do you agree with that? -- Posted by xRagsx at 12:00 am on Dec. 2, 2008 There is no way of knowing if "ALL" whites were racist.  In fact, it's almost impossible that all of them were. A great many, probably, but not "ALL". -- Posted by kaylalynn2008 at 12:01 am on Dec. 2, 2008 i wasn't alive then, dear. -- Posted by imSOFAKINGrad at 12:02 am on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from kaylalynn2008 at 12:01 am on Dec. 2, 2008 i wasn't alive then, dear. thats why they have history class in school -- Posted by Malachite Morning at 12:03 am on Dec. 2, 2008 No, I believe there were quite a few who saw them as more than that. In fact, quite a few people wrote about befriending blacks at that point in time...

Most maybe, but I'd say the animal rights people would have liked the blacks. -- Posted by iconoclast at 12:14 am on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from kmksrhdgaf420 at 3:02 am on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from kaylalynn2008 at 12:01 am on Dec. 2, 2008 i wasn't alive then, dear. thats why they have history class in school i always cut -- Posted by nyn at 12:17 am on Dec. 2, 2008 It's unlikely that every individual would have been, but on a public front, it was the general consensus. -- Posted by cropduster at 12:33 am on Dec. 2, 2008 No. Anybody with the most basic knowledge of that century would laugh at that concept. -- Posted by ImConfusedForSure at 12:37 am on Dec. 2, 2008 They were not all Racists. Certain members of the Caucasian community fought for the end of Slavery. -- Posted by kaylalynn2008 at 12:38 am on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from kmksrhdgaf420 at 12:02 am on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from kaylalynn2008 at 12:01 am on Dec. 2, 2008 i wasn't alive then, dear. thats why they have history class in school history classes tend to be biased as far as racism goes, though. -- Posted by cupcake25 at 12:42 am on Dec. 2, 2008 watch the movie or read the book "to kill a mockingbird" its about the black and white supremacy and how one white man stands up for black rites its based on a true story its very good -- Posted by maceyface at 12:44 am on Dec. 2, 2008 do you really think that anything would have been done about the slave situation if all whites were racist? fyi white people are the only ones who made those decisions back in the day. -- Posted by jakelong at 12:45 am on Dec. 2, 2008 Re-read the OP Quote: from jakelong at 11:59 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Some ppl keep insisting that ALL whites in the 19th century considered blacks as not human so therefore whatever whites did to blacks was justified.   Do you agree with that?
