Hitting someone in a car should be justifiable sometimes

Why not funny? Problem is everyone seems to think the slavery is only associated with African Americans.

ALL races have been slaves at one point or another in history. Lets (let's) not get so worked up over some light humor or an offside comment.

Btw when where you or your parents or anyone you know a slave? That's what I though.

BTW...it should read: When were you, or your parents, or anyone you know a slave? That's what I thought.

I don't recall making a statement that indicated that slavery was exclusive to black people. I am very well aware of the far reaching history of slavery, as well as the fact that it still occurs in some places even today. Don't make the erroneous assumption that I am ignorant of facts...
However, I don't find slavery to be funny, and in the context of this thread, the comment was meant to refer to slavery of blacks. I simply stated that I didn't think that the comment was funny and I'm entitled to that opinion. You're the one that seems to be worked up...I said two words and you go on an unnecessary tirade.

Yeah my English grammar sucks. sucks, barely passed, I skipped 3x a week my junior and senior year. lol

It was not really meant only for you. It comes up a lot and MOST people do tend to look at slavery as if it ONLY ever happened to their immediate race/situation and they need everyone to apologize for it for another 300 year.

No, not worked up in any sense of the meaning, must just be the way it was read. Until I saw your reply I had forgotten about it already. LOL

I only bring it up because I see it mentioned all the time and most everyone is afraid to touch the subject or comment anymore. It's just another one of those things I try to look at logically and not afraid to also share my opinion even though it may not be the most popular.
