Do you understand how many people died during the several hundred years the slave trade was running? Do you understand how many people died (or were raped, et cetera) in bondage? Do you get that even after emancipation, it wasn't for another hundred years or more that black people were recognized as having rights? Even then, do you get that equality still doesn't exist? The Holocaust is fucking deplorable, and the two should never be compared because they're both incredibly fucking terrible acts of inhumanity.
Also, Israel isn't really one of the most humane states, what with their killing innocents fairly frequently.
Obviously your either a dumbshit or ignorant. Holocaust deaths way exceed those of the slave trade and they were killed in worse ways then anyone could have imagined. This is not to compare deaths, this is to compare how one word triggers fights,death, and racism remarks when there are other words 10x worse. Get over it.
For Tyrone you think blacks had it hard? Btw those were your ancestors not you so get over it, it dosen't affect you. 1 word: HALOCAUST if you think slavery of blacks was worse then say so and we can all laugh at you.
You are aware that, in discussing American politics, which is where the most contentious racial issues exist, Jews suffered very little long term harm from the Holocaust. That being said, black people in the US still suffer the ramifications of the racist policies of the US, not to mention modern day racist policies.
Also, most historians estimate the death toll of the slave trade (spanning 400 years) at around 10 million. That's not as many innocents dead as the Japanese killed during WWII, but more than the typical estimates of the Holocaust. Adding to that, the Jews got a country (in another people's land), and black people get the legacy of racism.
Blacks are not a religion, or a culture but a race. If anything there are Africans, Nigerians, Americans, Sweetish and Germans who are black so who doesn't have a country? Not only Jew's live in their "homeland", it's just run by jews and has the most of them but still jews live everywhere.
Leave the russians out of this...

Certainly, in taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior; for it is a prince’s part to pardon. - A wise friend.
