No different from niccas wearing chains on their neck [pic]

I don't understand why you would get upset about it, just don't wear them if it offends you?

"black slaves" also worked farms, picked cotton, and used shovels does that mean shovels should be banned? no cotton swabs allowed in doctors offices because that's racially insensitive?

insensitive[..] negroes i swear, how you gonna get upset about a !!ing shackle on a shoe when people were being shackled before you even went on your !!ing cruise [pic]

And I'm offended that you can act like black slavery wasn't distinctly different than any other slavery. And I ain't justifying slavery at all (look at my sig). You actually think that the institution of slavery and the building of the americas isn't exclusive to blacks...oh, it is.
