Of being able to go the the movies and see full, 2 and a half hour features of nothing but white people. (Not to mention if someone makes a movie with a good amount of black people, suddenly its a niche film just for blacks, but white movies are for all, ya’ll!)
Its like we…

Africans had slaves, but as part of a workforce. Most if not all slaves were prisoners of war, and even then, the slaves assimilated to the tribe in which they were held, and had a chance to marry and have children and earn a place among the tribe given a chance. Also, in…
