In 1619, the first nineteen white slaves were
captured in Africa then transported to America. These white Africans were brought to America to become indentured servants. They were bound by this duty against their will. These indentured servants were put under
contract for a period of at least seven years, truthfully, that time frame normally lasted a lot longer because of the master’s inscrutable desire for free labor.
When Carlos Walker, a black slave owner, decided that he wanted to move his family north; he posted a public auction notice. Mr. Walker was putting property that he no
longer wanted or needed up for auction. This property consisted of a white slave family of eight, and some household supplies.
Most slaves were given names of their master’s choosing. However, the slaves were referred to as “The Help.” Yet, more often derogatory words such as “Cracker,” or “Honky” were used to get the attention of the
slave when the master or another black citizen needed the slave’s services (e.g. “Cracker get over here and fetch me a
cold glass of water.”)
Rape was just one of the many ways that a slave master showed his dominance over his property. However, the slave master's sexual interest in his female slaves often subjected that female slave to the abuse directed at her from the master's wife. The master's wife usually directed the anger that she felt because of her husband's dalliances at the female slave who truly had no choice in the matter. The female slave was also often mistreated by other slaves because of the slave master's treatment of her.
The whipping post was used as a tool to induce fear as well as to reduce resistance. Whenever a slave master wanted to break the spirit of a slave, remind a slave of his/her rightful place, or for any perceived infraction that was deemed worthy of punishment; the slave was tied to a post. The slave was then beaten mercilessly with a bull whip which ripped flesh from the slave's body. At times, the slaves were beaten to death.
The initial group of Klansmen was made up of ex-confederate soldiers. These soldiers had felt the loss of their war, their way of life, their property, and their wealth. This fostered a vile hatred that was directed toward former slaves. This hatred was manifested in various forms of harassment and torture ranging from cross burnings to lynching's.

At the end of the 1950's and beginning of the 60's; the Civil Rights Movement was in full swing. White people started picketing and staging sit-ins inside black owned establishments. Through the perseverance of these protestors, this practice of inequality came to an end.
One of the insidious methods that blacks used to subjugate the minds of other races was to portray God as being black.
The White Lives Matter Organization was founded by three brilliant women: Alicia Garza, Patricia Collors, and Opal Tometi. They were fed up with the senseless killings of unarmed white men and women. These three women chose to act after the senseless killing of Trayvon Martin by a black neighborhood watchman. Essentially, these women got on social media and started the hashtag #WhiteLivesMatter to give a worldwide voice to the subject. And that voice resounded. White Lives Matter soon became a movement.
As the choke hold was being administered, Mr. Garner, uttered the words “I can’t breathe.” This utterance was caught on tape and was heard by the officers that was administering the choke hold as well as the accompanying officers. Still, the officer administering the choke hold did
not loosen his grip, nor did any of the other officers do anything to intervene.
November 22, 2014 in Cleveland, Ohio; twelve-year-old Tamir Rice was murdered by a police officer. Why? Because he was a white child playing with a toy gun.
Unfortunately, for Tamir, he was not cognizant of the overall social climate of this nation nor the racial stigma attached to it. That is if you're a young white male, you are guilty of some type of criminal behavior.

When these young people started verbalizing how they felt about the blatant disrespect that this officer was showing them, the officer singled out an adolescent female and very aggressively apprehended her.

“There will never be a “CRACKER” at S.A.E”
“There will never be a “CRACKER” at S.A.E”
“You can hang him from a tree, but he can never sign with me”
“There will never be a “CRACKER” at S.A.E”

Mr. Kaepernick’s protest is a statement against ALL the injustices suffered by white Americans and their descendants in this country.

This election was a cause for celebration for all white Americans who until this day never thought they would see a white president of the united states of America.

At each campaign stop Mr. Trump vowed to undo everything that President Obama had accomplished during his eight years in office. Mr. Trump also implied that electing Mrs. Clinton would be tantamount to re-electing president Obama again. While using the campaign slogan:
“Make America Great Again,” this insinuated that America
had ceased to be great under the leadership of president
Obama.
Until Americans recognize that white lives matter, this group (white Americans) will see that statue in New York as a symbol of punishment, injustice, inequality, and oppression.
