I don’t see how those discussions would lead to anything productive. We can all agree that slavery is bad and it is against humanity. But we disagree slavery is solely a white people thing. If blacks have had won fights against whites, I don’t think blacks would treat whites any better. It’s counterproductive to focus on how one race suffered more than another, and it’s racist to suggest one race is superior than another.
We are talking about right now how whites are trying to change the history of chattel slavery in America in how it is taught right now in Florida. They have the audacity to say a slave benefited from a skill learned while a slave. WTF?
How about white people TODAY stop lying and being discriminatory towards black people and all people who aren't white.
How are white people today discriminating toward black people? Is it all white people, or just some? Are Asians discriminating toward black people? Are black people discriminating toward black people? Do black people kill tens of thousands of black people every year in America? Which is more oppressive, black people killing thousands of black people, or a history standard in Florida teaching that black slaves used skills learned while they were slaves to find employment when slavery was ended? Which are you more vocal about?
Is it right that Europe took so much from so many parts of the world? Does might make right?
Might makes right has been how ALL humans have behaved for 200,000+ years.
Only painfully stupid people think this trend started with white people a few hundred years ago.
I understand. That's why when China wins the war against the US and makes Jackie Chan the president of the new American puppet government it installs here as it begins to ship our resources to mainland China, it will be accepted by all because might makes right.
2. Secondly, there are 10 unarmed black males (about) shot and killed by police per year...that's the same amount of black males who are killed in a typical week in Chicago.
135 unarmed Black men shot by police between 2015 and 2020.
How many black police officers have ever killed an unarmed white person with impunity ever in America?
I only know of one Somali-American police officer in Minnesota who shot an unarmed white Australian woman and they threw the book at him and awarded her family $20M.
Please provide for me the hundreds of videos of black police officers murdering unarmed white people with impunity? I'll wait.

pretty sure 458777 was banned
Nah...I do have things to do other than sit here 24/7.

What fantasy world do you live in where nothing happens unless everyone accepts it??
Did the French and Polish accept it when Germany conquered them in WW2? Of course not but they couldn't do a damn thing about it so that's what happened.
As for China, China could never win a war with the US. China has no blue water navy and they import most of their food and energy. The US could starve 500 million Chinese to death without firing a shot just by closing the shipping lanes to China.
Japan is almost 99% Japanese. Do you think Japan is immoral?
Finland, Croatia, Moldova, and Lithuania are 99% white. Are they immoral?
Most African countries are 99% black. Are they immoral?
Oh....all knowing white boy, please tell us when all these sub Saharan nations became independent from their evil white colonizers?
They were iron age cavemen when evil whitey showed up. Without evil whitey they would still be iron age cavemen living in mud brick houses and dying before they hit 30.
please explain why you and your repub friends fly confederate flags? What African-America is supporting that BS......zero
I wouldn't fly a confederate flag I live in the north.
To most people who use that flag it represents southern pride and has nothing to do with the slavery or racism.
Prior to all of this woke nonsense The Dukes of Hazard had a rebel flag car and no one thought it was "racist".
Further, it was the confederate battle flag and 99% of southern soldiers didn't own slaves.
Southern Pride in what? Obesity, lack of education? Sucking the federal teet? Some serious mental gymnastics to separate the battle flag of the confederate from slavery and the fact the south succeeded because of slavery. But mental gymnastic are Trumpees thing I guess.
"Woke" - come on man find a way to better express yourself - you're always calling people out on their lack of intellect but you just regurgitate InfoWars crap talking points.
At least you're able to recognize that the Civil War was much like every other war - poor people fighting rich people's wars.
I guarantee the black guy is thread where sneakers made in Asia by slave labor. And if you blame him for it he won't take the blame. Americans got their cotton from slaves, those Americans died off, and he's blaming the ones that or descended from them. Regular people have no control over economic systems. The elite that did anything that you didn't like are long gone now. You're not going to get white people to feel guilty because of it, unless they're on marijuana or something
Uh Oh.....the white guy is upset about some words. Not like I actually lynched you or enslaved you, or denied you the right to vote for 300 years or redlined you or shot you to death while you were unarmed.
The fact that the foundational wealth of the US was based on slavery and genocide is a major problem for modern day white, Christian nationalism ideology-wise.
The solution?: Say that slavery and genocide were in the remote past (i.e. had no important long term consequences for the descendants of the enslaved, murdered, and displaced), and were, perhaps, "not all that bad", or, at least, "complicated".
The old solution was simply to own, and to even celebrate, slavery and genocide as evidence of inherent racial/civilizational superiority. But for all their shunning of liberal niceties, the far right typically won't do this full-throatedly anymore.
The Desantis education reforms are a pristine example of this ideological shift. Call it the the new "post-liberal" racism.
Oh what a nice, little useful idiot you are. It's obvious you haven't read Florida's social studies guidelines, because what you are saying has no relation. It's painfully obvious you've just received your opinions from all the other delusional, sheepish liberals in their bubble. You would have made a great Nazi 90 years ago, you're really great at letting the media and politicians do your thinking for you.
There wouldn't be room here to list all of the things you clearly haven't bothered to read, and I shudder to think who does your thinking for you.
But I dare you to just come out and say it, old school: That settler colonialism, including slavery and genocide, was a boon to human civilization; that even its victims were net beneficiaries of its cruelties; and, that its institutions are evidence of European racial and civilizational superiority-- in total, a great heritage that is now being called into question in the name of elevating the weak and inferior to a faux equal status, with disastrous consequences for all concerned.

It doesn't take any "mental gymnastics" if you aren't ignorant.
Alas, you can't help it.
You acknowledge that the people fighting the wars aren't the same people that start them yet you aren't clever enough to figure out that the soldiers aren't fighting for the same reason as the "rich people".
We have the diaries and journals and memoirs of thousands of confederate soldiers. We know why they fought. I'll take their word for it over yours thanks.
And the south literally lost the war because their slavery based economy was garbage.

SMH....you are the damn problem with your ignorant prejudiced butt. Still lying and still discriminating. And now the state of florida wants to lie and make it a law to tell kids in school that American chattel slavery provided a benefit to the slaves.......a skill, but still made it against the law for them to read and write.
SMH.....white folks desperate to change history.
If you study history and you aren't upset and appalled by the actions of man against man, man against woman.....then you aren't studying history. You are reading a bedtime story to make you feel good.

You too, adultinhisroom.
These evil white countries are so abhorrent to the poor little brown people that to this day the poor little brown people are dying to get into the irredeemably racist white countries.
It's idiotic to pretend all cultures and civilizations are equal.
Do you honestly believe Mozart is equal to tribesmen grunting and beating on animal skin drums?
I understand. That's why when China wins the war against the US and makes Jackie Chan the president of the new American puppet government it installs here as it begins to ship our resources to mainland China, it will be accepted by all because might makes right.

Why so defensive? The non-Vichy French and Poles persevered with help and beat back the Axis. The Kuomintang did not and lost to Mao and the Communists. Might made right in both cases, yes?
If might makes right, then the winner is always right, the loser is wrong. Even if you’re that loser. To the victor goes the spoils. Trial by combat. Call it whatever you want.

SMH....Newsflash....that damn flag has always been racist to black people. That flag and other flags were used by the Confederate. The Confederate...you know those traitors to the United States that rebelled against the nation so that they could continue to own black people. Now racist want to say its Southern pride? Pride in getting your a** beat in a war. Pride in being a short lived country. Pride in being rural and ignorant.
Also...a lot more than 1% of southerners owned slaves from 1619 to 1865. Even if the didn't own slaves they still raped, beat and murdered blacks with impunity and then passed laws to keep them as 2nd class citizens for another 100 years and even after the passing of Civil Rights laws in the late 60's and 70's continue to discriminate to this very day.
