They abolished slavery after they lost a very long and bloody war against their own countrymen who had to force them to. Additionally, it didn't stay abolished, as the thirteenth amendment allows for slavery as punishment for a crime (no matter how minor). See how easy it was for you to white-wash history by leaving out important details?
Africa, right now, has the highest level of slavery. Africa also has the highest number of hunger, deprivation, corruption etc etc.
You know what happened to the slaves who came to the west? They got out.
If the west is so bad, perhaps they can give Africa a try (which 400 years later is STILL statistically has the highest rate of slavery in the world). And its not all by waht peeplez.
And yet you needlessly tried to make slavery and discrimination against blacks throughout history the "loser" by attempting to belittle it against other historical atrocities. Ever heard the saying, "two wrongs don't make a right?"
Read my comment again. The comparison was about their propensity to whine about slavery. I just said "everyone has had oppression". To do so I had to mention other examples. Its how making a point works.
Jesus Christ you sound like you time-traveled here from the 1950s. "Wail and holler," smh.
How very "black". Language has to be "hood-ified" for it to be cool or understandable. I mean, oh dear I used language you think is from the 50s. Wait the 50's are full of waht peoplez. The 50's were rahoocizz.
Come. On.
Sure why not, I have a feeling that's about as much credit as you've ever given the black community for anything, so I won't push further.
You know another thing I notice about "our people"? Biologically, there's claffications of "race".
Caucasoids are what you call "waht peeoplez". Yet they don't class themselves as one race. They're Australians, British, Americans, Italians amongst more.
Mongoloids (what one calls asians). These are Japanese, Chinese, Korean, mixed with philipino (latino mixture) to give an example. But they don't call themselves "Yellow". They are just people or citizenships.
Negroid It seems no matter what country you're from, whether middle east, south africa, north africa, america, caribbean, whatever, the westerners (especially American blacks) lump them all as "BLACK" or "People of colour". This is an interesting and uneducated phenomenon because the "blacks" in the middle east don't refer to themselves as such.
Maybe you can enlighten me. What exactly is the "black community"? because all I know is the "human community".
Did you really already forget that it was your unprompted comment on "black oppression being readily accepted" that started this off-topic conversation? And you most certainly did not say it with positive connotations. So perhaps take your own advice and stop obsessing over just the negative aspects of the black community, even if it is one you are supposedly part of. The white community has just as many, if not more negative aspects to it, but I try to dwell on it as little as possible.
Its not off-topic. This is the issue. You will try to quash my points in this discussion by being sarcastic, by being insulting, by being personal, then resort to calling me racist, implying I am against my own race, or when that fails pretend the conversation is off topic.
THIS is why nothing can and will be done for our people. Most of us seem incapable of anything remotely resembling an intelligent dialogue.
Just compliment us overly, agree with us, accept our shortcomings and we are happy. Well, it may have worked in america, but there is a whole world out there and not many else accept this sort of behavior from us man. Even in america and western countries we will push things too far and then the backlash against us will be huge.
