@covie_93 Every race and ethnicity has endured slavery. The only unique thing about it is Western civilizations abolishing it. Please quit playing the victim 24/7. Slavery has not affected your life at all. No one thinks it's good. Please stop making excuses for yourself.
@Kybozarth10@DimitriDAGreat@TruthOffense@Idontgiveafk82 No white person goes to India expecting to be treated equal. No white person goes to Africa expecting equal treatment. Blacks are the only ones who go into different cultures/races and expect to be put on a pedastal. Yes you had slavery, we all did - that means nothing.
@Kybozarth10@DimitriDAGreat@TruthOffense@Idontgiveafk82 Yes, you were hated by us. You were hated by your own hence the enslavement. Stereotypes and prejudice doesn't spawn out of nowhere - it's earned. Hence why you make up 50% of all violent crime in the states while only being 13% of the population.
@Kybozarth10@DimitriDAGreat@TruthOffense@Idontgiveafk82 That is why I specified the Atlantic Slave Trade in my response. Which is the only time period of slavery that most people today seem to care about. I've never seen a single Chinese person cry over their treatment building the railroads. Maybe its a cultural thing with blacks.
@SaniceT13225@DimitriDAGreat@TruthOffense@Idontgiveafk82 How phones are made today has nothing to do with African Americans calling for reparations regarding the Atlantic Slave Trade. I'm not sure why you think this is relevant.
@BeezInYa1@psalms3711@kevinblue345 You will need to find a legal framework to go after your captors for repirations in Africa but I wish you luck!
We'd like a piece too since we freed you, thanks.
@DimitriDAGreat@SaniceT13225@TruthOffense@Idontgiveafk82 Exactly what I say every single time a black person brings up oppression or slavery, while simultaneously living their longest lives, having the highest IQs and earning the most money in white countries.
@SaniceT13225@DimitriDAGreat@TruthOffense@Idontgiveafk82 Yes, England followed by the US were the first nations to completely abolish slavery in the modern world.
Africa, however, continued slavery for decades after we abolished it. And they were doing it for hundreds of years before we started. Yet somehow you don't mention that...
@psalms3711@kevinblue345 Reparations would come from those who enslaved you, i.e. Africans. They enslaved their own and marketed them to the whole world (not just us) as subhuman servants. If you want reparations, go get it from your African ancestors, as they started the slave trade. We ended it.
@MasterMaliq You're really concerned about Christianity while following the teachings of an admitted pedophile, Muhammad? Really? The guy brags about marrying a 6 year old and has over a billion followers, but you're worried about if Christianity is a contract?
Priorities.
@Kybozarth10@DimitriDAGreat@TruthOffense@Idontgiveafk82 Great question! We owned them because a barbaric, primitive group of people in Africa captured their own and sold them off to the world (not just us). Marketed them as subhuman servants to anyone who would buy.
