Lets revisit....name all the nations on earth that do NOT have slavery and racism in their history

[BlindBoo]

the bad form of slavery or the not so bad form

You mean the inhumane form where the entre race including their children are subjugated to the status of livestock and a less inhumane form?

Slavery had always existed in some form. The Chattel Slavery practiced in the South was not based on the bible which instructed the faithful how the slaves should be treated, two thousand years ago. The hatred that was instilled that allowed that kind of treatment of fellow human beings, had to force those citizens to see the the slave population (blacks) as not human beings, but as a sub human race whose only role was subordination to the white race. The hatred persists.

So are you saying that some slavery is bad but other types of slavery are not as bad???

Too fking funny.

.

It's a cruel world but it was much crueler before the industrial revolution.

No I'm saying the Chattel Slavery practiced in the American South was as bad a it gets when compared to other cultures. Not all cultures treated their slaves on par with farm animals.

Did racism come before slavery? Or did they teach us racism to justify enslaving an entire race?

The Left likes to call slavery The Original Sin of this nation.


Yet if you are right, it is really just a matter of degree difference from every other nation.


Hardly worthy of the massive obsession the Left has with it.


Sort of the point.

I can't help what people say to make their arguments. Fact remains that racism and discriminatory treatment continued legally for over hundred year after the institution was abolished.

Sure you can help. Just don't support those they push this narrative of slavery being America's Original Sin.


America is a great nation with a great history. That anti-Americans can find something negative to focus on, does not take away from that.

If anything, that fact that our triumphs were hard fought and won, makes them all the GREATER, not lesser.

I don't. It came to the New World through the natural course of history.

The bolded is BS. It was much worse in other parts of the Americas on the large corporate sugar plantations. People had short life expectancies there. American slaves had better living conditions, food, shelter than poor Irish across the pond. About 400K W. African slaves came to the colonies/USA and today the black population in the USA in over 40 Million. Compare that to the Caribbean where 4-5 Million slaves were shipped and today the Afro Caribbean (as people call it) population is around 22 Million.

The Slave trade ended in 1808. By 1860 their children tripled the slave labor population. Larger and larger plantations were springing up and conditions were getting worse.

Agree. The hatred persists because the Democrat party keeps stoking the fire of racial tensions.

 

[Decus]

So when are slaves not considered the equivalent of livestock?

Slaves have their freedom taken from them, the are forced to work in ways they do not want to, without pay, required to sleep and eat what their owner chooses to give them and are even today beaten or killed if they do not comply.

Sorry but I'm not seeing a "less inhumane" form of slavery.

[ColonelAngus]

It seems we pretty much shot down that bullshit.

This movement is to delegitimize the USA and its institutions sl it can be replaced with socialism...and all of these dumb fuck leftists will see the folly of their ways when their property is seized for centralized planning and the greater good.

THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU DUMB FUCK LEFTISTS:



Fucking morons.

What about ancient Egypt?
They treated the local slaves humanely. They treated the foreign slaves(they talked about hating people with different color skin) like animals. Egyptians thought they were superior.
So, what were you saying?

Until the age of enlightenment slavery was the norm.

You completely missed my point. How convenient.

That Egypt had slaves. Wow! It all makes sense now!

And you still refuse to acknowledge it. Why cant you just say you were wrong, instead of looking like even MORE of an idiot?
You hacks blow my mind.

[Cellblock2429]

The only conclusions here are that leftists are liars or they are stupid.

If they know every country on earth has a history of slavery and racism, their outrage is simply for politics..which is lying.

If you did not know that slavery and racism is in the history of every country, then you need to read a fucking book.

Yep. Their reactions validate your position. YOu have certainly proven the point well here.

What point?

"they know every country on earth has a history of slavery and racism, their outrage is simply for politics..which is lying."

Huh? You think people only oppose slavery and racism "for politics"? Seriously?? What does that even mean?

/—-/ It means you clowns screaming about slavery in the US that ended 160 years ago while ignoring today’s slave market in Africa.

Hmmm... I don't recall screaming about slavery. Maybe you have me mixed up with someone else. But I also haven't really heard anyone else complaining about it. We made it illegal 150 years ago. Are you sure you're not talking about racism?

If people like yourself, with undeniable lib cred, don't support this form of divisive race baiting, it would be very healthy for America as a whole. You CAN do something about it.

The Chinese weren't treated well but moved on, saw opportunity and took it. Asian Americans have done so well that Ivy League schools cap their numbers for fear that room would not be available for lesser qualified students.

"Even as they struggled to find work, Chinese immigrants were also fighting for their lives. During their first few decades in the United States, they endured an epidemic of violent racist attacks, a campaign of persecution and murder that today seems shocking. From Seattle to Los Angeles, from Wyoming to the small towns of California, immigrants from China were forced out of business, run out of town, beaten, tortured, lynched, and massacred, usually with little hope of help from the law."

The injustices are not only in the past. To ignore them is to pretend they didn't happen and it invite these things to happen again. A serious discussion needs to happen and loaded questions like the OP's as well as the propaganda effort of the 1619 project do little to further the discussion or help those effected.

BREAKING! Whitey Righties comforted by many other countries having slavery and racism too.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Still nothing, huh, communists.

Just a little FYI.....I have never owned a slave.

 

[BS Filter]

BREAKING! Whitey Righties comforted by many other countries having slavery and racism too.

Conservative politics has absolutely nothing to do with slavery. Sell that propaganda to some naive college kids.

 

[IM2]

America is systemically racist....BLM....CRT.....all that shit.

America sucks according to leftist communists.....so list the nations on earth that do NOT have have a history of slavery and racism.

We have like 200 countries currently

Make a list:

1)

The white boy excuse. Slavery ended in 1865.

This is happening now.

In America.


Cost Of Racism: U.S. Economy Lost $16 Trillion Because Of Discrimination, Bank Says

Nationwide protests have cast a spotlight on racism and inequality in the United States. Now a major bank has put a price tag on how much the economy has lost as a result of discrimination against African Americans: $16 trillion.

Since 2000, U.S. gross domestic product lost that much as a result of discriminatory practices in a range of areas, including in education and access to business loans, according to a new study by Citigroup.

Specifically, the study came up with $16 trillion in lost GDP by noting four key racial gaps between African Americans and whites:

$13 trillion lost in potential business revenue because of discriminatory lending to African American entrepreneurs, with an estimated 6.1 million jobs not generated as a result

$2.7 trillion in income lost because of disparities in wages suffered by African Americans

$218 billion lost over the past two decades because of discrimination in providing housing credit

And $90 billion to $113 billion in lifetime income lost from discrimination in accessing higher education

Cost Of Racism: U.S. Economy Lost $16 Trillion Because Of Discrimination, Bank Says

Citigroup estimates the economy would see a $5 trillion boost over the next five years if the U.S. were to tackle key areas of discrimination against African Americans.
