Think you know about slavery? You don’t. A repost

Europeans enslaved other Europeans long before that of Africans, that it why they are called slavic countries.

An interesting philological theory! Does the name Germany have anything in common with the word "Germ" ? What does philological science say?

So what? Hitler did not create dictatorships. He did not create a genocide. Even on the subject of antisemitism, Hitler would quote Henry Ford who was a rabid antisemite. That still doe not excuse his actions.

So stop trying to justify slavery by claiming other nations practiced it. Sure they did but the United States fought for freedom and then created these immortal words - "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Did Arabs & Europeans declare that? Are you nitwits claiming that the US is no better than old European or Arabic countries? Morons.

In the Koran it says that God smiles when a slave is freed.

If that’s true, it merely proves Muslims like Christians can be hypocrites.

Oh and btw slavery has returned to the Muslim nation of Libya, thanks to the wonderful benevolent efforts by O and Her.

I never justified it idiot. Stop claiming I did.

Because other places had slavery that justifies it here? That makes slave owning something we shouldn't condemn?

we do condemn slavery------where have you been? The issue on the table is----are the citizens
of the USA today supposed to be held responsible for this HISTORICALLY WORLD WIDE
institution that became illegal in the USA in the 19th century but REMAINS legal in the place
of its HISTORIC EPICENTER----to wit, several African states?

Libya is an oil rich land, thoroughly ISLAMIC. It harbored so much OIL that it was very
easy for its KING to render it something like a very benevolent islamic monarchy and a
financier for Islamic terrorism. As a land of THE KORAN----it can never repudiate slavery
and never did........ probably never will. Slavery and support of world-wide terrorism never
LEFT LIBYA"

 

[irosie91]

You know, only a white guy from one of the slave states would post something like that.

why do you post that ^^^^^^^^^^ The map is historically accurate and very
important in the understanding of the issue of SLAVERY

Are we suppose to be responsible for what went on here? Yes, absolutely. Quit trying to defect blame.
