Zone1 Throughout history did Black people treat people better compared to white people? Or is it generally equal.

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

We have seen radical lefties suggest that black folks treated their slaves better compared to whites. I’ve seen them attempt to justify this by bringing up random one off examples of a black person freeing a slave.


But in fact during the times of the Roman Empire the gladiators who may have been black or white, were sometimes freed via the wooden sword.

Additionally there are plenty of examples of slaves being treated horrifically in Africa, Asia Europe or in America. So it’s quite obvious, I would say that generally speaking white people and Black people throughout history, treated others equally bad or equally good.

I respect the history of all peoples. But I have noticed that the left wingers in America specifically the radical left are probably the most racist people in the country at this current moment. Not only how they approach current events, but how they approach historical topics. Again, I’m not talking about all lefties. But this is specifically the radical BLM left.



Instead of trying to bring people together, the radical left will say America was unique and evil in the slave trade while Africans treated their slaves wonderfully… They are either so drugged out, racist or brainwashed that they actually believe that a slave in Africa had a better life than a slave in America.

Slaves in America had slightly longer life spans than free people of their native countries of Senegal and Congo.

I don't understand why you people just don't be proud racists. This attempt at minimizing the brutality of chattel slavery is just a nakedly thirsty desire for intellectual legitimacy which you will never get.

I’m not responding to false accusations and personal attacks​

I think it’s generally equal …the opposite answer perpetuates racism imo

Slavery is slavery ..chattel slavery is a buzzword and blacks did that to

Not sure why text is bold it won’t let me unbold

I think everyone pretty much tried to kill each other since they were always in survival mode. The more advanced win out.

Yes I get it

We can say the Roman Empire was inclusive of different cultures. They had white and black slaves…also white and blacks in powerful positions…. The Romans accomplished a lot

They basically conquered other cultures much the same as the British.

They were about greatness

Rome won over many Jews ,Arabs and Africans to their cause. While Rome conquered other lands they often incorporated elements of the religions they encountered.

You even asking that question reveals the depth of your ignorance. Black people and White people as separate races of people is itself a racist belief that has no bearing in actual biology. It makes more sense to separate people by culture. Have Black Americans as a distinct cultural group treated White Americans better? There's a fairly obvious answer to that one.

I’m not responding to false accusations and personal attacks, of course say won’t you want but my point remains​

I don’t believe in race but we all have similarities and differences.

Radical leftists here suggest that Africans treated slaves better compared to Europeans

Such a view perpetuates racism and doesn’t hold up to history.

I believe they mostly tolerated. But not always. Ask Jesus.

The Romans weren’t perfect , who was though ?

Jesus was persecuted by a group of Jews and Romans…he also won over many Jews and Roman pagans to his cause.

As Rome eventually become a Christian empire.


My main point is I respect the Roman’s tremendously …they successfully incorporated diversity

That really isn't saying much. Maybe do some pushups and come back with a stronger, more confident point to make? What sort of differences? Genetically speaking there is more biological variation among Africans than among Africans and Europeans. That means an African and a European can be more genetically similar than an African and another African.

Do they? Quote them and then I'll believe you.

What holds up history is you being able to provide an objective accounting of whatever you're claiming.

Being an asshole to other people isn’t reserved to one group or excluded from a group people. There are assholes all over the world and they come in all races colors, creeds, sexes, genders, heights, weights eye colors. Etc.

It’s the internet you can be a tough guy , doesn’t bother me.

Im2 said that Africans treated slaves better compared to Europeans.

Their diversity was regional. If you put all the blacks in one state and all the Jews in another state and all of the highspanics in another state, etc., you’d have a parallel.

Agreed

Unfortunately The modern radical left believes whites/ Europeans were worse compared to non whites
