What whataboutism?Its always "whataboutism" when you all start with the whataboutism
Your whole "waaaaa whites are racist but no one else is" shtickWhat whataboutism?![]()
Acknowledging a person's contribution to society is not "giving out exceptions". There were millions involved in the slave trade of that day, in all races, colors and creeds. Despite the existence of slavery, those Found Fathers gave us the foundation that we used to create the free nation that we have today, freedom that is in danger of being eroded at every turn.No.... just the people who practiced and supported slavery, which granted was probably a lot of people. Also I'm not arguing that a slaver can't be a good engineer or businessman or something. Maybe they're really good at turning a profit from their slaves. What I'm saying is that all slavers are shitty people. Now maybe you give out exceptions to slavers and murderers and rapists who can play a nice tune or really know how to slow cook a brisket but I personally have higher standards.
Right, the artist is compelled to send messages whether they want to or not. Thus, if an artist accepts commissions to create art, he/she can't refuse to create the art demanded.The artist isn't sending any message they are engaging in commerce. If the artist, like the pharmacist who objects to dispensing certain medication, doesnt like the message they're being paid for they should consider another line of work.
You sure you're not just a little bitch? Or perhaps illiterate? That's not at all what I said.Your whole "waaaaa whites are racist but no one else is" shtick
Freedom exists all on its own absent government. The Founders robbed men, women and children of their freedom and liberty and what they imposed was a slave State. They built their empire on the backs of slaves. What freedoms we have today we have in spite of them since as I said, absent government what we would have is absolute freedom.Acknowledging a person's contribution to society is not "giving out exceptions".

He's not compelled to open a business in which he writes messages others dictate to him is he? You're using artist fairly loosely here. If a painter wants to work for himself, create original work and then try to sell that work for how ever much someone is willing to pay for it that's one thing. That's a different business than being the equivalent of a Kinkos. If you open up a shop to make signs and posters and banners you're not an artist, you're a human photocopier.Right, the artist is compelled to send messages whether they want to or not.
We live in a society that requires taxes and cooperation. You shouldn't be allowed to exclude people who pay taxes that help make society possible and, by extension, your business possible, just because you dislike them. That goes for blacks, gays, nazis and conservatives. No conservative should walk into a business and hear we dont serve your kind. If you want to go barter your work in the wild have at.Thus, if an artist accepts commissions to create art, he/she can't refuse to create the art demanded.
Absent government of any kind, you have ultimate freedom, which is anarchy and is not civilization.Freedom exists all on its own absent government.
Incorrect. They took an existing state, which was a bunch of English colonies, and formed a new nation out of them, one in which slavery was allowed to continue. Hardly a "slave state", which really means all of the citizens are slaves to the state. They were not.The Founders robbed men, women and children of their freedom and liberty and what they imposed was a slave State.
They built the strongest nation in the world using all kinds of labor, from paid to slave to white indentured servitude. It was only the wealthy that could own slaves, you remember, and the government owned none. Wealthy black Americans owned slaves, Native Americans owned slaves. Basically, anyone strong and/or wealthy enough could and likely did own slaves. That being said, it was a relative handful that owned slaves in the new United States.They built their empire on the backs of slaves.
That is anarchy, which is, wait for it, the rule of the strong over the weak, which results in, again wait for it, the enslavement of the weak by the strong. We've come full circle.What freedoms we have today we have in spite of them since as I said, absent government what we would have is absolute freedom.
I did that. Your last one, especially, is egregiously, and amusingly, wrong.That argument there is 4 sentences long. Take them each one by one and tell me if my logic is faulty with any one of those statements.
If you create art on commission, you are getting paid to produce a custom piece that someone is asking you to do. An artist doing that should be open to the same restrictions as the baker is, and should be compelled to produce art he hates. Only by NOT producing "custom" art would he avoid that. The baker could also have avoided the restrictions had he only sold pre-made designs from which a customer could pick, or by stating up front that he would put a Bible verse of his choosing on every cake he bakes.He's not compelled to open a business in which he writes messages others dictate to him is he? You're using artist fairly loosely here. If a painter wants to work for himself, create original work and then try to sell that work for how ever much someone is willing to pay for it that's one thing. That's a different business than being the equivalent of a Kinkos. If you open up a shop to make signs and posters and banners you're not an artist, you're a human photocopier.
And is not your utopian "no government", aka anarchy, model.We live in a society that requires taxes and cooperation.
Again, it requires government to make any of that possible. In your utopian anarchy, you would have no guarantee that anyone would be willing to sell you anything, much less create something for you. You could be denied service for any reason and violently thrown out of the store. Ultimate freedom, remember?You shouldn't be allowed to exclude people who pay taxes that help make society possible and, by extension, your business possible, just because you dislike them. That goes for blacks, gays, nazis and conservatives. No conservative should walk into a business and hear we dont serve your kind. If you want to go barter your work in the wild have at.
Civilizations come in many different forms. The one the Founders created was a slave State. I merely wanted you to acknowledge your previous statement was false and poorly worded. More propaganda than fact. The Founders didn't give us the foundation to create a free nation. Nations impose restrictions on freedom for the sake of civilization. The Founders created a slave State for the sake of their profits and leisure.Absent government of any kind, you have ultimate freedom, which is anarchy and is not civilization.
This is simply emotion masquerading as a counter argument.. They did create a new nation. Fact. And that nation allowed and supported slavery. Fact. Calling America a slave State at its Founding is fact.Incorrect. They took an existing state, which was a bunch of English colonies, and formed a new nation out of them, one in which slavery was allowed to continue. Hardly a "slave state", which really means all of the citizens are slaves to the state. They were not.
Wrong. Especially in the South. At the start of the Civil War some states had nearly 40% of families who owned at least one slave.They built the strongest nation in the world using all kinds of labor, from paid to slave to white indentured servitude. It was only the wealthy that could own slaves, you remember, and the government owned none. Wealthy black Americans owned slaves, Native Americans owned slaves. Basically, anyone strong and/or wealthy enough could and likely did own slaves. That being said, it was a relative handful that owned slaves in the new United States.
No. Anarchy is the potential for the strong to rule over the weak. The American Founding was the strong ruling over the weak.That is anarchy, which is, wait for it, the rule of the strong over the weak, which results in, again wait for it, the enslavement of the weak by the strong. We've come full circle.
Only if you think freedoms come from government, which I think we've already established that they do not.I did that. Your last one, especially, is egregiously, and amusingly, wrong.
No, you're doing what someone is paying you to do. It's not your artwork, it's theirs. It belongs to the person paying you. If I commission you to build me an office it isn't your office just because you stack the bricks on top of one another.If you create art on commission, you are getting paid to produce a custom piece that someone is asking you to do.
I'm not arguing for magic utopia I'm just arguing against your propaganda of history and government. Government isn't freedom.An artist doing that should be open to the same restrictions as the baker is, and should be compelled to produce art he hates. Only by NOT producing "custom" art would he avoid that. The baker could also have avoided the restrictions had he only sold pre-made designs from which a customer could pick, or by stating up front that he would put a Bible verse of his choosing on every cake he bakes.
And is not your utopian "no government", aka anarchy, model.
I have no idea what utopia you think I'm arguing for. I'm all for a planned society I'm just not going to do the silly propaganda you do and call restrictions on freedom, freedom.Again, it requires government to make any of that possible. In your utopian anarchy, you would have no guarantee that anyone would be willing to sell you anything, much less create something for you. You could be denied service for any reason and violently thrown out of the store. Ultimate freedom, remember?
Using that measure, the Native Americans had slave states.Civilizations come in many different forms. The one the Founders created was a slave State. I merely wanted you to acknowledge your previous statement was false and poorly worded. More propaganda than fact. The Founders didn't give us the foundation to create a free nation. Nations impose restrictions on freedom for the sake of civilization. The Founders created a slave State for the sake of their profits and leisure.
No, it is an opinion. Define slave state, that might help.This is simply emotion masquerading as a counter argument.. They did create a new nation. Fact. And that nation allowed and supported slavery. Fact. Calling America a slave State at its Founding is fact.
In the south, about 20% owned slaves in 1860. I'd like to see where your 40% came from.Wrong. Especially in the South. At the start of the Civil War some states had nearly 40% of families who owned at least one slave.
No, because they created a system where the weak were also given Constitutional guarantees as they were granted full citizen status.No. Anarchy is the potential for the strong to rule over the weak. The American Founding was the strong ruling over the weak.
And using Public Accommodation laws, if you are in the market of taking commissions for paintings, you're obligated to paint whatever message the patron wants. If an artist can turn down a commission because he hates the message the art would send, a baker should be able to refuse to bake a cake that he feels would send a message he hates.Only if you think freedoms come from government, which I think we've already established that they do not.
No, you're doing what someone is paying you to do. It's not your artwork, it's theirs. It belongs to the person paying you. If I commission you to build me an office it isn't your office just because you stack the bricks on top of one another.
Anarchy really isn't either.I'm not arguing for magic utopia I'm just arguing against your propaganda of history and government. Government isn't freedom.
The government can't legally silence my speech. That's freedom.I have no idea what utopia you think I'm arguing for. I'm all for a planned society I'm just not going to do the silly propaganda you do and call restrictions on freedom, freedom.
You mean an objective measure? Yes. Native Americans also had slave states.Using that measure, the Native Americans had slave states.
States and societies that allow there to be legal slavery within their society or State. That seemed fairly self explanatory.No, it is an opinion. Define slave state, that might help.
PolitiFact - Viral post gets it wrong about extent of slavery in 1860In the south, about 20% owned slaves in 1860. I'd like to see where your 40% came from.
I was referring to the slaves. Slaves didn't have Constitutional protections. The minority interests the Founders were interested in protecting were the Slave holding states who because of their large slave holding population and fewer citizens would of always have had a disadvantage in national politics, hence the creation of the electoral college and the 3/5s compromise.No, because they created a system where the weak were also given Constitutional guarantees as they were granted full citizen status.
The point is I don't think an artist should be able to. You shouldn't be allowed to uses taxes everyone pays to create an economy that only certain people are allowed to participate in.And using Public Accommodation laws, if you are in the market of taking commissions for paintings, you're obligated to paint whatever message the patron wants. If an artist can turn down a commission because he hates the message the art would send, a baker should be able to refuse to bake a cake that he feels would send a message he hates.
In what way is the absence of a controlling force not freedom? Anarchy is absolute freedom.Anarchy really isn't either.
It can. Your right to unlimited speech only exists in nature, this government will impose fines and penalties on you for speech it deems slanderous or threatening.The government can't legally silence my speech. That's freedom.
You seem to be describing the absence of government force as freedom. Now where have I seen that before.... oh right is exactly what I'm saying.The government can't legally prevent me from getting together with whomever I want. That's freedom.
In other words freedom is when you're allowed to do what you want. Government exists to restrict that freedom in various ways.The government can't legally shut down the press. That's freedom.
The government can't legally prevent me from owning a firearm. That's freedom.
The government can't legally search my person, my belongings, or my domicile without due cause. That's freedom.
The Founders placed restrictions on their slaves obviously.What restrictions did they place on your freedom?
Hey I'm just going by your own words clown. You said at no point in human history were people who practiced or defended this kind of censorship, the good guys. I've got news for you, the Founders did much worse. They not only censored the speech of their slaves, they made it illegal to teach slaves to read and write. That's all on top of, you know, keeping people as slaves in the first place, which is arguably worse than censoring speech.
Hey Snowflake, they were slavers. They were tyrants. That's simply a fact.The Founding father did not engage in the sort of tyrannical censorship that you are defending. You know damn well that that is a flat-out lie.
My dishonesty?This is not to claim that they were perfect, that they did not do anything which, in retrospect a couple centuries later, we can now judge was wrong, but your attempt at an absurd tu quoque on the matter of censorship fails, utterly, as anything other than a demonstration of your own extremes of both ignorance and of intellectual dishonesty.
Sure. Censors are bad guys all throughout time, slavers..... well that depends. Where the slaves black? Because in that case censorship of liberty is A-ok!And my previous statement still stands, unrefuted: At no point in human history were people who practiced or defended this kind of censorship, the good guys.
I got you. Censorship always bad, slavery.... that depends. Makes perfect Bingo sense.The sort of censorship that is the subject of this thread has always been the undeniable mark of one who knows damn well that his position is full of shit, and cannot stand up to honest examination or discussion; that he can only “win” an argument by cheating, by silencing the opposition.
Hey Snowflake, they were slavers. They were tyrants. That's simply a fact.
My dishonesty?Aren't you the intellectual giant who thinks people who censor speech (of white people) are the bad guys in any time but the slaver Founders were ok because they practiced human slavery a long time ago? The inhumanity of slavery has a time limit but not the censoring of white speech.
Sure. Censors are bad guys all throughout time, slavers..... well that depends. Where the slaves black? Because in that case censorship of liberty is A-ok!
I got you. Censorship always bad, slavery.... that depends. Makes perfect Bingo sense.![]()
I'm not intimidated by you being too much of a Snowflake to accept basic facts. George Washington was a slaver and slavers are tyrants, ergo Washington was a tyrant. That's really basic logic my guy.

Washington did own slaves, but he was opposed to the institution of slavery. His concern was what a free slave would do to support himself. At the end of his life, he did end up freeing his slaves. All of us (you, me, and the rest of mankind) have battles with moral dilemmas at some point in our lives. Washington ended up making the right choice. But he should have taken things a step further and sent his freed slaves back to their home continent, where they'd have been more at home.I'm not intimidated by you being too much of a Snowflake to accept basic facts.

You do understand that when you keep people as slaves you're not just censoring their speech but their liberty and freedom as well right? It's censorship of the whole person, not just their speech. Also, I don't care what Washington thought about slavery, I'm referring to the fact that he was a slaver which makes him a literal tyrant.Nevertheless, regardless of what Washington thought about slavery (and it's not what you claim), he never was on record, and neither of the other founders were, of supporting the kind of censorship that you are defending.
Kind of hard to deny Washington supported slavery when he owned slaves.You're flat-out lying when you claim that they supported any such thing.
You're the one trying to fantasize about what Washington thought of slavery rather than him being a literal slaver.But then lying is what you do.
Snowflaking is what you do.Lying is what you are.
One can no more expect a common house fly to refrain from eating shit as expect you to refrain from lying.
You don't get credit for finally stopping your abuse of other people when you finally die. That's stupid and also the whitest argument I've ever heard.Washington did own slaves, but he was opposed to the institution of slavery. His concern was what a free slave would do to support himself. At the end of his life, he did end up freeing his slaves. All of us (you, me, and the rest of mankind) have battles with moral dilemmas at some point in our lives.

Thats exactly what you said faggotYou sure you're not just a little bitch? Or perhaps illiterate? That's not at all what I said.![]()
It's not you illiterate bozo.Thats exactly what you said faggot
Another win for the good guys.
You're not a liberal. Liberals are for free speech, not censorship and fascism.Let me know when they waste 3 years of their lives screaming voter fraud--as you have done with your "life"
