Republican Democrat History Summary

You really are prejudiced. I didn't mention Christians or Christianity, but you use it as an excuse to bash Christians. Here's a fun fact; slavery existed in Africa between local tribes long before Middle-Easterners or Europeans arrived, and when they did African slave traders sometimes supplied them with slaves, mostly taken from enemy tribes or criminals. Since you're so keen to bash Christianity, here's the cherry on top; a lot them weren't Christian, but mostly followed the traditional African religions.

You know what I suspect, I suspect you go for collective guilt; "tar them all with the same brush" and that you're a democrat. So when I reveal the nasty parts of the history of the Democratic party, you try to deflect onto a group you're prejudiced against. Shame on you, at least I'm able to acknowledge when Christians or other groups I'm part of have done terrible things. Also, stop this collective guilt nonsense; it's illogical - the Association Fallacy and the "Hitler Ate Sugar" brand of the Ad Hominem Fallacy to be precise.

Yeah there were Christian slavers, it was also predominantly Christians leading the charge in the U.S. to end slavery and provide civil rights for black people (two of many examples are Rev. Martin Luther King Jr and President JFK, and they were so committed to it , Rev. Martin Luther King Jr was killed for it. How dare you spit on the memory of these great men).

I see what you're getting at. For a contemporary example, Democrats are trying to manipulate minorities in the United States with welfare programs to get them to vote Democrat. There's also Democrats today trying to rewrite their history or deflect when the subject comes up... kind of like what you're doing now. Also, Jim Crow Laws were enforced until 54 years ago in 1965, a far cry from 150. By the way, the KKK killed more people than the Spanish Inquisition did and in much less time too, and unlike the Spanish Inquisition they're still around.

I specifically said one problem I had with your comment is that I didn't mention Christians or Christianity in this post and you brought that into it. You're being deliberately obtuse; I guess you're a Democrat and I struck a nerve. I haven't gone on to posts about other subjects and used them as an excuse to bash Democrats. Newsflash: Whenever you say "but", you're disregarding everything you said before hand. I also mentioned there were non-Christians involved in that fight over slavery (and that's just the U.S.).

The Bible permits slavery as a choice, not endorses it, there's a difference between permitting and endorsing - you can prohibit slavery and not be going against the Bible. Even where slavery is permitted, there are has restrictions on how to go about it. Now this post is about Democrats and Republicans, I will not let you derail this into yet another argument about Christianity.

People did bad shit yesterday. I think about all the comments you left. Such horrible people.
