This shouldn't make white people mad.

Me not feeling threatened by this image = white privilege

Yup

It didn't make me mad. Sad, I suppose, because it necessitates the existence of those who would be angered by it.

I did wonder though what the world would be like today if Europe was largely a flat grassland and Africa had its level of geographical dividers (the 'pressure cooker of society' theory essentially, but switch up Europe and Africa).

Would African culture react and adopt better to better technology in the same manner Europe did? Would theirs have been an actual Age of Exploration, not the Age of Exploration/Exploitation that we saw from Europe?

Alternative history is nothing but speculation, but speculation is always interesting. What's done is done though.

Well, equally angry & sickened as it would if the roles were reversed, but tempered by the fact that is hasn't actually happened that way.

Why should this be shocking? There are plenty of white slaves, and I mean right now. The only thing incorrect about the image is those slaves are mostly women.

That made no sense

Humans of all races are still bought and sold around the world. You know that.

Yes, but we aren't talking about humans of all races around the world. We're talking about a very specific conversation.

Wow. OK. Guess people who are currently alive don't matter.

Ah, I see, you're trying the "Only Black Lives Matter" trope which clearly denotes you a) adopted what suited your narrative first b) you were lazy c) never actually researched the message ro d) Heard someone else's explanation and sought confirmation bias to match that message.

No. It's not that those lives don't matter, its that black lives matter -as well- as those. But, you were too busy portraying your care for other races and foreign domestic issues, you forgot your "America First" policy and didn't bother to hear the plight of our own African American Community.

As part of my work in the intelligence community, I came across information about trafficking a couple times and was told that it wasn't my mission. It's kind of a sore spot when people pick one tree to care about and eff anyone who notices the forest is in trouble.

You don't work in the intelligence community.

And second, if you're going to use the "Forest for the Trees" bit, at least use it correctly. I'm talking about a continent of trees, you're talking about the entire globe.

1997-2005. And equating one race to a tree is not too difficult to intuit.

are you actually arguing about a completely different topic on a post about one topic, while being told to be quiet because of the tangent you are going off on?

Keep your stick on the ice, eh?
