Racism is racism & nobody wants to be on the receiving end of it...

No one foisted anything except the Black tribes that enslaved their neighbors. Everyone else was engaged in commerce as it had been and still is in many parts of the world including Africa and the Middle East.

I do believe the discussion revolved around slavery in America. Not Africa.
Commerce back then was not like it is today.

My gosh.

Slave commerce has not ended in the POC part of the world. Yet your yap never opens to complain about the injustice. Why not?

What does that even mean? You actually believe "slave commerce" is limited just to the Klanners of the southern United States of America today? Really?

Why are you trying to build it up for the purpose of vilification? Free money grab for “reparations”. It’s part of our history as is the civil war. Slavery is an even greater part of world history but you only want to use it as a cudgel to villainize modern day white Americans as if white Americans invented slavery. White people outlawed slavery and enforced its prohibition on the high seas. Africa and other regions continue the practice. Your never outraged by that so you’re not that upset by slavery just what you and Al Sharpton and the rest of the race baiters can profit off of it.

Again, back up to the top, it's funny how you think talking about slavery in the US is hating on white people.

Yes, there were many white people who wanted to end slavery. And ...remind me... who fought FOR slavery? Who kept pushing for it to be expanded? Who demanded escaped slaves who made it to non-slave states be returned to them at the tax payer expense?

Why do you want to minimize the institution of slavery, and the objectively monstrous people who wanted to keep it going YET at the same time lionize those objectively monstrous people as historical figures that need to be remembered if you're not a racist?

Explain it. If you're not a racist, explain it. Explain why you want to shift blame away from the people who engaged in chattel slavery for generations, minimize the work the people held in slavery did to build the economy of this country, and yet at the same time lionize the very people who started a war to keep chattel slavery.

Because it makes a lot of sense if you are a racist. If you think that Black Americans aren't human, it would make sense that you want to treat them like a horse for plowing a field. Because for a racist, there's nothing wrong.

You have repeatedly said that you don't own slaves. No one has said that you do. I never have. I've never seen anyone here accuse your or anyone else of owning slaves. No one thinks you own slaves.

So...if you're not a racist, and you have declared to me many times that you're not, explain why you want to minimize the horrible institution of slavery here in the US, the impact it had on the US economy, and why you want to lionize the people who fought a war to defend & expand it?

Again back to the top. Why do you want to exaggerate it? Speaking of slavery isn’t hating on white people. However, If you are exaggerating and skewing the facts in order to sell your DEI hate whitey narrative to prove the whites were bad because they allowed slavery it is. Without addressing that slavery existed throughout the world and blacks were some of its primary purveyors of it is cherry picking facts because you want some sort of modern day benefit from your narrative. You were never a slave, you deserve no compensation for historical conditions or events.

So, again, you refuse to answer.

but I'll answer yours- I am not exaggerating it. I am repeating historical facts. If your state hasn't banned those books, you can go and verify it all for yourself.

Stating that slavery existed in other places doesn't make it okay that we did it. People in Africa capturing other humans and selling them as slaves doesn't make it okay that we bought them.

I've never claimed I was due anything from slavery here in the US. I've never claimed to be descended from anyone who was a slave. In fact, I have repeatedly stated that I'm a middle aged white dude who lives in Frisco, Texas.

But back to the question- if you're not a racist, why would you work to minimize slavery, it's impact on the American economy, shift blame, yet at the same time raise up the people who started a war to keep slavery in place?

If you're not a racist, why do that?

“ So, again, you refuse to answer.”

I have answered twice but I refuse to answer how you want. Are facts racist? You claim I minimize slavery and I claim you maximize it. You say my facts are racist because you don’t ascribe to them. There are many facts that disprove your hyped assumptions.

“Stating that slavery existed in other places doesn't make it okay that we did it.”

It puts it in context when you want to use it as a crutch to prop up your race baiting narrative.

We ended the civil war in 1865 why are you trying to resurrect it with hate towards southerners and democrats?

“love how I ask you to answer a question that I didn't even come up with and here you are, the keyboard warrior, getting rage baited by a libtard lol”

😂 love how you assume I am enraged. Are you Projecting?

“Well I'm not the one to judge, but people usually don't say "shut up" to someone during a constructive conversation when they aren't enraged ;)“

Well I never sensed you were looking for a constructive conversation and it’s obvious you weren’t. I was answering the question posed and the shut up was generic and applicable to all race baiting whiners. That you took it so personally and immediately jumped to insult belies the fact that you are the enraged butt hurt party looking for an excuse to be offended. Typical leftist.

"If you're not a racist slavery apologist- why are you working to minimize the history of slavery in the United States, shift blame to others, yet at the same time celebrate and raise up the very people who engaged in slavery?" This one right here ;D”

As I said I apologize for nothing because I did nothing. Facts are facts, if those facts hinder your hype, well too bad. Slavery happened it’s part of history. It afflicted every race of people since time began. You were never a slave so shut up. It’s history it happened, note the past tense. It happened a long time ago. Opposing your race baiting narratives isn’t apologizing for history.

There you go Mr Alt.

Which one ;)
