Yes, whites have done some awful things to blacks. I like to remind people of that. Especially some of the closet bigots in my own family. But, here is a point of fact that always gets overlooked, we whites have done equally bad things to ourselves. The slave trade didn't begin and end with America. Whether they were called serfs, peasants, indentured servants, or a myriad of other titles, they were still slaves. We have a long and glorious history of slaughter and slavery. The first time the catholic church tried to prohibit the slave trade was in 992.ce(or ad if you prefer). These were mostly white slaves being taken overseas to non-christen lands. That includes lands like Egypt, and Nubia(Sudan). You know, Africa. Now I'm not saying these things as an excuse. What I'm saying is wealthy people treat the poor like shit no matter what color there skin is. The only color we need to worry about is Green.
Well in America anyway. Other countries have very colorful currency. But my little speech wouldn't have have sounded as good if I had said "The only color we need to worry about is Rainbow."
Your speech would've sounded better if you weren't trying to downplay racism. The color of skin is far more important than the color of currency. The things white people have done to other white people pales in comparison to what they've done to people of color. Before they started bringing black people from Africa, look at what they did to the indigenous population in North and South America.
You can say all you want about what's happened to white people...just remember that it's nothing close to what's happened to people who aren't white.
I'm sorry if you felt I was trying to downplay racism. I thought that I made it clear how I felt about racism in the beginning of the post. What I was trying to show was that the violence experienced during slavery was not restricted to blacks. And to support my statement I will site just two well documented instances of white on white violence. The first should be obvious Nazis and Jews. Violence not based on the color of ones skin. Enough said. The next example, have you heard of a little book called the Malice Maleficarum. Commonly known as The Witches Hammer. With this book the Catholic church drowned, hung, racked, flayed, stoned, pressed, and screwed women and men. No not that kind of screwed. The kind of screwed where someone puts your fingers in a vice and starts turning. They even made new forms of torture. Look up the Pear of Anguish.
All this boils down to our ancestors, all of our ancestors were brutal. They did terrible things. Or had terrible things done to them. But we are not them. We do not have to live out the injustices of our past.
The OP was saying all whites should be made slaves. I believe slavery is wrong. Which is why I don't eat shrimp any more. Because of the slave labor in Thailand.
Applying biblical justice on the descendants of you ancestors oppressor is not going to make anything better.
Oh and by the way what the OP said was extremely racist. Swap out the word white with black and post that. Wait and see the kinds of hate you will get.
IIN I think white people should be slaves of black people?
