but nobody wants to talk about that

2021-01-11 17:51:28 UTC  

he isn't wrong but it comes down to poor policy on why countries are poor

2021-01-11 17:51:42 UTC  

also black immigrants aren't the same as decendants of slaves

2021-01-11 17:52:13 UTC  

also barock obama wasn't "up there"

2021-01-11 17:52:55 UTC  

another thing is that child birth is something you chose, not forced (except rape but that's rare as hell)

2021-01-11 17:52:57 UTC  

cuz history is being rewritten

2021-01-11 17:53:09 UTC  

sadly

2021-01-11 17:53:15 UTC  

I think comparing peoples suffering as an “I had it worse” type thing is not productive

2021-01-11 17:53:24 UTC  

^

2021-01-11 17:53:26 UTC  

Because in that way someone will always have it worse

2021-01-11 17:53:45 UTC  

So to say black people had it the worst does not promote anything but a closed off conversation

2021-01-11 17:53:57 UTC  

remember the saying "there's always someone worse than you" you definetly not one of them

2021-01-11 17:54:19 UTC  

Race is your skin tone

2021-01-11 17:54:39 UTC  

also I don't think blacks were passed around in asia and south america

2021-01-11 17:54:39 UTC  

If people made up sciences to confirm that they’re better just because they have a different skin tone, then they’re big time loser.

2021-01-11 17:55:23 UTC  

also what is he gonna say when an asian says that? he can't say asians don't understand cause of the mongol or japanese (don't say "because they were the same race" argument)

2021-01-11 17:55:42 UTC  

Asians are either a minority or whites

2021-01-11 17:55:46 UTC  

oh people who use skin color to prove suporiority is just fragile

2021-01-11 17:55:47 UTC  

Depending on how successful they are

2021-01-11 17:56:40 UTC  

also there's also slaves from war or kidnapping. granted you chose to be in the army and had a chance of being a slave it wasn't based off poverty

2021-01-11 17:57:49 UTC  

looking for a quote from here, but this was super helpful

2021-01-11 17:57:55 UTC  

well worth a listen

2021-01-11 17:58:04 UTC  

he isn't wrong about africa being rich in resources but it's the leaders who chose to be corrupt not white people

2021-01-11 17:59:12 UTC  

When we speak about Africa, I actually agree with the slavery argument

2021-01-11 17:59:17 UTC  

like look at the leader of zimbawae in 2008. he wanted to prove he can survive without white people and guess what happened? they didn't know how to opperate and caused inflation

2021-01-11 17:59:30 UTC  

the number of whites in africa who were enslaved by the barberry pirates, exceeded the number of africans enslaved in the united states and in the american colonies before that

2021-01-11 17:59:34 UTC  

Nobody taught them.

2021-01-11 17:59:34 UTC  

that struck me

2021-01-11 17:59:37 UTC  

nobody mentions it

2021-01-11 18:00:51 UTC  

I understand that the argument is about american history but it doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about other races

2021-01-11 18:01:04 UTC  

also a book talked about those people "not being picky with race unlike white people" lmao

2021-01-11 18:01:14 UTC  

one cannot talk about american history without talking about other countries

2021-01-11 18:01:23 UTC  

after all we were the melting pot

2021-01-11 18:01:34 UTC  

and we are involved almost everywhere, not in isolation

2021-01-11 18:02:32 UTC  

so is he saying old people are brainwashed to be racist?

2021-01-11 18:03:00 UTC  

most old people lived to see martin luther king jr and saw the civil rights movement

2021-01-11 18:03:11 UTC  

and if they didn't witniss them, blacks and whites had equal rights

2021-01-11 18:04:03 UTC  

they did know better

2021-01-11 18:04:13 UTC  

that's why the movements became so groundbreaking

2021-01-11 18:04:14 UTC  

so they chose to be racist
