the way nonblack people have ignored that black people don’t like being to as “blacks” is gross

it doesn’t even sound right. it’s as if you don’t want to refer to black people as PEOPLE so you’re gonna call them a “black.”

@LookingForTheSummer lmao okay then imma assume this post applies to you. have some decency and stop calling black PEOPLE a “black.” it doesn’t make sense and you strain away from calling them people. :))

@SW-User I don't call anyone like that. It's funny how you jump to the conclusion.
I am just talking about double standards here. Nobody says anything when we are called white, white boy, or pale. Lol
It seems being white is a crime these days.

@LookingForTheSummer Ah yes, the terrible oppression of white men - the slavery, the genocide, the Jim Crow laws against whites...oh wait, none of that happened. You're just mad someone said speak to black people as if they're human and your feefees got hurt.

@basilfawlty89 Who knows, maybe my ancestors were slaves as well. You know there were white slaves as well, right?

@LookingForTheSummer the system of slavery practiced against African Americans was far different and far more brutal than traditional slavery was. You can't really compare the plantation system with slavery of old. People weren't enslaved by race, had zero rights and could be killed without impunity. There were laws in historic slavery that required at least some fair treatment of slaves.

You can't compare what for example Slavs faced in Europe as slaves to the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

@basilfawlty89 It is shocking how they have brainwashed you and people like you to make you still think about the slavery that belongs to the past, and completely forget about modern slavery and be unable to see what is happening in your lives or in front of you.
For instance, Those Nike and Apple products you have are all made by using child labor in China. On the other hand, Nike is supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. You are all so brainwashed and distracted that you cannot see the real issues today.

@LookingForTheSummer that's awesome, Alex Jones. But the small problem is that I'm against capitalism and think it's unethical in the first place - actually, people like me are the ones responsible for stopping child labour in the US and Europe, trade unionists are responsible for stopping child labour and starting the eight hour work day.

The other fun thing is that I don't own any Apple or Nike products.

Now I know you think because some corporate entity supported Black Lives Matter that it's a stain on BLM, but it isn't. Corporations will pander. It doesn't change the fact that police brutality against black people is a very real fact.
