American racists, do you feel jealousy about UK racists?

Firstly I have to say racism is very bad and there is no excuse for it and you should all just stop it. But in America it is different to Britain.

In America a bunch of people who were in Africa who were minding their own business were kidnapped and relocated against their will and forced to work crap jobs in farms. They weren't invited. I know about this stuff because I have a friend who's in uni.

In the UK the situation was different.

Like I said, they are both wrong, all racism is wrong but American racists have to acknowledge that they kidnapped a bunch of people and then when slavery ended, ONLY THE SLAVE OWNERS GOT Reparations (my friend told me).

It's very shameful

Your information is incomplete at best but your post makes a fabulous brown paint stick. I suspect that is its true purpose anyway😉

@SlaveEt maybe those spouting racist the loudest should look in the mirror.
Racist is the argument of the intellectually void

@Patriot96
The term "racist" and "racism" have been so over used as to lose their impact, their usefulness, their very meaning.

There was a time when these terms were reserved for acts, beliefs and statements that met the definition. These days it has become nothing more than a childish slap at those who do, say or believe differently than what the far left and the woke deem acceptable and in vogue. This behavior is despicable and minimizes and belittles true acts of racism.
The first slave owner in America was black..
and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t white ppl selling black ppl to America..

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout if that's true, that's really bad. But you didn't even try to answer my question. An American racist has to admit that black people were kidnapped and then when slavery ended, they didn't get nice houses as a way of saying sorry. But in Britain it's not like that. So wouldn't you prefer to be a UK racist instead of a USA racist?
Wtf is your point? Besides starting drama.

Yes they were kidnapped by their own people then sold to Portuguese slave traders then shipped to british colonies

@LordShadowfire my ancestors will still in Ireland being subjugated by the British. We didnt own slaves.
My great great grandfather landed in ny. They handed him a uniform and a musket then marched south.

Correct. Their dominant tribesmen, as well as fellow tribesmen, hunted them and brought them to the ports to board Western ships whose crew avoided the jungle entirely due to rampant disease and sickness. Their own people sold them out.

Just wait for the uninformed guys bleating that black people sold slaves, and what about the Romans...?
Oops, too late.....

@specman see, you're just displaying your ignorance.

Here's a simple question: are you familiar with the Enlightenment and what relevance the subject has to the history of slavery? If you don't, then it's pointless me discussing the topic with someone who lacks even a basic understanding of context.

@Richard65 are you denying what is in my last comment?

The slaves weren't kidnapped. They were sold by Africans to Europeans and Americans as indentured servants. Years later, American courts allowed people to just not free their indentured servants, thus creating slavery in America.

YOU are the only racist hete. So answer your own question
So now you are feeling better about being part of supposedly less cruel racists?

American racists must be really old.
And let's be honest, slavery didn't really end after 1865. It just became slavery with extra steps. That's why privately owned for-profit prisons exist, and why they are considered evil.
@specman The only way to ultimately stop Russia is to stop Putin. As in a bullet through his damn head. The way the Russian government is set up, he can force innocent Russian civilians to go to the front lines of fight his battles for him, and he's made it very clear that he gives no fucks about the amount of casualties his side suffers. We get in, we kill him, maybe shoot a couple of his top generals for good measure, and the rest of them are so scared they withdraw troops.

As for the practicality of that solution, I have no clue.

@LordShadowfire yeah it seems like we could do it though
@specman I feel like we have enough undercover people and drone pilots that we could probably assassinate Big Daddy Vladi without too much trouble. That's how you take out a monster like Russia. You decapitate it.

What about the Romans, Germans and Vikings, they should apologise for everything they got up to on the British Isles too.
All racism is bad, but preaching at foreigners over their domestic issues is a bit off centre as well
