It's always been ok to be white. It hasn't always been ok to be black.

@MsMarvel Tell that to the Irish

@Firespirit that was because they were Irish. Not skin color. Big difference.

@Firespirit Treatment of the irish and of blacks differed greatly. But yes, white protestants greatly hated the irish because of their religion mostly.

@MsMarvel It did not matter to the British who enslaves quite a large number of them and used them for slave labor.

@Firespirit wasn't about color. Guess again
Firespirit · 26-30, M
@MsMarvel You needed slaves thru history for large empires.
MsMarvel · 41-45, F
@Firespirit needed? No, not needed it's the way it happened. But not needed
Firespirit · 26-30, M
@MsMarvel If it was not needed then why did every great empire have slaves ?
MsMarvel · 41-45, F
@Firespirit just because it happened doesn't mean it was needed.
Firespirit · 26-30, M
@MsMarvel Since everything was done with manual labor for thousands of years and the only 1% held power and wealth. How else does one get all that done if not by slave labor or at least a very poor class of people who are basically slaves
MsMarvel · 41-45, F
@Firespirit everyone pitching in.

@MsMarvel and what incentive would you offer such people? and what if someone has lots of wealth but does not want help? are you gonna force them to help? and if someone was very lazy should he not receive anything. You have a very underrated view of humanity
