Race

[Tapate50]

There is an actual racism problem in this country but not the one that the communists are always screaming about

Buy everyone swimming pools ?

They really do think black people are helpless retarded, don't they?

Its a corrollary of their theory that black people can't get ID's or find polling stations.

Just more of the same racism that we see on the left.

Young black people (especially men) are starting to recognize this. Sadly, black people over the age of 50 are too brainwashed that they haven't moved the needle. Moving forward though, a much larger percnetage of the black vote is up for grabs than people realize.

The demand is more than the supply, as usual. See Willis, Fani

It's not a conspiracy theory. No one questions it. The only real debate is when and/or if it ever stopped.

I question it

You think segregation is a conspiracy theory in the minds of black people?

And redlining?

[cajunrevenge]

Then you need to pick up a history book and look into US history. Surely you would agree the deck was stacked against black people pre civil war. And you think private slave ownership was ended and there was no stacking the deck against black people using the government post civil war?

That’s a long way from big businesses conspiring to market luxury goods to black people in order to keep them in debt

[cajunrevenge]

Yes, that one is ridiculous. As are a few others.

Now do the rest of the world

For instance -

Japan had an official slave system from the Yamato period (3rd century A.D.) until Toyotomi Hideyoshi abolished it in 1590. Afterwards, the Japanese government facilitated the use of "comfort women" as sex slaves from 1932 to 1945. Prisoners of war captured by Japanese imperial forces were also used as slaves during the same period.

I know other countries had slavery, but this is a really weird example to use when it ended in the 16th century and only came back during the period where Japan was actively aligned with Nazis.

So there are times when it’s ok?

I’m guessing it was going on as late as 1930 in a lot of places and today in China.

He lives in Japan and though an advertisement from 1848 was something worth posting

Of course there’s never a time that slavery is ok and I think that’s a really lazy interpretation of my point. But if you’re going to use the sins of other countries to excuse our past atrocities, I think there are perhaps better examples than regimes explicitly known for their horrifying human rights violations or ones that banned slavery 200 years before ours existed.

America was absolutely late to the party for the modern shift away from slave labor. It doesn’t make our slavery any worse, but it does still have an impact today due to the inherent disadvantages that come from not having the ability to build wealth and capital across generations.

Slavery is still taking place today, throughout Africa. How do you think we should stop it?

It is not possible to stop all evil in the world. But I'm pretty sure if our Navy comes across a cargo ship full of slaves it would force that ship to free its cargo at the nearest port. Unfortunately, in places other than the high seas we lack jurisdiction. But we obviously can and do use other tools (both sticks and carrots) to discourage those practices. Maybe we can do more. But generally this country is a force for good, including a force against the slavery that as you point out still exists in certain parts of the world.

Yes, I live in Japan and Japan surely did practice forced slavery in China and other places during their imperialistic phase of the 1930s and 40s. But I wonder why is a piece of history from 1948 about RACE not worth posting???? And who cares what other countries do? America, the land of the FREE is supposed to be better than that. Yes, there is a lot of hypocrisy and other bad things in the world. That advertisement I posted was probably fake, as the dates and font don't seem to be authentic. I was sure someone would point that but no one did.

Here are a few that are authentic:





I've looked a lot of these old advertisements. I find it interesting how they often advertise the slaves as being "great" cooks, house workers, field hands, and hunters, while at the same time slavery proponents claimed the darker races as being sub-human and below White people. Sub-human but yet they still made great cooks and hunters. A 17 year old girl who is sub-human but already and "excellent" seamstress. Interesting.

I guess this is the kind of thing that some people don't want talked about in schools.
