  1. I agree! And think, slavery still remains in many parts of Africa despite the westerners trying to stop it!

  2. Which cultures were more civilized than said Europeans at the time?

  3. You think that's bad? You should see Africa in the same time period, or even much of Africa today, in fact. Thankfully the white man modernized and civilized most of the world.

  4. None of them experienced it or know the people who did it. Racism does still exist, obviously. Humans will never get rid of racism entirely. In fact, black Americans are the most racist group in American, empirically — while whites are among the least.

  5.  Complex Ez  No, I'm certainly not "shiting" you. Black Americans are routinely and objectively the most racist group, empirically. There is by no stretch of the imagination, using any criteria, even somewhat of an epidemic of anti-black hangings. Feel free to compile a list of 100 solely racist hangings in the past year, though.

  6. Who cares? lol

  7.  @openEyes60  Give some examples of how the "system" is racist today.

  8. Yeah, I'm sure you wouldn't want to get into the history of Africans or the Bantu... White people, European history is incredible! Nothing at all to feel guilty about, and nothing previous Europeans did was unique to Europeans.

  9. You should see Africa in the same time period. Or Africa today, in fact. Last I heard, the Pygmies are still to this day treated terribly by other Africans. Also, don't dwarfs still get killed in Africa for spiritual reasons? I just watched a video of a dwarf getting lynched in a village not too long ago.

  10. Stupid, right? If they think this is bad, they should see how Africans were living in the same time period...

  11.  @whyyousmilingwhenyournexth4047  No. Also, I don't think it's bad.

  12.  @whyyousmilingwhenyournexth4047  I don't know what you're saying. I'll give you the benefit of doubt and assume that English isn't your first language.

  13. Exactly! In Africa, for instance, they didn't have the capacity to have such zoos, they would simply experiment and sacrifice them without much need for a traditional zoo!

  14.  @dannyecorprew26  Not evidently so.

  15.  @zeroone2299  99% of countries today have had historical invasions and "stolen land", just look at Africa and the Bantu, for instance. That's not meaningful criticism.

  16. Especially interesting statement considering much of the world was behind said white people in most all aspects. You should see Africa in the same time period, or even much of Africa today, in fact.

  17. No, it's not unique to Europeans by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, it was solely the Europeans who put an end to things like slavery globally, even despite many Africans being upset by this... such as Tinubu, a powerful slave trader in 19th century Nigeria. She even attempted to subvert a British anti-slavery treaty and, after a slave trade went wrong, said she "would rather drown the slaves than sell them at a discount.". I'm sure I don't even need to mention how brutal and savage the Native Americans were or their repeated, rocky history of betrayal and so forth. Acting like they were pillars of kindness or non-genocidal is irrespective of their entire history. Let's not forget the Bantu — which, when introduced to crop farming and iron age technology (which made conquest and supremacy possible), led to one of the largest human conquests in history! Or the Asante, and so forth.

  18. Hopefully!

  19. You think that's bad? You should look at Africa in the same time period. Or, in fact, Africa today. They are much worse.

  20.  @GoblinGuard  Is he wrong?

  21. Who cares? lol

  22. Correct, they don't.

  23. ​ @SocketSilver  You already have respect. Hell, the main way whites feel good about themselves today is by priding themselves of how non-racist and pro-black they are. You already have equal rights. Stop committing so many crimes and you won't get profiled. Pattern recognition is human nature. It's not our responsibility to give you money for your failures. Also, I don't think more school funding will help their scores much. Do you want me to make a list of how black people need to do better?

  24.  @SocketSilver  > "police regularly stop minorities because of their color.." First off, they don't just stop "minorities". Asians, for example, don't have any problems with police. Secondly, they don't stop someone simply because of their color. They stop crime-prone groups. > "we have a president that craps on minorities." President Trump has spent more time boasting about minority unemployment rates (&c.) than he has about his own voting base (white people). I'm not convinced. > "I would love not to talk about racism. If you never been discriminated against because of your skin color then you will never know what I’m talking about." I agree! I'm white and have been discriminated against many times. Not all too surprising though, given that black Americans tend to be the most racist group, empirically. > "not acknowledging the systematic hate that continues to this day" You haven't given any examples of systematic hate, how are we supposed to acknowledge it?

  25. White people are ahead of every other group, besides NE Asians, in basically every aspect. Whites are also the least racist, ethnocentric, racially-driven (&c.) group, whereas blacks are the most. Whites don't have much to figure out.

  26. No, blacks still haven't caught up to the whites yet.

  27. You realize how most of the world was much worse than that in that time period, right? Do you think everyone basically prior to 1965 is a sociopath?

  28. No, he means a Pygmy.

  29. You think that's bad? You should see Africa in the same time period, or even much of Africa today, in fact. Despite the white mans best attempt at stopping slavery globally, many Africans weren't too fond of this idea.

  30. Especially interesting considering whites were superior in nearly every aspect than the rest of the world. You should see Africa in the same time period, or even much of Africa today, in fact.

  31. Westerners may have figured it out long ago, the rest of the world is lagging a bit behind.

  32. So..?
