  1.  @tankhamster-u9l  "diverse" Why is it always "blame the minorities" with American conservatives?

  2.  @iampmrnb  Some don't. You could also just tape the safety back.

  4. 1. While the percentage of people who owned slaves was low, literally the top 2% of the population, the number of slaves those people owned made them a much larger proportion of the population than the ownership rate. 2. Yes, Africans were sold into slavery by other Africans, to white Europeans, who then sailed to America to sell those slaves to other white people. 3. Except the Civil War didn't end slavery, it just changed the criteria it could be used. We also had about 100 years of voting inequality and segregation after the Civil War so that's hardly an argument. 4. Actually it's because they could beat the hell out of them and treat them like garbage legally. It's much cheaper to keep people when they don't need clothing or beds. 5. Which countries were these white people enslaved in? Where were they taken? How does this in any way effect the US? We talk about the African slave trade because it directly effects our country, even today. 6. We aren't all slaves today. Comparing US prisons and pre-Civil War slavery to everyday life right now is just downright shameful. 7. Yes, some farmers who owned slaves were black. They were however incredibly rare. 8. Crime rates tend to be higher in poorer communities, which makes sense as black communities were segregated and given zero economic assistance for decades. The long-term effects of these choices are still incredibly apparent today, with neighborhoods still showing strong racial segregation.

  5. His "answer" was to talk over Hassan with irrelevant nonsense and strawmen.

  6.  @destroymarxism2.0  You're just describing Charlie. You're obviously just bias.

  7.  @destroymarxism2.0  Yes, we're both describing Charlie. Glad we agree.

  8.  @josephinacotto  God flooded the entire planet, melted entire cities and allowed his people to murder entire tribes, only leaving the unmarried girls to keep as brides. Hard to see a right way to use the Bible given the context.

  9. Have you ever considered that's because they enslaved millions of them? I mean, you're trying to argue the US isn't racist because it now accepts the decedents of the millions of slaves they bought.

  10. Hard to call it cancel culture when nobody is actually being cancelled. For that you would actually need the specific Walgreens store.

  11.  @destroymarxism2.0  Preventable diseases and malnutrition deaths due to society failing to provide for people is a perfect example of capitalism killing people. Millions die this way annually.

  12.  @chrisisaacs601  Someone sounds salty. I'm take you seriously if you had actually watched the debate.
