@lucien927 That is not an argument at all, they are all part of the world as well. Sorry to wake you up but racism and slavery have been around since the beginning of time. The OG trade was between the horn of Africa and the ME and the majority of the OG slaves were Slavs...the rootword of the word "slave". Slav's were white tribes from the north and easy to conquer by the more advanced races. The trade we are all "familiar" with is not so well known, most don't know that 90% of slaves were bought AT MARKET via African slave traders. They also don't know that the Middle East slave trade was still going on probably because there are no descendants because they were all castrated. Flash forward to today, the trade is still going on but consists primarily of young children harvested for organs or for sex. But if you like chocolate and coffee, you can be sure at some point you have supported forced labor in 3rd world countries. People are the problem and if you knew anything about history it is not a white or capitalist thing.

@George's Tesseract I agree that there are power hungry individuals but seriously go and travel and you will see that this is not a white thing and exists everywhere. You argue from a limited perspective, go to India and tell me there is no racism or corruption, or China, or Africa. Watch some Bollywood films, are there many white? Chinese films or media? Time to expand your horizons.

@George's Tesseract Your entire first statement was about Cis white men and how they form the power base. The problem is people, not capitalism or communism. People are the problem because corruption does not come in a single color or ideology. Communism looks great on paper but the problem is who will be implementing the plan. These things are tools, just like a gun. In good hands, there is no problem. Corruption existed before capitalism and communism and is the downfall of both.
