Should we legalize slavery as long as it is only white slavery?

At some point in history and still ongoing in some parts of the world, nearly every ethnic group (or if you want to be anthropologically dense, every "color"😉 has either been enslaved or enslaved someone else. It should not be forgotten or taken lightly. However, at the same time it shouldn't be used as a blank check to avenge one's self or one's ancestors and create more injustice, discrimination, or violence.

You know, a lot of people advocate MLK Jr. for his wisdom, but hardly anyone takes note:

@Stealth Moose Good quote

people seem to be taking my last comment semi-seriously.

Typical day in Compton.

Them being black should have nothing to do with it. The act of violence should be the main focus.

You are right. I apoligize for that.

Excuse me? Who are you? I said and admitted that I let this video get to me and overreacted. I guess I should have given it a thumbs up.

Because it's the truth. Given, majority crime against black people are done by black people anyway, however, should white people attack black people for any reason, the reason immediately becomes invalid and the attack is racial. When it is the other way around, then all sorts of motives behind black attacking white are considered. This is just the reality in the US.

I agree with this statement.

I don't know if anyone here know's of a guy named Tommy Sotomayor. He has A LOT of video's posted on youtube, and has his own site. A lot of his criticism, is on the black community and he is black. He posted his reaction on this video.

Feel free to put forward examples where the black attackers on white victims has been labelled and understood as racially motivated. Almost every crime involving a white attacker on black is labelled racist.

Do provide us with news articles where black assailant has harmed a white person and racial prejudice has been brought into question.

Black people get charged with hate crimes too. Marten even made the standard "But I'm not racist" remarks like everyone else.

I posted that on the Nov 25th and you didn't reply until Dec 1st.

There is no excuse for you, and who I am is none of your business.

I am so angry just while typing this, that my blood pressure is way up. Don't know if anyone has seen it, but my friend sent me a link of this savage attack of a helpless pregnant white woman by these ghetto black women.

From what I have read plus my friend stated, the woman had hit one of the women with a lock or something, plus it appears she had slept with the boyfriend of one of them. Even so this attack was savage. They even swiped her shoes for f**ks sake!!! and she is f**king pregnant.

I hate ghetto hood rats with a passion. I have said yes I am mixed, but this shyt by these ghetto black women give me and any other person who is mixed or black a horrible name. Notice the beastly overweight tranny in the video. Shyt like this makes me want to kill somebody. Just see and judge for yourselfs.

you found three cases. which are years apart and geographically in different areas.
lol, this proves how rare it is.
also, in each of these cases it was such an obvious hate crime...the assailants admitted it or were witnessed spewing racial slurs.

that's the difference.
like the George Zimmerman case, any white on black crime will be looked through the race lens even without any evidence of it. how fair is that?

In simple terms, there is a historical context in which these things occur. It's quite understandable that people would wonder "hmm...was this a racist occurrence?" considering our(American) history is so full of them.

As already mentioned, this isn't racial prejudice being brought into question, this is them admitting to racial prejudice.

One guy yelled he was going to punch the first white man he saw. He actually announced to the world what he'll do. The other guy admitted he went to harm someone of different colour because he was upset about a court case in Florida.

That's clearly not what was implied not does it prove a point.

Secondly, this whole 'our American history' reeks of American exceptionalism. We're all oversaturated with Americans telling us how much of an exception their slaves were. Considering that only around 5% of African slaves were sent to North America, nobody gives a rat's ass about what happened to the other 95% who ended up in South and Central America and West Indies, about their plight, horrible treatment nor their conditions today.

Clearly, they need more advocate rights groups and Oscar and Emmy winning movies made about them.

But good points.

Speaking purely about films/books/TV shows about slavery in America, there is something inherently interesting and unique, from a narrative standpoint, about America's history of slavery compared to others. And that is that America was a country explicitly founded on the principals of freedom and liberty and inalienable rights, and while preaching these ideals to the world we were stripping them away from an entire group of people. That innate hypocrisy makes for potentially very thematically interesting and rich narratives, which I believe is why there are so many films/etc about American slavery as opposed slavery in other lands. That, and of course most of them are made specifically for American audiences.

But even then, it took until this year and 12 Years a Slave to have a genuinely great film that's really, truly about slavery. One of the things makes that film so great is that it doesn't try to say "Look how horrible American slavery was", it says "look how horrible slavery is" and simply uses American slavery as an avenue to explore themes and ideas that are universal to all forms of slavery - which is something that's never been done before, here.

Everyone should go see 12 Years a Slave, is what I'm getting at.
