Slavery wasn't that bad?

[Gorgodeus]

Where did he say slavery wasn't that bad? He pointed out it wasn't all built by slaves, and that they weren't miss treated.

A slave, by it's very definition, is mistreatment.

Right fucking there. You cannot have slavery without mistreatment.

That's a given, we're talking about the difference treatments of a slave. Being one is never good, everyone knows that.

See my reply. I forget I am dealing with people who take things so literal.

Slavery in some ancient cultures was very charitable and was an effective preventer of homelessness.

Yeah, and in others gave birth to religion, because the mortal world gave so little hope. It's pretty sad when people who claim to be the loudest proponents of freedom, would also argue that slavery wasn't bad.

[Hammerfest]

It's not like we aren't slaves right now anyways

True that.

Thanks for your stellar input, as always, Felya.

that has always been the problem of groups/civilizations/religion/athist/eco-nuts/global warming/far left and right wing politics.........

usually with a battle cry or catch phrase!



some people take things to literal and go on a crusade to purge the non-believers because how could you believe anything else but what they believe!


*we do it all the time in WoW but we do it for the fun, and as always a select few take it to seriously*

[Aeula]

To be fair it wasn't that bad. If the slave was lucky enough to have a master that treated them well they probably had a better life than your average pauper at the time. But no doubt many of them had it shit, depending on what their assigned task entailed.

[Felya]

True that.

I'm not a slave... Might want to check your life style...

Thanks for your stellar input, as always, Felya.

No problem... You deserve a lot of credit... Without your horrible misinformation, my stellar input wouldn't be possible...

This is that "out of touch" bit everyone is talking about. Men like him and Trump are the type to say "I'm not racist" then say some racist shit in the same breath. It's like they don't know what actual racism is, they think it's some black and white concept that they are taking no part in. And I get that, they're so out of touch they have no idea that racism goes beyond just putting on a hood and despising minorities.


This thread is astounding. "Well, TEHCNICALLY slaveries izshint dat bad becawse slaves were shometimez...." NO. NO, YOU FUCKS. SLAVERY IS BAD. THERE ISN'T MORE TO THE SENTENCE.

[Felya]

See my reply. I forget I am dealing with people who take things so literal.

Yes, it's horrible that people take your comments litteraly, instead of placing their own bias on them. I don't understand how what he bolded was an allegory, to not be taken litteraly...

[Arthas242]

also slavery was better for the blacks then what they have today in some aspects.....*NOTE I AM NOT SAYING SLAVERY WAS GOOD*

people love to go on about how families were torn apart as slaves...... but black children today are less likely to grow up with 2 parents today then as slaves....... soo yeah..... very bad

Not really, at least doesn't seem like it by this thread. Instead, it's just people being spoiled. We have someone diddling on a gaming forum, complaining about being a slave. The word simply has lost all meaning... Slavery now means the same as an emo kid complaining that society keeps them down. //

I don't get why Orielly would even care about the comment that it was built by slaves, its not like the FLOTUS made any judgements or stated any opinions that even implied that slaves were treated poorly. As someone who has a low opinion of her in the first place, I don't even see any value to this criticism.

Yes, they with their parents, who had no freedom to raise their children as anything, but slaves. I'm sure if people lost their freedom, to be confined to their owners whimsy, all of the problems related to making the wrong choice would be eliminated as well.

Yeah, I'm not saying driving is bad, but if everyone lost their freedom to drive, there would be no car accidents.

[Zolaris193]

Really? What did the Democrats say this time?

Well aside from Michelle's race baiting speech

Their leaked emails state that Hispanics are loyal to a brand and if you win one you win their whole family

As well as one that mocks an African american woman's name

What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man. Sadly we are not really free but you can be if you wish but this is a hard way. Slavery was and is there since ever they call it freedoom today (modern slavery)just manipulate the peopel and give them a littel to believe they can do whatever they want even if......

What did you learn that from some Marxist professor cause I have heard some of my professors push the same bullshit

That "the American Dream" is a form of mind control

They tend to break it down into the same message "work really hard and one day you will get ahead"

Instead they call bs on the American Dream and advocate crying as a group for socialism

A lot of higher learning institutions are pushing a lot of garbage these days

[Adam Jensen]

Asian women should probably just not drive, am I right?

No. What I'm saying is, if you have an unwanted image of being a racist, don't say things that can be taken as racist.

[Revi]

That might all be true, but what an idiotic thing to bring up in that context.

[DarkTZeratul]

He even said she was right...

"So, Michelle Obama is essentially correct in citing slaves as builders of the White House, but there were others working as well."

[Healing Rain]

Slavery was outlawed 150 years ago. It's time to move on or this country will be torn apart.

[Kazgrel]

Now I'm waiting for Bill to come out and tell us all about how he treats his slaves he keeps in his basement/dungeon.
