White supremacy is fabricating history, AGAIN. (Picture inside)

[Deleted]

Did you just compare slavery to the holocaust? Don't compare them.

The holocaust lasted 4 years while slavery lasted for well over 200 years at least in the US FYI

We dick swinging now? My people have been oppressed for at least 1000 years, what the fuck does it have to do with things happening today?

[primalmatter]

Since when were the slaves 'workers'? Since they are workers all of a sudden now why aren't the white western countries paying wages to the descendants of these 'workers'.

Does anyone see the irony that white people are the ones who ended slavery for most of the world but they are the ones mostly blamed for it?

[unfilteredJW]

Yep, we timetraveled to set the whole slavery thing in motion.

Holocaust was an attempted extinction of a specific group of people.

But it only lasted 4 years, so obviously not as bad.

If you have a relevant argument make it. If you want to shitpost, spare us.

Black People are just as guilty of Slavery as White People, yet only White People get shit for it.

Thought that was pretty obvious.

[Exiztence]

Outa curiosity, do you pals over pond learn in school that the Blacks that were transported to America were sold to slavery by other Blacks?

[RickJamesLich]

it's not about them not knowing that the workers were slaves it's about the book using language that erases a part of history because it's inconvenient for the (read: white ) people who wrote the book.

I disagree that taking out the gore and the graphic content of history is a good thing when all it does is rewrite history to make the slave owners less alarming and immoral

Who did it erase history for though? You? The slaves did in fact do labor, coupling that with the fact that nobody thinks "slaves had it easy", I don't see where you think this scenario of "history being changed" is taking place.

As for blood and gore being in history books, it's not going to happen lol. At least not for kids. For example, a book can discuss the terrorist attack on 9/11 in full context without having to go into details about people dying from smoke inhalation or jumping out of windows and splattering.

Yeah its a pretty blatant attempt at using friendlier language.

It literally says SLAVE TRADE at the top - even 6 year old is capable of that 'connection'

yeah but if we can't talk about slavery how else are minorities supposed to demand pity?

...are you trying to downplay the holocaust because of the time frame?

Are YOU serious right now?

[RickJamesLich]

On the other hand, you do have societies built on hundreds of years of unpaid labor and one can reasonably hold the position that maintaining that status is immoral.

Well the government came up with a solution to this, equal rights for everyone. Do you have a better solution?

They skip out the section of history known as the Triangle Trade, it gets in the way of there guilt fetish.

[Cerus]

Is not fabricating history, but calling slaves workers comes off as trying to make a dick move seem less shit.

Wtf else would you call them? Wage handicapped? Unpaid forced labor? Slaves worked - technically not unpaid since they were given food and shelter. But they were still workers.

Maybe they get blamed the most because they are the ones that benefited the most and are still benefiting today through the accumulation of generational wealth and systemic racism while the descendants of slaves are fighting over scraps.

[Zarc]

Wow. This was a truly weird post made by the OP. Somehow he made up some own definition of the word "worker" where a person can only be called a worker if he gets paid, as if that was the definition. And also he gets upset that in the sentence "The Atlantic Slave trade... brought millions of workers.." slaves are referred to as workers.

First I figured he was probably just trolling or something but then he goes on to defend his reaction. So weird. :/

[Jester Joe]

I mean really, "workers" is the nicest word they could possibly use there. If their language fails to differentiate between "all people who do work" and "people who were owned as property" here its probably bad wording. Grammatically correct? Yes, but that's not the sole test for good word usage, as this thread seems to think.

Sounds like it could easily be taken that it was changed to talk about slaves as humans, rather than just an object that was owned.

Success should be punished.

Nice ideology you've got there.

Oh, that is true, not disagreeing on that. But current society cannot be held fully responsible for the past, unless they redo it that is. Some foundations have also had a turn of story, becoming more for awareness than actual grim status.

[Herecius]

Good job folks, you've played into OP's wringing, diabolical hands and are now having a dick measuring contest to see who has the most oppressed history on page five of the thread.

Good job.

[Realsykes]

Generational wealth is significant? In today's world?

Kek.

I now know why NEETs call those working for a salary "wage slaves", working overtime for no compensation is worse than the holocaust because it is still happening today!
