TIL that racism and discrimination stopped when slavery stopped.


Love how that guy is always going on about how there is no racism anymore and then constantly makes the most racist posts himself :rofl:

Or that red-lining no longer exists on paper but the effects were so profound that it doesn't need to. It still exists they just stopped having to enforce it with maps.

Ok well thanks for your input despite the lack of relevance.

Anyone can defend this I'm waiting.


People can argue for anything man. Watch.

No minimum wage will work if people don't take jobs for less pay. The end

Reminder: the United States set out to abolish slavery sooner than 100 years of it’s inception and fought an incredibly bloody war among its own people to see it through. One could argue as soon as we could focus on domestic issues, this was easily one of the first and most important.

To put it in perspective, can anybody name a single example of holding the UK responsible for any action against US citizens today?

Of corse not, because that is an irrational stance to take, much like saying we held slaves at one point, so we can never be forgiven as Americans and must continue to pay for what happened many generations ago.

But it serves a political purpose to label people as victims, so there will continue to be ignorant people who somehow think it is relevant to bring up when they find it advantageous.


why would we hold the UK responsible? they lost the greatest treasure trove of untapped natural resources the world had ever seen and lost out on control of the world's largest super power. what would we even ask for?

... Words I have never used. Nice projection, you are fishing for any confirmation bias desperately. You acting like a baby and the world is against you.
You just don't how good you have it now but you are choosing to be a little bitch every time.

Racism exists and will exist for as long as humans have bias. It's simply another word for dislike or discrimination against someone who looks different then you.
This century it's a minor inconvenience at worst, you need to be made out of toilet paper to be affected by it. There is discrimination that is still happening way more severe then race like, financial, government over reach and communism or North Korean dictators running around literally killing thousands of people every day, or kids that go hungry because douchebag parents are having 20 at a time without a means of supporting them... etc.

I don't think you know what actual oppression/discrimination looks like.

I've been called a name waaaaa waaaaa, an officer stopped me instead of that white guy to check my licence and registration now I lost 10mins of my life waaaa waaaa

That is my point. We wouldn’t, and don’t. Although they were oppressing Americans and fought two wars against us for control over our lives.

That's not a system that's just one home appraiser giving his opinion who happened to be racist nice try.

Also there are plenty of examples where home appraisers under or over value something that have nothing to do with race. waaaaaa waaa
