The History of Racism
- Thread starter Okem
- Start date
In the last 10,000 years Caucasions have been submitted to all of the same atrocities that any other race has,
It is amazing that you come up with these things. The truely amazing thing is it doesn't matter if someone were to point out how patently false this statement is. You would continue to argue that it was true. Then you would argue that it was your opinion and all opinion are equal. Then you would argue that people are driving anyone who doesn't think like them off the strut.
Thanks....I think you're amazing too.
No caucasions have ever been enslaved
No caucasions have ever been victims of genocide
No caucasions have ever been wiped out because of their religious beliefs.
No caucasions have ever been killed by disease, pestilance or natural disaster
No caucasions have ever been tortured
No caucasions have even been unduly imprisoned
Can you think of an atrocity I left out???
I forgot the sarcastic response. That argues that because Whites have been endentured servants it is equal to the African slave trade.
Next up. I didn't say it was equal. My next response, what's the difference between saying it is the same and saying it is equal. Ok, we skipped that one, whats next now?
I didn't say it was equal, Pre-American Slavery was WORSE in many ways ranging from 20% of the Roman Empire/Republic being slaves to the Ottoman empire castrating their male slaves, making sex slaves of their female slaves and their entire army was made up of Christian-Born slaves from the Balkans.
Next comes a couple of snide remarks from you....probably none of which are factual or disputing my original claim that white people have been victims of every atrocity known to man.
Possibly some claim that because it happened more than 400 years ago it's not as important, or that the aggressors themselves were also white marginalizing the victims.
I don't see any reason to get into a pissing match as to what tragedy was worse, just acknowledge that these atrocities are not unique to America, nor non-white victims.

And Hiroshima and Nagasaki were just collateral damage?
Q: can white people be victims of collateral damage or is it always an atrocity when they are killed?
No you said it was "the same". See above and read your original quote.
If you want to say I mispoke, I was mistaken, I was wrong, nothing wrong with that I wont think you are less of a man. But please don't claim that you didn't say what you said.
Thank God americans didn't use African slaves as sex slaves. African slave trade was far worse than Ottoman and Roman slavery. There was no concept of a race of slaves under those systems. Slaves could buy their freedom or marry out. Not something allowed in the American industrial agricultral form of slavery.
No your original claim was and I quote: "In the last 10,000 years Caucasions have been submitted to all of the same atrocities that any other race has". This claim suggest the same level of suffering. The Jews and the Africans have been subjected to far worse atrocities than Europeans.
If you would like to change your claim to "white people have been victims of every atrocity known to man but not on the scale or to the degree that they have inflicted on others", fine. I'll accept that. But since that is not what you claimed please don't say that it is.
Sorry, I will not admitt that the African slave trade or the Holucost is equal to Ottoman slavery or the French revolution. People who believe they are equal are known as racist. Not that I think you are.
Define:
Black = africa
White = european
Red = native american/innuit
Brown = latin/south american indian/mideast
Yellow = far east
Purple = planet Zektar
but seriously
Main Entry: Cau??ca??sian
Pronunciation: 'ko-'kA-zh&n, -'kazh-&n
1 : of or relating to the white race of humankind as classified according to physical features
2 : of or relating to the white race as defined by law specifically as composed of persons of European, No. African, or southwest Asian ancestry ???Caucasian noun
So someone managed to find a semantic difference between Caucasion and White.
I'm impressed.
