re: Interesting facts about slavery I'll bet you didn't know.

So far right that you come out on the left side?

I think u miss the larger picture here. This game is continually played by the left and will continue. For decades conservatives have been doing exactly what you say, walk away, ignore and be quiet. Where has that gotten us? Did they stop or continue to push?

Now where are at a point where these race baiters and apologists control our educational system, media and soon maybe our government. Reparations are being pushed as a national platform and spewed from the lefts media mouthpieces. Hatred of white people transcends all media platforms and has become socially acceptable and fully without accountability. Will reparations be the end or simply another step?

Lots to address here. Give me a bit.

1. You should fight back. More importantly, you should form your own attacks don't let the other side set the conditions of the fight. I'll give you an example:

Instead of talking about how reparations are too complicated and would never work (ceding HUGE ground to their narrative), why don't you actually let them continue to talk about a total non starter political position? I personally welcome discussions about this. It would be incredible for us for the right wing to actually believe reparations were on the horizon. Reparations are an Effing gold mine.

Getting into arguments about who owned what slaves is great, internally, on the right, but it's terrible to engage the other side like this, because it's not a topic we can win.

2. "walking away" from the overall battle is not an option I condone. Walking away from certain defeat is. It's more important to not submit to their frame than to be factually correct. Even AOC understands this.

Sir, they already own all of this. In doctrinal terms, the right is in a full blown latent phase.

The Democrats and the left are making huge huge mistakes right now, but the right, the conservatives, aren't capitalizing. That's because they are one ignoring exactly what you pointed out. White people are being attacked relentlessly, and what are conservatives doing? Talking about plantations and prison reform. It's maddening. It's like the right is stuck in a single gear, defending itself pointlessly against accusations of racism when they could be capitalizing on the obvious and unceasing attacks on White people by the anti-White democratic party and leftist MSM.

Maybe so. Perhaps it should be not talked about, period. It's a losing battle for ALL parties involved.


Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake.

Once you engage in the banter, it's over. They've won. For example, when a leftist calls you a racist, it's a smear in 2019, but 100 years ago, it meant something entirely different. When you say "no YOU are the racist", you are ceding their definition of the word in question. They win, because what's important is the frame (racism = what they want it to mean). Whether or not you successfully defend yourself, they will now use this word on anyone else, and it's ability to end and an actual discussion and begin a defensive argument is greater than before. It's hard to see this now, because they've dominated that word (racism) for so long, but you could try it with other words too and see how easy it is to do, and also how easy it is to avoid. You cannot win by engaging it. You have to immediately deny their frame by not engaging.

In regards to the word "Racist", it has lost almost all of it's power because it has been used so much and the majority of the time for things that didn't warrant it. I still don't fully agree with ignoring or not engaging. I also feel that if you do this, they will think they have control over you but I do think this strategy should be used whenever someone says they are going to boycott a state, store, entertainer, etc. Don't engage or reply, in the end, not that much will be lost. Just my opinion.

Can you name anyone "white" that has bought slaves?

I can't, for the life of me, find where I claimed this.

quote:

He does nor even make the list of the 100 largets slaveowners in SC ... just ONE of the slave states. Nationally. he MAY have been in the top thousand.

---

The first part is not true.

And I don't know why you're shitting on the guy for not just sticking to facts when you're just throwing out assumptions with your 'may' comment.

Why not stick with objective fact, rather than lies and half-truths?

quote:

---

That makes it okay for white people to have boght slaves, owned slaves, beat them, rape them?

---

Wasn't just white people who did this. In fact if you look at the history of slavery worldwide 'white' people were very late into the game. It is just 'white' people that are singled out. Slavery was abolished in America 150 years ago yet we have people more concerned with that than current actual slavery that exist RIGHT NOW in Africa and the Middle East and parts of Asia. Why is that?

But what it hasn't lost is the power to instantly reframe a discussion. Yes, it's easy to say "oh you think everyone is racists, who cares", but what that statement implies is that " yeah, I mean if I WAS "racist", you'd have a point. That's the power of the word, and why it's not a good idea to engage in battles over it.
