2. The other reason given was that white people don't have the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color.

That's true to an extent (although not absolute...Barbary pirates, anyone?), but WTF does that have to do with the decision to capitalize Black but not white? The answer is it has NOTHING to do with it, other than some CRT-style payback

we could go on forever on all this crap. slavery has been everywhere except antartica. people sold their own into slavery all over including indigenous tribes here in the usa. the ottoman empire had white slaves. my family could have been affected. i want my damn reparations!!

What a stupid argument, but don’t expect any less from you

It's so cringe to see someone argue this point like a Democrat pushing for a licensing scheme for firearms.

Yeah, gotta watch out for those Republicans. They'll build a database and come to take your votes away at a later date.

/s

Ding ding ding……we have a winner! Black Americans have been seduced by the Democrat party into using racism as a currency. As long as they can blame white people for all of their problems instead of looking internally at their culture it will only get worse.

How about instead of coming in hot calling everyone stupid you explain your position instead of being a condescending prick and then getting upset when we all call you a piece of shite. Enlighten us for once.

That didn't happen. Admit that and apologize, and we can have a reasonable conversation.

That, or frick off. I'm OK with either outcome based on your responses.

You two should totally shake on it....

It's only about "taking votes away" if you don't have a fricking clue what you're talking about.

You're a dumbass if you think firearms licensing schemes are about confiscation.

Don't get pissy with me, you're the one who stepped on that rake.

Folks throw terms around and do not ever reflect on what they mean or history in general (beyond what TV, SM, or zealot of choice tells them)

slave (n.) late 13c.,

"person who is the chattel or property of another," from Old French esclave (13c.), from Medieval Latin Sclavus "slave" (source also of Italian schiavo, French esclave, Spanish esclavo), originally "Slav" (see Slav); so used in this secondary sense because of the many Slavs sold into slavery by conquering peoples.

The oldest written history of the Slavs can be shortly summarised--myriads of slave hunts and the enthralment of entire peoples. The Slav was the most prized of human goods. With increased strength outside his marshy land of origin, hardened to the utmost against all privation, industrious, content with little, good-humoured, and cheerful, he filled the slave markets of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It must be remembered that for every Slavonic slave who reached his destination, at least ten succumbed to inhuman treatment during transport and to the heat of the climate. Indeed Ibrahim (tenth century), himself in all probability a slave dealer, says: "And the Slavs cannot travel to Lombardy on account of the heat which is fatal to them." Hence their high price. The Arabian geographer of the ninth century tells us how the Magyars in the Pontus steppe dominated all the Slavs dwelling near them. The Magyars made raids upon the Slavs and took their prisoners along the coast to Kerkh where the Byzantines came to meet them and gave Greek brocades and such wares in exchange for the prisoners. ["The Cambridge Medieval History," Vol. II, 1913]

When it is all said and done, we (humanity) may have to come to grips that we are someone/something elses property/livestock...
