I was raised by my grandfather. We would watch all the chaos going on in the 70's on our rural little farm. He would tell me many rules a good man should live by. One of those rules was to never use the color of my skin as an excuse for personal weaknesses. And another was to respect all people until they give you reason not to. Rules I still live by.

The movie was called Submission. Shortly after this movie Theo van Gogh was assasinated by a muslim in Amsterdam.

The first slave owner in the future US was an African indentured servant from 1619. He brought people over from Africa under an indentured servitude contract and successfully argued that one of them was bound to him for life. This is allowed through English Common Law under a debtor's contract and still exists today in places like India. It even expands to multi-generational contracts. In the US these types of contracts were abolished long before the civil war. Nearly all debts are abolished during bankruptcy with the exception of Student Loans and those will probably be challenged in the coming years.

[@randymaylowski2485]

I know right, she was awesome! And she's right, that's why they the government wanted black people to believe "white people are racist". It blows my mind that black people think "white people are racist", but yet I seen lots of black people dating / marrying a white person than but yet "whites are racist" how does that make sense? oh right it doesn't. It's all been there excuse for getting attention from white people, so white people would feel bad for them by their race. Reality it shouldn't be about stupid race it should be about learn to unite with each other as one human race❤. Like imagine if we were all color blind like animals.

[@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl]

As a one, one and only race the human race we were and are divided into factions, made narratives constantly repeated, to control! We were conquered, conquered ourselves, on only one purpose, so that a few people can enslave the rest of us and to make a money and get or to hold power over us. That's world politics in a nutshell!

Faith cannot exist in reality either

[@brucenorman8904]

@@csabo1725 Faith can most certainly exist in reality.

[@8thYang]

What exactly is "faith" directed at in this statement? Faith in what? Usually it's directed at the existence of the Christian God, which then in turn, purports fear. In Christianity, it's essential for fear and faith to exist in the same place. Although I am not Christian, I still don't understand this statement, nor do I understand why people are moved by it. Fear, is a natural response when facing mortal adversity. If you think that you can invest enough faith into anything and become impervious to fear, you're either wrong, or you're a sociopath. Or perhaps a bit unhinged due to relentless fanaticism. If, by chance, the statement implies that faith is in one's self, I can stomach it, but I don't see any significant power in it.

So true. It's amazing to me that no one shows pics of all race slaves in chains etc but ppl want to act like that didn't happen! It breaks my heart to see anyone treated as sub-human! But to the woke, it was only blacks who were slaves. Stolen, sold, mistreated and owned only by whites! If they knew or cared to know then they could not be the ultimate victim and DESERVE more than anyone else. Why would anyone want to be a victim? To me that's an insult and I've had bad things happen to me! I learned from those things tho, which takes work, lazy ppl hate work

There's a book called "Barracoon: The Story of the Last Black Cargo" that you should read, if you haven't already. It's a biography of the last living slave (known at the time) in the US to make the journey across the Atlantic, Cudjoe Lewis. The author interviewed him in 1927, but the book wasn't published until 2018 (58 years after the author died). He gave her his account of his village being raided by a neighboring tribe when he was a teen, the men slaughtered and dismembered, the women and children sold as slaves. This kind of brutality served 2 purposes. It eliminated nearby enemies/competitors, and it filled the conqueror's pockets. It's also not unique. Most of human history worldwide has been a cycle of violence and subjugation.

[@pablorobles1277]

Regrettably this and most facts about universal human cruelty throughout history has been funneled into the demonization of one race and taken to the extremes in current social agendas. It is human nature to knock the powerful from their perches, not for the good of all, but to install ourselves in their place. The problem with this is that throughout history most new rulers are just as bad or worse than the deposed.
