Please point out how many ethnic groups were slaves and suffered under Jim Crow?
Just so you understand you are looking like a complete and utter idiot at this point?
How could educating racists be bad thing?
They sure did in America, which happens to be the country we are talking about right now.Well that's about ignorant. White people didn't start slavery.
Yes they were and I would go as far to say the Chinese were treated close to slaves.
In the end they were not taken by force and sold in America as a slave.
But all this has little to do with my initial statement.

For one thing, they AND you would have had a totally different outlook on how things work in the world given the time.
#2 - they would not have listened to you as a teenager, so you'd have "educated" no one. You would not have gotten past, "Can I talk to you for a minute, sir?"
#3 - If they weren't listening to Abraham Lincoln, what makes you think they'd be open to you "educating" them.
#4 - You're talking in feel good sound bytes.
#5 - There's a world of difference between trying to educate and actually educating. To assume you could achieve the latter is arrogant. It's noble. But it's not reality.
I would not want to kill them, I would want to educate them.
They did in America, and that is what he is referring to. Please don't play stupid as I know you are not.
You're wrong. The Spanish brought slaves to the islands. They then came to Florida.
Slavery started in Africa, black on black.
True, they weren't. But then, Africans weren't taken by white men to start with either. They were taken by other Africans and then sold to white men. Just so we're clear.
And you're right, it has very little to do with anything anymore.
So then they perpetuated it for many years... Not much better.You're wrong. The Spanish brought slaves to the islands. They then came to Florida.

Read my post again:
I never assumed I would achieve by goal, but I lose nothing by trying.
No, they didn't. Slavery has roots that go way further back than colonialism. Please don't play stupid as I know you are not.
Don't put words in my mouth. I did not say "it has very little to do with anything anymore" that makes you a liar.
I said it has little to do with my initial statement.
Africans did not take other Africans thousands of miles away. African slaves could marry into the family etc. It was not even remotely the same.
I apologize that you failed to comprehend my initial statement.Oh oh oh...so now we're going to move the goal posts from your original statement to something more defined.
You and an open window...the very definitions of transparency.
So then they perpetuated it for many years... Not much better.
Nice strawman, please try again.
So then they perpetuated it for many years... Not much better.
It is EXACTLY the same. Africans sold other africans as property. Slavery is slavery is slavery is slavery.
It doesn't matter if the yard nigger can become a house nigger some day by giving head to the massa' or not. It's still slavery and not something I am willing to stomach.
I apologize that you failed to comprehend my initial statement.
I would WANT to educate them. What are you missing? I also WANT to end world hunger and I WANT a cure for AIDS. That hardly makes it feasible.Yes, you said you would educate them. That's why I questioned your naivete.
No it is not. Slavery is like anything else has different sects so to speak. To deny this is the height of stupidity.
Again with the strawman. :roll:
Oh so I see. We can go off about how bad slavery was as long as we don't go far enough back to remember that it was blacks who started it themselves.
You need to learn the definition of straw man, pal.
Okay, Jall. Whatever makes you feel good. Interesting that other posters understood me, though. :shrug:I won't apologize for you that you are dishonest and make little sense.
