Either one can be worse. Slavery has a legal connotation, but both can have the same effect. Involuntary labor, abuse, death, etc. Typically, one wouldn't allow slaves to starve because of the expense of replacing them. The oppressed often are starved to death, as the goal is often to wipe them out, not profit off their labor.
Am i wrong? Im not defending slavery at all, but there were lots of people who were treated worse than blacks.
Exactly... Both are horrible, but id rather be forced to work and be fed than be forced off my land on a boat where most of my family will die to come to a land where im not wanted and have to quote literally fight for survival. Google "Irish immigrants struggle" and read a little bit.
Your level of ignorance is mind boggling. You've been indoctrinated, and are clearly too stupid to realize it. Please don't have children. They will grow up to realize what a disappointment you really are.
Irish immigrants mostly came because of famine. The church in england set up soup kitchens but the irish had to convert to their religion. Irish Catholics made up the vast majority of immigrants. Most of them were farmers who were hardly more than slaves on their own land. Ireland was a British territory and a law was passed barring the irish from owning land and forces them to farm to pay rent on their own land. The costs were so steep that the meat and most food went to the British. When the potatoes (the main food source for the Irish because it was cheap and easy to grow) failed the irish were starving. The rate of illness and death was through the roof, open a history book or google the potato famine.
The point is, its not just a black thing. Ancestors of many races were seriously persecuted. Ireland was also once invaded by Vikings.
America got in WW2 because of pearl harbor.
You bring up Ireland like that shit is anywhere near the fucking same. It's not even close to the same thing. Discrimination of blacks (to put it lightly) has been literally LEGAL in this country for at least 345 years (safe estimate 1619-1964). It was official government policy to view us as 3/5 of a person. All a fucking Irishman had to do was lose that ridiculous accent, and he became a regular white man. Problem solved. GTFOH with that Irish bullshit.
and i'm not saying it's OK to punch kittens, but...
You are aware that the people selling the slaves to the "white man" in Africa were other blacks correct? Tribes went to war and often took the losers as slaves. Eventually tje white folks
Free and dying? Stop eating for a weej and tell me how you feel. They were slaves, indentured servants who worked for survival, just like blacks. Only diffrence was they were not valuable.
you went from just kinda stupid to all out fucking idiot in a day.
I didn't insinuate a fucking thing. I'm telling you flat out. And who sold what to whom has no relevance to how they were treated once they arrived. So I don't want to hear shit about some fucking Irish "struggle", because it pales in comparison. Racial bigotry is built into the system. Irish (white) bigotry is not.
I doubt it.
The fault lies in ones inability to look back and see where they have been and what they have done, then who benefited.
that's cute, you thought you were debating rather than repeating retarded talking points and showcasing your own stupidity.Im done debating with the liberal sheep.
