Milwalkee riots

Well what does it have to do with anything I've said? You were showing me a comment you believed exhibited my racism and I told you it was just a post where I was explaining how I'm different circumstances we might have different moral values to what we have now, even in extreme cases like owning slaves.
Then you were explaining to me the logic behind restitution for some reason but I have no idea why.

Look, even back in those days there were white people vehemently opposed to slavery usually referred to as abolitionists. You made it very clear that YOU personally would not be among the abolitionists.

Now do you get it?

Oh ok, I do get where you're coming from now but I disagree.

The point I was making is that I admit to sometimes being morally weak.

I watch some hardcore porn now that I probably shouldn't watch, I'm sure some of the people in those films are exploited but I watch them anyway.

When I said if I was a rich slave owner I'd find it difficult to give up those slaves in an era where slavery was acceptable, what I mean is that I can imagine myself making excuses for the fact I have slaves and continuing being morally wrong but comfortable and secure.
I believe anyone who is even slightly morally weak in one instance might be weak in others.
If you're the type of person to bow down to peer pressure to make fun of someone who's to say you wouldn't join in with the nazis for example.
Everyone likes to think they'd be one of the good guys in situations like that looking back in historical hindsight

I might be being pessimistic and underestimating my moral character, maybe I'd free all my slaves, I don't know, given other circumstances I'm sure I'd join in the abolition movement.
