Why do some blacks moan and whine about slavery?
May 12, 2013 at 9:13 am
I am black, and even in some part descended from slaves.
However, I will say this. I don't give a shit about "slavery". This for the following reasons:
- Human beings are cruel. Get over it. We're a savage species at our root. Just a cursory glance at how we behave lends to this.
- Most blacks who claim to hate whites over slavery are total hypocrites. If racism is bad, then it cannot be used to serve your own agenda. If something is deemed wrong, it cannot be right when YOU use it. You are no better than the racist "evil" (lulz.. evil doesn't even exist) white people.
- What does being angry do exactly? Will your anger travel back in time to 1750 or whenever, unshackle your ancestor on the slave ship and send him or her back to Africa?

I agree with most of what you say.

Agreed, humans being are cruel, but that's no excuse for slavery. We should certainly moan and whine (and more) about slavery when it still happens across the world.

Anyone who hates an entire race (or gender, or age-group, or nationality, or religion, or political movement, etc.) because of something an often small subset of them do is being illogical. No good comes from extending your hatred to people who have no involvement with the thing you hate. Not all white people were slave owners or even supported slavery, and a vast majority of white people these days think slavery is repulsive and find the actions of their ancestors disgusting.
And yes, reverse discrimination is not somehow allowable because you (or your people) were once discriminated against. Two wrongs do not make a right.

No, for that you need the Doctor. :-)

Morals are subjective, nay they don't even exist. If slavery came back tomorrow, there is nothing anybody can say to categorically dismiss it. What is objective though is that humans are cruel. This may not justify cruelty, but surely a healthy person (unlike black people who say racism is wrong yet hate white people based on past "atrocities" lol...) realises how people get on/behave.
I personally don't give a shit about "atrocities", as stated people are cruel and it's in our nature to be so.

You make it sound as if it is a thing of the past.

Hmmm, I wonder if you are talking about slavery in general or what? I'm white and I "piss and moan" about slavery because it's fucking horrible and disgusting. I do agree, however, that it is no excuse to go ahead and reverse the hate that made allowances for it to begin with.

I'll begrudge one group for moaning about slavery when the other uniformly abandons support for the same. I'm lookin at you, Cletus. Fucking bastards, besmirching the good name and character of the south.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Morality is anything one makes it to be. Those who perpetuate slavery are no "lesser" than those who "suffer" from it. Morals are merely like choices in ice cream or movies, purely subjective.
Black Americans should acknowledge the hypocrisy of hating "whitey" and then condemning racism as "evil".
