Thank you, sir, personally, for making slavery illegal. You are a saint among men, who will stand alongside the halls of other great people such as the guy who decided rape should be illegal, the other guy who decided murder should be illegal, and yet a third person who decided being homosexual should not be illegal

Thanks! I thought on it long and hard, weighed the pros and cons and everything. Even carried the one. I told the one, spec into DPS or GTFO but he was like no "this ability is interesting I wanna focus on status" STATUS DOESN'T DO HALF A DICK. Fucking... People man.

I never owned a slave and I never fought in the American Civil War for the United States of America. I do not need to apologize and do not need to be thanked.

Try this -- the first "race" of people in the world to make slavery illegal while the rest of the world resisted their efforts, including the African Kingdom of Dahomey.

And I'm getting sick of being called a racist or my ancestors were racists when my parents were the first members of both of their families to live in America when they moved here in 1978

Neither one of those things disputes the topic title claim.

The vast majority of white people alive today had nothing to do with slavery or the statues or neo nazism or killing protestors who take down those statues.

Topic title is correct.

So true, TC. Even the Finns are guilty of slavery in America.

Yep! My family moved to America in 1978 from Czechoslovakia, but we're the problem because some other white people made black people slaves hundreds of years ago.

Yeah, it was white people that enslaved black people in the U.S.
The title almost implies that we did it because we're white. That would be like me blaming black people, if I got held up by one.
---

I wonder how many of those against the statues would have themselves owned slaves or condoned slavery back when it was commonplace and they didn't have the benefit of retrospect and years upon years of social progress and collective moral shifts. Like even before it became an issue to go to war over.

There is still black on black slavery in Africa....

No, saying all black people are criminals is racist because you're saying they're all same because of the color of their skin. Oh. . .

If it was not for the United States of America Germany, Italy, and Japan would still have slaves

Seriously though, you seem to be misunderstanding the fundamental problem of people who insist that slavery should be "gotten over" in some way because it is so far removed in our history are oblivious to the fact that monuments that glorify it are still around and idolized.

No, I'm tired of getting called a racist because of the color of my skin

And I don't have any issues with the statues getting taken down, show me where I said that, please. Nowhere, right? What I want is them to face the law for their crimes because what they're doing is against the last. They shouldn't get away with it because of their skin color, that's now how the law works. Don't try to push something on me that I don't believe in, I never said anything about the monuments here. Seems like you just put words in my mouth so you had a point to argue. But sorry, didn't say that.

Like the pyramids?

We should certainly have conversations about removing the confederate statues. But you're not willing to have that conversation. You're looking to blame all white people for slavery.

I agree. I hate when I get called racist just because I'm white. But I also hate when other white people can't bring themselves to admit the neo nazi rally in charlottesville was reprehensible (at least, not without also throwing shade at BLM or any other reactionary group). I roll my eyes every time that happens and think "great, that's another white person that's ruining it for the rest of us."

We should also take down any statues in America that pay homage to current African slavers.

Was that your point?

Well if it makes you feel any better: fuck nazis, and white supremacists. They have no place in this country. Fuck their "speech" and there should be no confederate statues. Having confederate statues is dumb as hell. And fuck Trump for his either stealth support of those people, or just fear of losing THEIR support.

Republican Party: home of losers, whether they be Nazis, or Confederates. Literal losers, and just in general at life, as well.

False

When Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered construction of the Great Wall around 221 B.C., the labor force that built the wall was made up largely of soldiers and convicts. It is said that as many as 400,000 people died during the wall's construction; many of these workers were buried within the wall itself.
