    I know you hate the idea but the 20th century and the centuries before are long gone. Time to adapt to the 21st century.

    Considering there were no laws exclusively targeting a skin colour iwould say your speculation is baseless.

    Not sure what this means.
    Skin color did not have as much effect as religion had on slavery.
    Christians did not have Christian slaves (once upon a time) and
    Muslims did not like having Muslim slaves.
    Who cares about the skin. It was chattel, it was slavery and it
    was ethnic and racist.Romans for instance didn't care what color
    your slave's skin was - nor do Africans. A slave is a slave.

    It neans that ONLY WHITE AMERICANS WROTE LAWS EXCLUSIVELY TARGETING A CERTAIN SKIN COLOUR FOR PERPETUAL SLAVERY.

    thanks for allowing me the chance to drum the point home further

    Cecil Rhodes, the founder of Rhodesia.

    It was a fine country (one of the best in Africa) until they decided that socialism would be better. Today they are lucky if they have electricity for more than few hours per day.

    Now they hate Rhodes for creating such nice country and they want to tear down his statue

    Actually there is no such political group, association, alliance or union as whites.
    The term is used only by black people.
    We will see who can bite stronger though.

    The issue is that white people are very stupid.
    They cannot stand up by themselves.
    They prefer to be slaves and eventually they are going to be slaughtered

    I asked a simple question. You don't want to answer it. I get it, I guess.

    Ah, that Rhodes-the diamond man who founded the Rhodes scholarships as well as a country of sorts. Yes it did devolve into Zimbabwe one of the worst managed countries on the planet. Sad story. It seems some people think tearing down statues will erase memories. I don't think that works.

    First of all, Luther King has been an enemy of the state when this allegedly happened. So the FBI is probably not the best source on this. Second of all, the claim itself is not that he himself raped somebody but watched it and did nothing.

    https://www.politico.com/magazine/s...nse-of-the-shocking-new-mlk-documents-227042/

    Does it sound convincing to you? To me, it doesn't. What was exactly the unspecified sexual act? Did he actually raped her or did he just grabbed her titties? Or did he just say something bad? Why didn't the FBI agent intervene if there was a rape going on under his surveillance? There is just no proof for such assertive statements like yours. It's all speculation. Presumed innocent until proven guilty.

    We weren't there. I read an article about women who were presented to King
    as aids or admirers, and were raped. Not that it matters - in another context,
    say he was the Churchill of his day, his statues would be pulled down by woke feminists.

    Was that skin color black or brown?
    Do you mean ALL 'whites' or SOME 'whites'?
    'White' Americans didn't like Jews, or even the Irish.
    But in Africa every tribe looked down on every other tribe - so racism is universal,
    in fact human nature is designed like that to protect the species.

    I beg your pardon, but it does matter! It's history damn it and we want to know all of it! Good, bad, and ugly.

    Oh, "highly believable" "pre woke wokies" well ****, who can doubt that?

    (not to digress but I have to know; is "woke" yet another euphemism for "Jew"? Jews ARE roundly hated for daring to tell the rest of the world that killing and enslaving everyone else they possibly can is really not in keeping with telling everyone else that the enslaving murderers are the world's most moral grouping, but as I say, I digress )

    The Pueblo Indians? I heard of a brain disease among some denizens of Borneo who ate revered (and dead) relatives out of respect, is that what you're referring to?

    This demographic is in no position to demand anything from anyone. They are the most murderous, highest rate of STD’s, 2nd worse in literacy, 2nd worse in graduation rate. According to historian and economist Thomas Sowell those numbers have all gotten worse after the end of Jim Crow and worse again after affirmative action. This trend of giving them things because they kick and scream like a child who got told no in a candy store.
