Tell us more about hate.
Hate leads to suffering?
I hate racists.
I hate racists.
How do you feel about racist dog whistles (look above for an example in the post I quoted)
Good people on both sides. But so much hate, so much. On both sides

I'm pretty sure the Islamic Extremists will vastly out number the right wing extremists.
Another thing I wanted to ask was for all you yanks, in school do they teach you the Americans bought slaves from their own black slave owners or are you taught that the white race invented slavery?
But currently the violent white supremacists outnumber the islamic extremists.
The point was that Islamist Extremists ARE RIGHT WING EXTREMISTS*
*With very, very very few exceptions.
That is because the White Supremacists brought the tear gas.

Perhaps it is mentioned.
But the lessons mostly focus on the decrepit conditions of the holding areas, the rigors of passage, the experience of sale, the hard working conditions, the breaking of families, the maltreatment and everything else*.
But maybe they should talk more about the fact that Africans acted as brokers in Africa. Because you know, that makes everything the "White Race" did okay.
*Note: unless you go to school in Texas:

It's like saying that some of the asian and eastern european child prostitutes were sold into slavery by their parents. That guy wants to absolve the pedos and the pimps.

Well that's straight up incorrect, look at the statistics that involve Muslim extremists worldwide vs any of form of extremism stemming from any other ideology again worldwide, Islam leads the way.

Its not about absolving people of responsibility, it is just that context is detrimental to a persons grasp of what slavery actually was and it's origins.

Well I just find it interesting because I have spoke to people about the origins of slavery and enough to be concerned seem to think it started in America and was the white races original conception, which it was not.
I don't really think anyone owes anyone anything for mistakes in the past that were made by others.
For example, I recently met a German and he apologised about WW2. I felt sorry for him in the same way I feel sorry for people who think Trump is a Neo Nazi apologist.
We had a similar 180 in the UK recently, we had Corbyn, he was not willing to out right denounce the IRA bombings and just condemned acts of terror, he was hailed as a peace warrior! Trump does the same and people point calling him a Nazi.

How does one translate "white privilege" into UK English?
Let's be honest, this didn't happen, you're just pretending a sketch from a 90s comedy is real life.
Corbyn saying both extremist sides in the Ireland crisis should be condemned for the terrorist bombings they carried out is not the same as saying people who protest extremism are as bad as the extremists.

As much as I want to agree with people holding the right to speak their mind on what they think is BS once you start to tear down monuments you start to tear down history and you are doomed to forget it then repeat it. Regardless on what you think is good or bad of past actions or people those monuments remind us of the history behind them and provoke thought as to the events of such things. You don't see Italians tearing down the Coliseum (or Roman Rulers that caused great suffering) in Rome do you? No you do not. It is not only a historical marker for the city it is a reminder of what society can do once bad choices are made. I can not help but seeing that in all this tearing down of statues that apparently promoted suffering or wrongdoing that the Sherman (Union) statue was left alone.... The man had a scorched earth march in The South that directly caused suffering to the civilian population.
It is very true "history is written by the victors", and if you don't understand that then having even more history torn down you are doomed to loose that knowledge and context.
Verbally damn whatever actions or history you want but don't go about physically erasing it.

Their is, my friend, their is. The data makes it's home here. But Snopes has had a liberal bug up they're ass ever since are President started running.
You are completely bypassing the fact that many of these statues and monuments were not erected to honor the past. They were implicitly intended as a thumb in the eye of the civil rights movement and to make sure "niggers" knew their place as second class citizens in the eyes of the law.
I want you to explain why memory depends on monuments, for a start.
Hope you're doing okay in Houston. I used to live in Independence Heights.
