I'm really tired of this American centric hysteria. The world doesn't care. Please resolve this domestically.
Yes I'm aware of the Atlantic slave trade - it was despicable and shameful.
- falcolas 6y agoAmerica isn't the only place that the Atlantic slave trade occurred. It's not the only place where blacks (and others, like Muslims) have been/are persecuted in greater numbers than the "indigenous" populations.
- durnygbur 6y ago> It's not the only place where blacks (and others, like Muslims) Ever heard of Arab slave trade?
- falcolas 6y agoHence my attempt (perhaps insufficient) to not say that "only" Black lives matter in this case. I'm also not infering that the BLM movement has been saying anything like that in the first place.
- dependenttypes 6y agoArab slave trade does not refer to arabs being slaves but rather to people from north africa, south europe, and eastern europe being traded - so, caucasians.
- durnygbur 6y agoYes - Arabs (predominantly Muslims) are responsible for slave trade comparable in magnitude to Atlantic slave trade.
- downerending 6y agoNot sure Native Americans would agree with that.
- karpierz 6y agoIf we consistently held that attitude, South African apartheid wouldn't have ended.
- Wohlf 6y agoNow imagine how we feel when the whole world is constantly constantly butting in to our affairs.
