Interesting. Can you name a country that does not have a history of systematic enslavement? Perhaps the commenter is living in a Slavic country where whites were enslaved?
- bradlys 5y agoSlavery is just one aspect. Almost no one in Slavic countries (afaik) complains about slavery affecting them to this day because - in all likelihood - probably somewhat difficult to tell who is descendant of slaves and who isn’t. Isn’t as difficult to tell in the US. And the policy that followed after the end of slavery wasn’t done to help those who had been slaves or were descendants of slaves… the policy tried to make them second or third rate citizens. So, the consequences of those things are still felt to this day and are very real. It’s why so many cities in the US are heavily segregated to this day. (Look at a racial dot map of Chicago)
- cudgy 5y agoWe are almost all descendants of slaves. The issue is not if … it’s when Your descendants were slaves. Not sure anyone can speak for all Slavic people. However, just because someone complains about something doesn’t mean it didn’t happen to others. Can you name a city in the world that doesn’t have some sort of racial, religious, economic or other form of segregation?
- bradlys 5y agoThis is really the "all lives matter" of slavery debates. I'm done with this nonsense.
