I spent way more then 5 minutes with Rastafari. This does not enable me to guess what your unsubstantiated claim is hinting at. What I found rather weird is that many are still riding the slavery-victim-train, which was sort of weird for a european to witness first hand. I can imagine how this combined with the slave-trader-hunter-hero thing might feel a bit anti-peaceful, but I also understand the reasons for that attitude, histoically speaking.

I am aware we miss out on a lot of black-victim-culture over here. > You know, your personal or community economic failure has always been originating from the white man... /s Well, most people are not against free money falling from the sky. So while I get your snappy comment, I also feel like if someone was willing to pay, there is obviously still enough free money around, so no problem for me in particular.

- cool_dude85 3y agoI'd be interested to know what European country you're from that does not have a history of victimizing black people.
- machinawhite 3y agoYou're talking about western Europe right?
- cool_dude85 3y agoYes, fair, I'm thinking of primarily but not exclusively Western Europe.
- echelon_musk 3y agoHave you been to Jamaica or an ex transatlantic slave colony? This feels like a straw man to suggest that these descendants blame every hardship they face on history. I suspect, but can't know, that they are more knowledgable of history than you may be. Citizens of developed European nations (and the USA) are too often ignorant that the fact that their country is developed is in large part due to slavery. "Slavery created the capital for capitalism".
