Praising slavery while Black

Democratic Florida State Representative Kimberly Daniels once said, "I thank God for slavery."

And she's an anti-semite to boot...


And you can talk about the Holocaust, but the Jews own everything. We go through some things, but let me tell you something — when you go through, you qualify to get paid back. You don’t need the government to give it back, God will give it back.

Kooks gonna kook. State house of representatives is the minor league of American politics and kookery is not uncommon.
 
You're telling us black people aren't a perfectly homogenous block of perfectly saintly victims?

Guys, call off the racism threads! Some lady said something!
 
Well, the Mastuhs probably thought so, and since she undoubtedly has some Mastuh's genes in her heritage, she is probably right to that extent.

Refreshing. You hardly ever hear a black person give any credit to the white male that brought their great grandmother over. Or even any empathy for the sons and daughters of the white master that he also put into slavery. Yeah, that's it, Whites enslaved Whites too!!! I want my reparations too! :D
 
Is this a new thread title meme? ("Doing X while X") Cause I think it's gonna trend soon.

I wouldn't be on this Earth if not for Hitler (my father's parents only met because my Pop traveled to the UK and joined the RAF in WW2) but that doesn't mean that WW2 was a good thing, or that Hitler was a nice guy.

I wonder how Africa would have developed without mass slavery or colonisation with its abundant natural resources, sure there would have been wars the odd despot much the same as Europe, I guess.

As for Kimberly Daniels; obviously she has mental health issues, remarkable that she got elected.

Yes, you should be grateful for the actions of malicious actors because the long term, multi-generational unintended side effects were positive.

It's like if I get black out drunk, hop in my car, and run over a pedestrian, only to find out later that it was a serial killer out stalking his next victim. I'm a hero! They should be handing me the key to the city, not locking me up for DUI. The great grandchildren of the saved victim should be maintaining a shrine in my honor, with fresh beer poured over my 12 foot statue 24/7.

Or maybe an abusive husband beats his wife up so badly she is hospitalized and she misses a flight. Later, the plane crashes, killing all aboard. Johnny Heavyhands saved his wife's life! She ought to show some gratitude.

If someone were to murder you, would any of your relatives stand to gain financially?

If so, do you think you should be taking daily walks in dodgy neighborhoods in your finest jewellery? You know, for the sake of your progeny.


This is roughly the calculation you're making here.

I simply wondered how Africa as a continent would have developed without slavery and colonisation if it had control over its own resources during the past two or three hundred years. Dodgy neighbourhoods exist all over the world, I’m not aware of making any calculations as it is difficult to quantify how much slavery and colonisation impacted the natural development of the continent.

Maybe I have drifted off topic.

The progeny of slaves taken off to distant affluent continents might indeed be better off than the progeny of natives left in their colonized and exploited native lands.


That's not saying much though.
