Most people are racist to some degree, not just white people.

Just try being from the wrong clan or ethnic group in any African country

Everyone seems to forget Rwanda these days, even though it was relatively recent.

To be fair, that started because of European colonization and the the desire to be close to whiteness. The two ethnic groups fighting: one had European ancestry and thus physical traits while the other group did not.

Ah, that explains a few things.

Does genocide existing in Africa post European colonization, exploitation, and pillaging justify American enslavement and genocide of Black and Indigenous people?

I don't think you can be reasoned with as you seem to believe those things are a "white" pathology and didn't exist before European colonialism. You should talk to some Neanderthals. Oh, shit, that's right...

Because pre-colonial Africa was a complete utopia, I guess.

[–]Daddiescummies 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Still not understanding why genocide and enslavement driven by whites' demand for resources and land was a necessicary component.

True, except white Americans were the ones who engaged in mass enslavement and genocide of Indigenous and Black people to build generational wealth and systems that continue to exploit Black and Indigenous people to benefit whites.

That doesn't negate my point. Are you trying to say people of colour can't be racist because white people are really racist in that specific case?

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

That user is banned, and yes, that's exactly what they would say.

I left their comment up because there is some truth to American enslavement of minorities, and that's discussion-worthy.

However, that user would not be discussing it in good-faith, and is also derailing every single thread they participate in with it. This thread isn't about white racism in the USA, it's about US marriage equality for LGBs.

    We can all say bitch, bitch. However, don't be a bitch and bring your bitching to a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with your personal problem. Don't target another user while you're being bitchy either, we don't allow that. Also ... none of us knew YOU reported another user, but now YOU just put yourself on the radar. Good job, bitch.

    OK, enough of that.

    Send a message to moderators to review your case. We call it "ModMail" for anyone familiar with Reddit/SaidIt subs, but for those newer or unfamiliar, it's called "message the moderators". It's linked all over the place, but here ya go: https://saidit.net/message/compose?to=%2Fs%2FLGBDropTheT

    Please reference me by name - TumbleweedFireflies or IPD (my old username) - and I'll look into it. If you send a message tonight and I'm offline, I'll be back tomorrow and will respond.

    Please provide a link to your removed comment and/or your ban message (or you can reply to the ban message to immediately resurrect it into our ModMail). I was gone for several months for personal reasons, and am back now, and can't locate it. I checked your profile for posts/comments over the past year and don't see anything removed. If you deleted it, well ... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    That user, forgot the name, targeted that other user, and nothing was done. So again, we either all can be bitches to each other or we cant.

    I don't give a fuck about putting myself on the radar; the sub has less than 2000 peeps, and members can simply block me if they don't desire to see my comments. It's not a big deal, basically, especially since I'm hardly on the site since it keeps breaking down which it will do again quite soon.

    I also don't delete...it was a MOD. Nonetheless, thanks, for the shout out!
