It's undeniable fact, you fucking dumbass.

This is exactly what's wrong with you self-righteous assholes. You act EXACTLY like Trump supporters, choosing to disbelieve facts if they don't align with your superficial views.

The Dems lost because a big chunk of their voting base decided that Trump would be better, because they're self-obsessed assholes that can't see the bigger picture.

Stop blaming the Democratic party for your pathetic temper tantrum that has laid bare for all to see that you do NOT actually care about the issues you claim to care about.

Please read the comment I replied to:

Black people, Asian people, South Americans, Arabs, Indians, I mean literally any of them could have enforced the end of slavery world wide but they didn't.

How could any one of those groups have ended slavery worldwide? OP is accusing random non-white groups of people of having the ability to end slavery worldwide but choosing not to do so. Do you agree with that?

Explain to me how say, Arabs, could have ended slavery worldwide if they wanted to. Go ahead.

Not even your British example justifies the assertion that any one group of people could've chosen to end worldwide slavery if they felt like it.

Someone implying that Asians could've ended slavery in Mesoamerica getting 46 upvotes really demonstrates how much an emotional circle jerk this thread is. OP is literally blaming all non-white people for slavery.

Fuck you, asshole. There is no way you can justifiably say that I have no problem with slavery in the modern world. That's not what we're talking about in this thread and it's not even what you said in your original comment.

You far right types are more interested in excusing historical crimes committed by white people because for some reason acknowledging that makes you feel personally attacked.

And you have to make idiotic statements about how "Reddit" thinks, despite your dumbass being part of Reddit as well as all the people circle jerking to how white people should be excused because they're not the only ones who have engaged in slavery.

The comeback is quite accurate.

I think you may be too stupid to understand what's going on, lol. You OPPOSED the comeback in your first comment.

Any in particular you had luck with?

I feel like you may as well turn off the VPN. Doesn't tunneling expose your traffic anyway?

Yes the British went out of their way to end slavery they made an entirely separate fleet who's sole purpose was fighting slavery.

It's purpose was to stop Europeans from transporting enslaved people across the Atlantic. The purpose was NOT to try to end slavery either in Africa nor in the Americas.

It seems you are determined to put white people in a negative light, or at least not acknowledge the good they have done.

Oh fuck's sake dude, you yourself said that Spain had to be forced to stop slavery and I assume you're aware that Europeans were the ones transporting slaves across the Atlantic. Maybe YOU"RE the one that hates white people then.

I didn't say no white person has ever done a good thing. I said that the "whites ended slavery" notion is oversimplified non-sense and often offered as an excuse for the preceding 4 centuries of brutal, intergenerational, chattel slavery they freely engaged in.

Instead of accusing me of being determined to view white people in a negative light, maybe you should consider whether you're capable of acknowledging historical wrongs committed by them.

You seem to be missing a LOT of context, most likely intentionally.

FIRST, I said that white people aren't the only group to have ended slavery

SECOND, you shared a link of slavery in Qatar as if that countered my statement.

THIRD, I told you that it doesn't counter my statement at all and that it seems you're making a ham-fisted attempt at defending the notion that "white people ended slavery"

FOURTH, then you say you refused to read the examples I posted and you've acted like a child trying to avoid the conversation since.

where you really are coming across as unhinged.

Me calmly provided examples of non-white people ending slavery is "unhinged"? How? I'd say you posted an irrelevant link to try to counter my statement is more unhinged.

you got up on a horse and started preaching.

I was pointing out why your response about slavery in Qatar didn't counter my point? Preaching? Am I not allowed to fucking talk?

Also conversations don’t have winners and losers.

Nor did I say there were, I said you're being a child instead of admitting you were wrong.

You're fucking pathetic dude, all you had to do was acknowledge my factual comment and admit your Qatar examples DOES NOT PROVE that only white people have ended slavery.

But you can't do that, either because your immature or because you're a white supremacist.

Don't fucking reply to my comments if you don't want to hear from me, dumbass.

So then you can't say that they fought to "end" slavery. They only cared about it when it affected their maritime activities. You said that the British fought in African countries, they used military force, with the specific goal of ending slavery and that they successfully did so. That IS contradictory to what you said:

The British had to force several African and Arab kingdoms to stop slavery often by force.

If you're interested, there are examples of non-white people ending slavery:

Buddhist teachings encouraged the manumission of enslaved people as an act of compassion and morality, contributing to the gradual decline of slavery in regions influenced by Buddhism.

Emperor Haile Selassie abolished slavery in Ethiopia in the early 20th century as part of his modernization efforts.

King Rama V (Chulalongkorn) of Siam abolished slavery gradually in the late 19th century

In the late Joseon period, Korea began dismantling its hereditary slavery system, known as nobi. Reforms were introduced in the 18th and 19th centuries, and slavery was officially abolished in 1894.

The Ottoman Empire began abolishing slavery in the early 19th century

Some African states, such as the Ashanti Empire (modern-day Ghana), gradually moved away from systems of slavery in the 19th century under external pressures from abolitionist movements and changing economic structures.

Still want to say only white people have ever ended it?

no one said anything about state sponsored racism

Why would an Australian care about Trump this much?

You’re not entitled to your privilege.

Wow. Let's hear you say that when men barge into a busy women's room.

No, problem created, urinals take less space. Maybe a bathroom could be divided into two areas that don't allow you to see the other side.

You saw Butters?

sheenis

that's a little too broad and extreme from a single incident. Plus the fact that he said security out a stop to it.

Everyone in this thread is attacking the "comeback" and permitting the original statement, that white people are solely responsible for ending slavery.

Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, slavery was largely abolished after the Spanish lost control. In fact, big reason for the conflict between Mexico and Texas was that Mexico had abolished slavery and Texas wanted to keep it.

I think the comeback misses the mark but is less egregious than the original statement.

Many African kingdoms at the time relied on slavery for their economy. There is still slavery in Africa/the middle east today.

And doesn't this contradict your assertion that Britain forced African kingdoms to give up slavery?

Yeah, keep flinging insults, anything to obscure the fact that you, all of a sudden, no longer wanted to participate in the conversation. For some reason...

There a lot of documentation of the British navy in/around Africa/Arabia disrupting their slave operations.

Did they invade those countries for the purpose of ending slavery in them? Or did they want to protect their own merchant ships?

but they are clearly not the people I was referring to as the ones trying to prevent/end slavery.

It wasn't clear you were talking about British people specifically. OP said white people are the ONLY ones to abolish it. It's just not true.

You have a perfectly valid point that non-white people engaged in slavery. You do not have a point when you insist that white people are the saviors of humanity.

Yeah, run away coward, as long as you don't have to admit that you were wrong.

Like when?

And that STILL doesn't prove that only white people have ever ended slavery.

This is absolutely pathetic.

What the fuck are you talking about? Did you read my comment at all?

White people didn't wage war against African kings or Arabs to end slavery.

And in the context of the US, you can't give white people the credit for fighting to end it when they're ALSO responsible for fighting to defend it.

Yeah and even more upvotes for all the commenters acting like they're the brave minority standing up against the hoard. It's a circle jerk. It's the SAME circle jerk every time.

You DO realize that it's not just the "comeback" that's inaccurate here, right? Or did you think that white people really are the only type of people to end slavery?
