Inventing and practicing it are two different things. If you shoot someone, the person that invented the gun doesn't get the blame, you do.

BUT if the gun wasnt invented, there would be no gun to shoot. :comeon:

I don't disagree with you but shoot someone and tell the cops/judge "BUT if the gun wasnt invented, there would be no gun to shoot.". Let me know how it goes.

We're talking about slavery thats been around since Moses.
Guns werent around when Moses was stroking his beard.

cmon retta. you're comparing apples to bananas when you bring up a gun. yes, i get your point.
what you're saying, yes both are the same concept. BUT slavery wasnt invented NOR created by "white people"
idk. i never said they didnt partake in it. im only saying their sheep that followed a shepherd.

A little perspective is needed, because you're trying to play agenda semantics here. Saying "we were slaves", as a black person, is entirely accurate because its rhetorical symbolism in a historical context...it establishes "who" was affected as a group or collective. Its no different than when people say WE were attacked on 9/11...does that mean that every single American was attacked on that day? Or how about when people say WE fought for freedom in WW2.

Now you want to change the rules of American colloquialism and meaning, when the same language that the dominant class uses is used to their disfavor, and specifically to the white american male psyche. White ancestors benefited from the inequities of slavery as an institution, and those who are white Americans today still enjoy the entrenched institutional advantages that linger at the expense of the descendants of slaves.


:wow: that work

To point to what others have done is a fig leaf for avoiding our own responsibilities. Slavery as an institution has existed in lots of other times and places, other countries, other cultures — usually with no particular race-based pattern to it, BTW — but that's not the responsibility of Americans today. What is our responsibility is how our own country and culture operate today, and how slavery impacted such.
