I never ignored it. I take a different angle when discussing it with hypocrites like TWSIM. Look at his statements on religion and black people, and urban black people and how "Its the Africans fault for allowing slavery." :discusting:Blackking, I don't really give a shyt about anything you said here. I know for a fact that imperialism, colonialism, wars, etc are part of human history. Dominant groups have always done this to inferior groups.
My problem is when you, and I'm talking specifically about you, focus on one evil (European-based) and ignore the one that came from the people of your prophet.
Islam and the Caliphates were the British Empire and America of their day. They didn't just spread their philosophical ideology, they also spread their culture, language, etc..
To deny this is being absolutely biased.
I'm not going to cry and wine to a Palestinian about "y aren't you talking about so n so who oppressed you"... "why do you focus on Israeli oppression that still effects you" .
If I was speaking to 'real', unbiased people the conversation would go differently. Only then could I discuss the details of world imperialism and Arab conquest. I don't randomly bring up European based slavery. I don't make threads on that shyt. I only talk about it in context of something that is already being discussed, like Western colonization, social stigmas that stemmed from that, current black mental brainwashing from translantic slavery, etc. At those times, its appropriate to bring up European imperialism.
If some muthafukkas who first claim that there is no such thing as race, then diss religion every damn chance they get, then criticize black youth, then talk should about Islam and blacks who practice it........ If that fake person randomly wants to talk shyt about black Muslims and Arab slavery - I know for a fact that that person is fake as fukk, so I adjust the angle in which I speak from.
If one of my brothers wanted to talk about Arab slavery then I would simply discuss the cruelties of it.
It's as simple as that.... if you can't understand that, then I don't know what to tell you. It's the way I am... it's the way most people I know are. Please note that nothing done in history is ignored by me.. but I'm not going to fall into the trap of fake dikkheads, period.
Brothas I know aren't about to discuss "nikkas" around white coworkers. They will discuss that ignorant shyt and the effects on the community around other blacks. It only makes since this way.
