This is a stupid fukking question. There was a time in history where black people were considered 3/5ths of a person and now the President is half black. @Yuffie, the fukk do you think? :what:

This pretty much sums it up. I feel like people are over thinking this question. We used to get LYNCHED for no good reason, have no freedom or basic rights, and sold into slavery.... and people are trying to compare it to today? :what: We couldn't sit in the front of a bus!

Bruhs....just let this pic (and this is keeping it light) sink in.

You didn't bring anything to the argument because everything you listed still happens today, I hope you realize that

And that pic is actually extremely relevant to today and you don't even have to think deep on it

Yeah, or maybe we have it better cuz we're not fukking slaves :beli:


Bruh, we could sum up this thread pretty easily, since its worse today. If we had a time machine, would they like to be transported back to the 1700/1800's. I'd like to hear their answer.


@matt054, would you rather be born during that time? Dont go smart dumb nikka on me either........just answer the question.

I understand where you are coming from. I disagree though. Other than the lynchings, those things were the law back then. They may happen in watered down versions, or maybe not as frequently, but things are not nearly as brutal as they were back then.

nah that's the sociohistorical theory; I'm a history phD student and I've been doing history for a while now plus I work with the guy that created that theory; its holds well when we look at the data and its really based on DU Bois' later work

And actually you were right about Tarantino; he's part of the problem in Hollywoood


Breh, you cool and all, but you partly killed your own argument right here.

now we get to drink from the same water fountain as white people.

:usure:

yes, we're not slaves, we're the most imprisoned now and I'm sure that's because we're just bad people who refuse to take advantage of all these wonderful opportunities and can't stop doing illegal shyt.

no I wouldn't rather be born during that time. guess that means that time is worse by default.

Lol yea im sure. Its not the fountain but the principle behind it. I can walk up to any fountain (not that I would) and drink water from it. People/CACs may not like it, but its not against the law.

The question is whether we have it worse now than ever before. Do you think you're talking to one of these dumb ass posters who's just going to be fooled by your bullshyt? Are you serious? We're not debating whether we have it bad now, we're debating whether we have it worse than EVER. Stop trying to sidetrack the conversation, you're doing it with the wrong dude :camby:

Watered down versions? nah homie, and again, I've already said that my argument is that racial oppression is not better or worse, but DIFFERENT. it has transformed in both mechanization and method because the political economy has changed; no better or worse, but different
