You are aware of the fact that there are different forms of slavery?
The chattel slavery of the antebellum US is uniquely bad in scale and brutality of oppression. This is clear to anyone who has spent more than five minutes studying the topic.
Living in the US means regularly encountering light skinned black people. The reason that most light skinned black people in the US have light skin is because of rape. Systemic rape. After the import ban of the early 1800’s, the U.S. bred its own slaves.
My understanding segregation in the US was actually about white people keeping their kids away from integrated schools (which is a nuance, it wasn’t black school vs white school - and a lot of it was in the south). Slavery is NOT a colour based system. Don’t get me wrong, it clearly ended up being one based on the the US outcome, but we are talking about Human slavery, it’s been happening our entire civilisation, not just the 250 years or so of US existance.
Good job revealing that you know absolutely nothing about US history.

Absolutely, categorically, objectively wrong.
I just saw an ad on Facebook recruiting volunteers to go through old housing contracts to find where they still explicitly prohibit Black folks from living in certain neighborhoods. It was based on Black versus White. In the schools which continue to be de facto segregated based on race to this fucking day, it is based on race.
Get your foot out of your mouth and pick up a basic history textbook.
That’s not me. And you either are or for whatever reason you’re American aligned and as brainwashed/evil as them. But I can see you for what you are, lol, because all this time you haven’t even tried to make an ethical argument/explanation for your attitude. Oh well.
People should stop hyper-focusing on specifics like this, instead, look at the macroscopic view.

Apologies, but I don’t understand what the colour of skin has in relation to this post?
Slavery in the US WAS BASED ON THE COLOR OF PEOPLE’S SKIN. As was SEGREGATION.
Are you not capable of reading or do you just lack any knowledge of the basic history you are trying to argue about?

Dude, this is not a me problem. It’s 100% a you problem.
I don’t have a problem. I have an opinion.
And a serious issue expressing it clearly.
Which part of my opinion is unclear?
Your “opinion” is evidence of your problem. You’re not alone though, that’s probably the average American reaction to being told their truths.
But you said it was unclear. I also didn’t say I was American.

This isn’t a response to what I said being “unclear”. Let’s not deviate from the topic.
