I could have been an engineer or a doctor in Africa, in one of the empires or republics there.
YET I am in the USA and I am none of these. Why? Instead I am none of these. Because fucking crackers, here's why
Your ancestors colonized and enslaved my ancestors. You continue to reap the benefits from this to this very day. You invaded our countries and stole our resources and destroyed our cities.
You are the reason I don't have a job. You are the reason I don't know my father. You are the reason I dropped out of school.
your ancestors must have been truly advanced if they were all enslaved.
Dominic Bennett
What the flying fuck is this? Some type of live art performance?
Daniel Turner
Why does this picture ignore 1,000 years of the Arab slave trade?
Joseph Hill
Thats life bitch, survival of the fittest Be a man and come take back whatever it is you think we took Oh whats that? Youre not gonna do shit about it? Ya thats what i fuckin thought, faggot Stop cryin, pussy, we won you and your weak pathetic ancestors lost
I do the same thing after taking a shit I gotta splash some pee pee on it
Alexander Fisher
act of formal apology for slavery
Lucas Young
Your ancestors were the scum of the shit country you come from. The rich in your own country sold you off as slaves. Not our fault.
Matthew Johnson
>unironically believing it's okay to trade human life as property Imagine being this sociopathic.
Camden Torres
God, look at those curves... perfectly chiseled for BBC. I hope her child is black as a shadow.
Gabriel Young
So you are a failure and found us to blame for your own retardness. I know 2 people from Africa who made it and now living a happy life. Blaming others for your own failures are fucking lame, you faggot.
Logan Reyes
Do you think the Mohel will still suck after its circumcision?
Joshua Ramirez
Not going to apologize for something I did not commit myself. Was the Colonial Age shit? Yes. Does it impact your current life? no.
There are enough black individuals who rose to the top strata of our society, and there are millions of white underachievers, too.
If you want to know why you are where you are, look in the mirror and ask yourself. We live in a mertocrazy, so if you end up at a place that you don't like, you either lack the skillset to do better, or the motivation to have shown it when you had the chance.
All I can say is that buying into ideologues trying to paint you as a victim of circumstance will do nothing to improve your situation. Handouts in form of reparations, or forced apologies will just reinforce your role as lazy underachiever. If you want to improve your situation, get your shit together, look for a job, improve your education and therefore increase your worth on the jobmarket more and more until you get paid enough to pay for the lifestyle you think you deserve.
With the whole corona situation going on, you should have enough time to take online courses and seminars. If you waste this time with just sitting there and complaining on some shitty image board, that's entirely on your own, again.
Wyatt Peterson
>Was the Colonial Age shit? was not
Aaron Gomez
I think we are all from Africa originally!!
Just different journeys , different time lines , have a look at your dna we are all linked ..
Henry Morgan
?
Nicholas Walker
oldest human remains have been found in northern greece. seems africa wasn't the cradle of life afterall.
Ethan Clark
the Colonial Age was actually golden age of human civilisation spreading modern medicine and technology saved tons of people all those african shithole countries should thank us for that
Grayson Thomas
So, good sir, would you prefer a timeline in which China invafed you first?
Brody Carter
I think they were all connected at that time , greece is right next to Africa
while it indeed did all that, it also supported slave-trade, robbed local cultural sites, subjugated local populations violently, and formed a flow of goods and wealth that primarely favored the empire centrals.
Spread of technology does not outweight the spread of corrupt feudal inderests. And it wasn't a golden age for these nations, either. Even their own populations suffered under their feudal masters, who were the only real profiteers in that situation.
especially as a republican it should make you projectile vomit.
Adam Williams
>it also supported slave-trade Well when you overlook the whole "colonizing to push own laws to end the west african arab slave trade which arabs refused to do" then sure.
Brayden Nguyen
well, one population moved south, the other north. So they were connected at some point, but interestingly the human population that went for harsh winters, dry forrests and swamp flats thrived more than the one heading for warmth and abundance.
When they met again, one population sailed the oceans, the other succumbed to cannibalism and tribalism.
So did all the black people who are doctors in the US win a lottery or some thing?
Or is it that your dumb ass parents made piss poor choices? Choices that put you at a disadvantage? Choices that were further exacerbated by your own dumb choices.
And now you blame the every one but your self and your parents for your stupid choices.
Ryder Ramirez
Moving the goal post? It wasn't even a topic until you brought it up, so I hardly overlooked it, it simply wasn't relevant.
if it satisfys your nu-brain, I can crap all over sandniggers and their despicable culture all you want. Did you know that they continue to use slavery to this day?
Get a grip and stay on topic, will ya? It's like arguing with libtards.
Christian Nguyen
>it simply wasn't relevant. Colonialism aiding in the ending of the west african arab slave trade wasn't relevant to your argument that colonialism supported the slave trade.
Go on, tell another one.
Jack Watson
And why is that not okay? "bUT wHaT iF yOu WerE a sLaVE?" That would suck, but why should I care about something I am not? That's what is wrong with you, people, you care too much about shit that doesn't have any effect on YOUR life.
Levi Myers
You realize that your ancestors are still in Africa putting their local tribes into slavery?
Andrew James
I know, right? I can't believe those African sociopaths. Selling your own people. How awful!
Isaiah Kelly
You're acknowledging that environment can influence behavior, yet for some reason arbitrarily limiting that to the parents. What about the fact that the grandparents of a black person existed in a system that actively prohibited them from gaining wealth or satisfactory education, leading to a cycle of being born poor and grown up to have kids who are born poor.
Julian Price
also >Well when you overlook the whole "colonizing to push own laws to end the west african arab slave trade which arabs refused to do" this did simply not happen. No european force colonized to free slaves from arabs. If all, they colonized to secure resources and influence FROM arabs.
Jacob Wilson
Uh, Pangaea broke looooooooong before there were people, cunt.
Nathan Green
see unless you can come up with solid historical sources, this is just you trying to bend reality to your liking.
Aaron James
And local tribes not only sold slaves, but they also begged whites to intervene in their wars against other tribes while whites were only really interested in keeping other whites out. Funny eh?
Jace Scott
cool, keep blaming other people the weird thing is that the nature of your blame makes it clear you think white people are superior to you
Andrew Watson
>No european force colonized to free slaves from arabs. Never said that, but nice attempt. It did stop the arab slave trade however. The trade which had been going on for 1,000 years but nevermind that WhItEy ToOk PaRt
James Miller
Is this an actual photograph? Because I'm pretty sure the water would seek the lowest point due to gravity and fill in the hole which is in the shape of Africa. The there's displacement, the water volume which fills the hole would lower the average volume in the rest of the world, cause all of the shorelines to change the familiar shapes of the continents into barely recognizable, other-worldly, lines. I am fairly certain that this photograph is shooped, as I can tell by the pixels, and should not be regarded as fact. On a side note, I don't understand why North America and Europe have chickun nuggets stacked all the way into the atmosphere. I do believe this is physically impossible also.
Yea, real funny how you tout known historical facts like something someone tried to hide. You realize that this just reinforces the original statement "the age of colonialism was shitty", right?
Nicholas Cox
Not our fault you guys couldn't get past the most rudimentary of technology and tactics. You had the same amount of time as everyone else, and couldn't even get past the stone age.
Also? Not us that enslaved you. You got enslaved by other africans, we just bought you from them for cheap because it cost us basically nothing. And then you had 150 years of freedom, and 60 of guaranteed equal rights. Your daddy issues are your daddy's fault for leaving, not ours for him being weak.
>Never said that, but nice attempt. I literally quoted you. Don't have time to argue with a complete asperger. Next.
Angel Lopez
Really funny how the reparations crowd isn't rushing to get apologies and money from the Arab world or Jews who dominated the western slave markets. Support it would be racist to go after the largest profiteers eh?
John Cruz
Fuck off nigger. It's time you people took some responsibility for your own shitty situations instead of blaming white people.
Adrian Garcia
>I literally quoted you. >literally
Ryder Jenkins
oi, faggot! learn to read, will ya? Maybe then you'd realize that I argued AGAINST the reparations crowd, too.
Now pull the dildo out of your arse and scramble.
Jaxon Ramirez
You have serious problem. Africans were sold by Africans
Jose Nelson
Are you telling me that colonialism didn't end the west african slave trade?
Jace Rodriguez
>responding in support is responding against Hmm
Jonathan Taylor
>You invaded our countries and stole our resources and destroyed our cities. Human appear in east Africa 2 million years ago. Gets "invaded and destroyed" by the U.S. that's 250 years old and Europe that's 7,500 years old. Want to know why? You awesome country still lives in mud huts after 2 million years.
