3:31p - Wank about slavery
Kitana starts a topic called "Slavery Wasn't That Bad!" And Other Nonsense. in Godawful Subcultures. It's meant to be about people who insist that the Holocaust wasn't really that bad, &c.
All is pretty normal, until Morganite, a newish member, starts in:
( Other oppresed people have been payed back like people from the Holocost and Kosovo, but Black people... )
Of course, other people tell her to calm down. Tabari says, "if anyone deserves reparitions in the United States, I'd say it would be the Native Americans; they have first call, anyway." Morganite and Yukanobe disagree on whether or not black people always decide that they have it better than the Native Americans.
( The disagreement )
I predict yet another "my education sucks," "no, it doesn't, that's easy," type wank, as people are arguing over whether or not everyone knows about Armenia. (For the record, I only learned about it through American Girl.)
DanAlwyn doesn't get it. I'm one of the targets of this thread I think. I've wasted all my empathy on crisis zones with casualty figures over 50,000. I've burned myself out in the process. I just can't seem to care anymore in a personal manner.
Yes, I'm a horrible human being. You can all yell at me now.
Kitana makes a humorous suggestion about Italians paying people of Celtic descent for enslaving them in the Roman Empire. But Morganite just doesn't get it. But pretty much everyone else who had some hardship in their past got bypased by a darker skinned culture and joined the former oppressors. When was the last time you saw any really poor Italian who couldn't just say they are white and go to college or something? There is no real seperation from Italians and other white cultures. Other people tell her that she's exaggerating, and we learn that she's not whining about white oppressors, Is annoying when white people complain about stuff. You rule the World, shut-up.
