I blame the problem on people of yore. What the fuck were they thinking bringing the slaves over in the first place? They fucked up big time by participating in the slave trade. Lazy pieces of shit and now we have to deal with the mess they basically created.
I know I hear you but at this point I will gladly go into debt for 100 years to get them the fuck out of here. Don't care. Let us lose our AAA rating. Let us be paying this off. It's worth it. Believe me. It's worth it.
"Hey, you don't want to work too hard do you? Why don't you buy a slave or two?"
"Hey, you don't want to expend all this effort into yourself do you? Why not watch some porn instead of being the man a woman would be proud to be with?"
The African slave trade predates European involvement by several hundred years. Europeans made use of a market that already existed. The slaves were captured and put up for sale by other Africans - Europeans purchased what was already available.
Africans were not chosen due to any particular racial animus - rather, it was economics. They had the ability to tolerate tropical climates and had resistance to a number of tropical diseases (remember, the vast majority of African slaves went to the Caribbean and South America to work the sugar plantations, not the American colonies).
What you're saying is 100% true, but my point stands. There's an existing market for black tar heroin, hitmen, and underage prostitutes today, but I don't engage in it because it will cause me more problems than it's worth.
I think that the whole practice of buying slaves back then was idiotic, morally wrong, and lazy. And now we have BLM in America, great outcome.
Lazy? What would have been a non-lazy alternative approach given the time period and location? This whole Atlantic slave trade thing kicked off in the 1500s.
And you deciding to avoid black tar heroin isn't really an accurate analogy. That would cause direct harm to YOU, not your descendants hundreds of years from now. Who knows what perfectly acceptable things you're doing today will be judged to be abhorrent by your great great great great grandchildren?
Look, they were super racist and didn’t want their children to mix with black people right? Well what did they think would eventually happen if they imported millions of black people? Again, it’s laziness. It’s like getting drunk every night to make life easier whereas you really should sit down and budget.
The Greeks had invented a proto steam engine and thought it was no more than a toy because they couldn’t conceive of using anything but slaves to do labor. Same shit. Slavery halts societal advancement and causes more problems down the road than it solves today.
Muslims then, like today, have no problem with violence and are shameless about it. It's why they're conquering europe while the natives are trying to meme their police force into doing something.
You really think Europeans have a problem with violence? Maybe they are shameful about it nowadays but shame is a luxury that quickly goes away when shit hits the fan. Europeans burned the whole world down twice within twenty five years. I would not worry about them.

Good point that was really stupid. And at the least after the civil war you fucking send them back.

They sold em, we bought em. Shoulda left that shit in Africa.
He's not referring to Africans.
Oy vey, it's the same tactics as always:
"Hey, you don't want to work too hard do you? Why don't you buy a slave or two?"
"Hey, you don't want to expend all this effort into yourself do you? Why not watch some porn instead of being the man a woman would be proud to be with?"
SHUT IT DOWN
Happy slave merchants.
Bringing slaves to America was the biggest mistake the founders ever made
