That race card is so easy to play isn't it?

Comment by Habman on February 2, 2010 at 9:47am

Also failed to answer my questions. I wonder why?

@Blackman. ROTFLMAO. Typical blackracist disregard anything that doesn't fit your worldview.

Typical white American. You get defensive when you are reminded of Amerikka's ugly history. Such an ignorant culture of racists.

Its impossible to blame most white people for what their ancestors did because most white people didn't own slaves when slavery was legal in the US.

My point is that we have to get past pointing fingers and blaming groups of people for shit that was done to ancestors they never even knew.

So what is the Afrocentric perspective Blackman? Was there anything approaching a democracy in Africa in 1776 or 1876?

As for slavery was a horrible evil, but it was practiced in Africa much longer than in the US, and in fact it still is in certain areas.
So what are you attempting to say with your HIStory comment? That is wasn't perfect, I am in full agreement, but it was a hell of a lot better than a lot of other places in the world at that time. And judging the past based on the standards of today is mentally bankrupt.

Habman, so what is your point? There were Jewish Nazi collaborators and Jewish war criminals. Jews profitted from the trans-atlantic slave trade.

It was a democratic nation judging it from a historical perspective. Sorry but in that time African slaves, indigenous people, Irishmen, women... and a whole lot of other group were considered PROPERTY, not citizens. It sucks but that is the way it was.

And things weren't any better back in Africa in the 1700's for the majority of people either now were they? One must remember who started the slave trade on the Ivory Coast. It wasn't white farmers in Virgina was it?

As cruel as the system was it wasn't just delusional white eurocentric folk that were involved in the slave trade in fact there are still families on the coast in Africa who's wealth is traceable to their involvement in the trafficking of humans.

It's hard to simplify the complex issues that are being discussed here, but let me take a stab at it.

On the most basic level, anarchism is simply believing that the individual should be sovereign over the group, that cooperation is better than coercion, and that ownership should be based on possession and use rather than on property entitlements. Using these definitions, an "anarchistic society" is an oxymoron, because anarchism starts with the individual works from the bottom up.

It also should be obvious from the above that anarchism is not a utopian philosophy at all. It's not based on designing a perfect society from the top down, but on putting checks and balances on all forms of power by individual action and voluntary cooperation among individuals.
