RE: Are White People to Blame for Slavery?|An Informed View of Slavery
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I never heard of white people being enslaved by Africans, but nothing surprises me. Humans were pretty brutal for much of history. It really weighs heavy that entire cultures are still suffering from slavery today though, and it weighs heavy that so many people (white, black and other) who don't see brothers and sisters when they look at people from other races.
Some people would be offended if I say "I don't see color", so I can only say "I only see color if you want me to", insofar as it influences someone's experience.
I want to see a world where we are all mindful not to colonize each others worlds without permission (as nations or as individuals). I also hope to see Africa elevated to a place where we from the the west can stop talking about "poor African children" and start talking about brilliant African thinkers and artists (not to mention good African friends). I wonder if crypto will make that inevitable. I am already starting to see that world take form here.
Yea, enslavement of White people is very little known and talked about, the writer of that book really aimed to curb that.
Cool, what you said about color. There are times when it is relevant and times when it is not, but in general sticking to stereotypes is the ignorant man's way.
With the ending of slavery of any race of people, the standing up against Hitler and all the victories against discrimination the world over, it seems mankind's eyes are now open to the evil of blatant colonization and bullying (Emphasis on 'blatant' because other hushed forms still thrives in our world today), and mankind seems to be gravitating more towards equality and harmony, hopefully the momentum never slows.
Brilliant African thinkers and artists have always been there, also another not so well known and talked about matter, but hopefully it replaces the more well known narrative of poor African children. Also, for a fact, Africa doesn't even need crypto to come out on top, Africa has a lot of natural resources like diamond, gold, oil, etc but Africa hasn't overcome all the in-fighting amongst themselves, African overlords/oligarchies are the ones selling Africans short over here, sharing the wealth amongst themselves and living large around the world without developing the Continent and distributing the wealth.
Crypto like you said, though, would help and has already started helping in distributing wealth and opportunities, I see it here too. Hopefully things keep getting better from here on.
