Crabby on the AFDave Thread:
| Quote | Deadman, I can understand your rancor at Dave's (barely) covert racism, his "Deadman claims muh Daddy was settin' on the verandah, sippin' mint juleps while darky was totin' dem barge and liftin' dem bales" spiel speaks volumes about his mindset.
Makes you wonder if his Daddy had those Wai Wai sleeping on four slat beds, rising at the crack of dawn, working (and larnin' the "word") 18 hours a day and consuming an 1100 calorie a day diet with no protein till they saw the "light"?
I can just imagine his reaction if one of his kids were to commit an act of miscegenation with one of the "devolved" races. |
Crabby, this is disgraceful. AFDave hasn't shown the slightest tinge of bigotry; on the contrary, he spent his childhood playing and interacting with kids from other races. Have you read Dinesh D'Souza's The End of Racism? He shows that racism is a modern secular invention to explain the difference in civilisational achievements among societies. Yes, individuals have used the Bible to justify slavery; but what sets Judeo-Christian society apart is the fact that it ended the practice. Heck, slavery still exists in parts of Africa. Have you read about African chiefs sending delegates to Britain to protest the abolition of this tradition? I'll bet you haven't. Hey Crabby, tell me who said:
| Quote | "The widespread revulsion which the hideous institution of slavery inspires today was largely confined to Western civilisation a century ago, and a century before that was largely confined to a portion of British society. No one seems interested in the epic story of how this curse that covered the globe and endured for thousands of years was finally gotten rid of by the West - not only in Western societies but in other societies conquered, controlled, or pressured by the West.
The resistance put up by Africans, Asians and Arabs was monumental in defense of slavery, and lasted for more than a century. Only the overwhelming military power of the West enabled it to prevail on this issue, and only the moral outrage of Western peoples kept their government's feet to the fire politically to maintain the pressure against slavery around the world.
Of course, this is not the kind of story that appeals to the multiculturalists. If it had been the other way around - if Asian or African imperialists had stamped out slavery in Europe - it would still be celebrated, in story and song, on campuses across America."
