There were black people that owned slaves, and in fact many if not most of the slaves in the Atlantic Slave trade were captured and sold to Europeans by other Africans.
Africans took Europeans slaves in the Barbary coast slave trade.
Most importantly, only a small minority of white people in the US owned slaves or had the power to effect the policy. Should an entire race be judged by the actions of a few?

Haha, this sounds familiar to an argument I had on Patheos a month or so back. The rebuttal I got back was essentially that black slavers only bought black slaves to save them from the slave trade (a ludicrous notion), and that the slavers in the Barbary coast slave trade weren't black - because whose modern-day residents of what used to correspond to the Barbary coast now look something like this. (Of course indigenous Berbers look like this.)

I also mentioned the Moors (who very active during that period including at Barbary). (You know. From that scene in True Romance. This.) He didn't even know there was such a thing as a Moor. He thought I was making it up.

It was a very difficult conversation to have, especially when my whole point was to establish that black people also kept slaves and white slaves at that.

That's a pretty racist argument, that whole "non-whites lack power" thing.

[DrokkIt]

Whenever I read these kind of comparative analyses of what is racism, I can't help but think that severity isn't really much of a useful qualifier. I'd agree that being called a cracker is less deleterious than being transported across the world into slavery, but I have to think they are both not good things.

So many people are fucking clueless on issues such as slavery and colonialism. I have met people who are stunned to find that there are aboriginal people in say, Japan (the Ainu), and that the Japanese shat on them for centuries. They have been brain washed into thinking slavery and colonialism is exclusively a white, European thing. Every single civilisation on the planet has engaged in it, and yet, there is so much denial. Oh, and these people who usually very touchy when you bring up the Arab slave trade. The little snowflakes can't comprehend that people belonging to the religion of peace had one of the biggest and cruellest slave empires known to history. Doesn't quite fit their narrative.

Well it's apparent that not all blacks in the US purchased slaves for personal reasons like freeing friends or family, but also did so for profit motives. Henry Louis Gates is hardly a racist whitesplainer:
http://www.theroot.com/articles/history ... hey_exist/

As far as who sold the slaves to the slavers in the first place, the history is clear to everybody but Gazi Kodzo and his lunatic friends, from the pit of all lies (wikipedia):

The vast majority of those who were enslaved and transported to the New World, mainly on the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, were West Africans from the central and western parts of the continent who had been sold by other western Africans to western European slave traders, with a small minority being captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids, and brought to the Americas.

I'd love to have Tony blacksplain to me why I am somehow responsible for the sins against black people even though my ancestors come from a part of Yurp that was entirely uninvolved in the Atlantic slave trade and the only places they and I have lived in North America were areas that had zero involvement in it.
Of course, if you have white skin, you automatically are powerful and privileged and guilty of victimizing black people. And if you have black skin and believe this, you cannot be a racist.

If a black person calls a white person a ‘cracker’, is that the same as a black person being forcibly ripped from their home country and brought to the United States to serve-unwillingly-as a slave for a white landowner?

I shall ponder this all day seeking hidden meaning.

Or. Or I'll chalk it up as the wisdom of a poor, bitter, unemployed black barman seeking solace in SJ victimhood.

Hmmm... from what I had read - and I didn't look too deeply mind - Mrs Korryn was holding a gun when the police gained entry and the loving mother kept her five year old beside her throughout an armed standoff with the police.

So about this stabbing in London... I am willing to accept that this attack could fall into the category of "delusional headcase runs amok with with a knife" and that it's unfortunate that the perpetrator is of Somali descent. Either way, it all goes into the hate mill where it gets made into the Sausage of Bigotry (ht Tony Parsehole I).

What I don't get is how is it that the murdered woman has been publicly named when her assailant has not? As they tased him at the scene of the crime, I assume they must have a pretty good idea wherher he was actually responsible for the attack.

Forget it, even if in this case it was true the MSM have been lying to us so long nobody but gullible morons are going to believe it.

In these kind of debates, it's always fun to bring up the Anglo-Ashanti wars. From Wikipedia:

The Ashanti were not happy with the British attempts to abolish slavery, a highly profitable trade for the Ashanti.

Kofi Anan is Ashanti. Which means he is descended from slavers. The shitlord!

Yeah so we are in about the same age group. Like I said I read some of the books because of the wife. I was allowed to stop after one or two because she didn't like how I completely picked the plot apart.

I doubt I would have enjoyed the books if I was 12 because boy adventurer was never something that appeared to me but I can see why 12 year olds like it. If you are 35 and up (at this point) this really shouldn't be a thing.

Perhaps I was responding to a quote of an older quote.

Anyway, the original said:

What I don't get is how is it that the murdered woman has been publicly named when her assailant has not?

Well, why the fuck do you think?

1) Because the victim was a middle class American, and the police would have made it a priority to let her family know. From there it is a short step to an (un)official press release.

2) Because the victim, as a tourist, probably had friends in the locale who knew what had happened. Shocked people will tell a vulture journalist anything.

3) Because the killer seems to have been mentally ill and acting alone. It happens quite a lot in big cities, whether you want to blame CNN for a coverup or whatever. Such a person is less likely to have friends and family rushing to the scene to provide information to journalists.

As they tased him at the scene of the crime, I assume they must have a pretty good idea wherher he was actually responsible for the attack.

So? For all we know a merry old British bobby might have stood and watched him slash and slash, then tazered him. Why does that lead automatically to them knowing his name? We don't all carry reliable ID at all times.

So is anyone else looking forward to the Olympics?

I enjoy all the fight sports.

I'm doing my own little self-boycott of the Olympics this year. I've kind of had it with the corruption and destruction that goes along with these international sporting events.

Not to get on a soap box and say that everybody has to follow my lead. But I think the silence on these issue by SJW types is deafening.

Any recommendations for a good Southern Gothic novel? (I've already read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil).

The killer has been named. wtf are you talking about?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... rnage.html

Perhaps I was responding to a quote of an older quote.

Anyway, the original said:

What I don't get is how is it that the murdered woman has been publicly named when her assailant has not?

Well, why the fuck do you think?

1) Because the victim was a middle class American, and the police would have made it a priority to let her family know. From there it is a short step to an (un)official press release.

2) Because the victim, as a tourist, probably had friends in the locale who knew what had happened. Shocked people will tell a vulture journalist anything.

3) Because the killer seems to have been mentally ill and acting alone. It happens quite a lot in big cities, whether you want to blame CNN for a coverup or whatever. Such a person is less likely to have friends and family rushing to the scene to provide information to journalists.

As they tased him at the scene of the crime, I assume they must have a pretty good idea wherher he was actually responsible for the attack.

So? For all we know a merry old British bobby might have stood and watched him slash and slash, then tazered him. Why does that lead automatically to them knowing his name? We don't all carry reliable ID at all times.

Some reasonable points there, although I am pretty sure the police knew who the dude was 10 hours or so ago, because they had already made it clear that they didn't believe there was a link to a terrorist group. I'm of the opinion that they wouldn't risk making a statement on something this sensitive if the guy was a Joe Doe. And when I wrote the OP, neither the Guardian, the Telegraph, or Google News had shared the attacker's name.

His victim's name was widely reported on. I agree that her immediate family had probably been informed at that point, but her death likely came as a shock to colleagues and friends who may have learned about it because they read a news story. Don't you think that's a bit fucked? I do.

And no, I'm not suggesting that it's a massive conspiracy. I suspect that they wanted to get as much of the investigation done as possible before sharing details because once his name was out there, hordes of reporters and internet detectives would begin looking for friends, family and any trace of an online presence, and you know how messy that can get and b) a delay might mitigate some of the knee jerk reactions that an attack like this could provoke,

It's a criminal case. Obviously the UK authorities are obliged to release the dude's name and other info, so I wasn't suggesting that this was a grand cover-up. I wasn't joking when I said:

I am willing to accept that this attack could fall into the category of "delusional headcase runs amok with with a knife" and that it's unfortunate that the perpetrator is of Somali descent. Either way, it all goes into the hate mill where it gets made into the Sausage of Bigotry (ht Tony Parsehole I).

.

My point was that it looks bad, particularly when they murdered woman's name is front-page news. It's a communications failure by the police. They need to be playing a much smarter game because in case you haven't noticed, the political future of Europe and the United States is going to be decided by the public's perception of the threat of terrorism and concomitant responses by today's governments rwther than on the actual risk itself. That's always been true, it's just the shocks are coming faster and the stakes are higher than they have been since the 1930s.

So wind your neck in, Double Aitch Oh. Dave Dodo got what I was driving at - just be thankful the dude's first name wasn't Mohammed.

If whites'd had the good sense only to enslave PoC Africans rather than the black ones, that would have made us totes even and we'd all be living in racial harmony right now.

You know, the scary part is that somewhere out there someone reads this and thinks it makes complete sense.

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole.

Or if you have read that then Flannery O’Connor's Wise Blood.

And yes, there was a somewhat comparable background radiation of terrorism in the 1970s, it's just that most of the brown-skinned terrorism stayed in brown-skinned countries (or targeted Israel, which remains a baffling enigma to the general public outside the Mid-East because it's sort of foreign) and white-skinned terrorists mostly held up their end of the bargain in Europe and the US. Those were different times; no one had collapsed any American skyscrapers, the Russians were the existential threat, and you could still smoke on planes.

Things are moving slowly on the Amy front.

$10 two days ago and another $10 22 hours ago.

The trad. Myers, SZvan, Orbit signal boost is needed. Oh. That's right.

It's interesting that there's hardly been any acknowledgement of the Carrier suit. If I didn't know any better, I'd think they were all obidiently adhering to advice from their counsels.

While I won't be joining in your communistic expression pure un Americanism, I do agree with your point.

I think they hosing these poor ass countries and just keep them somewhere that isn't going to go bankrupt hosting them.

Of course that just means I am a first world shit lord.

To be fair, Nrazil was on the up-and-up economically when they bid for the games, so I suspect it was a decision made when the country was seen as a plucky contender. It will likely resume its climb with better management, despite the Olympic games. I agree with you if you're talking about Souh Africa - the games were an expense that country should not have afforded.
