If they were justifying slavery because a few dudes killed some kids?
Uhh.. I don't think you understoood what I wrote.
I'm specifically saying it doesn't matter how many kids one mob of people killed in comparison to the sanctioning and proliferation of chattel slavery for the sole purpose of increasing profits for a few wealthy white men.
Personally, if someone told me 'yeah, slavery was bad but there was this one group of slaves that killed a bunch of kids so actually slavery was kinda justified.' Well, I'd have to disagree and I'd tell them to stop talking to me. And then I'd think what a ......... (censored so I don't get banned)
Who the fuck said anything about a comparison? Killing children is bad. Full stop. Like seriously, just stop there. No comparisons, no deflections, no justifications. No other issues required.
Killing. Children. Is. Bad.
Ridiculous I have to spell that out, what the fuck is wrong with y'all.
Uh I did. That was the whole point of my comment. I made a comparison to the situation going on in Israel. Why did you reply to my comment if you don't care what I'm talking about and don't care to understand?
That's a rhetorical question. I'm blocking you now because you're being disrespectful and I don't care enough to educate you or satisfy your need for attention
Yeah fuck you too, ya fucking child murder apologist.
