Oh the blood of their ancestors is upon them eh? That moronic medieval nonsense? Pity that the vast majority whose ancestors arrived on that continent were dirt poor peasants, many of whom became indentured servants, or meat machines for big industry. But, sure... yeah, Whitey was all slave owners and robber barons. Some of the biggest slavers in the modern era were(and are) of Arab origin. The Arab slave trade went on for longer and over a wider area than the European slave trade did. Who do you think the Europeans were buying slaves from? Never mind local African slavers. Or do they all get a free pass, because of their tan? I hate to break it to you - though I doubt I'll make even a dent in your repugnant and retarded worldview - but happily vilifying one group because of the colour of their skin or ancestry and elevating another for the same reasons is the very definition of racism. And what does that make you? Join the dots if you can.

When I asked the person - who I'd have considered a friend - what made an opinion "wrong" I got "some were anti women" (I distrust Vicky Phelan intensely); "disagreeing that the UK Government are trying to kill poor people" (of course they're not!) and "Jeremy Corybn is God" (no, he's a Trotskyite chancer who would bankrupt the UK in a week - plus I've a Jewish nan, he's an anti-semitic bollix). Point is - there seems to be a set of "criteria" that the left have allowed for discussion - go beyond their parameters and you are called racist and worse.

keffiyeh wrote: » Nice way to murder any opinion you may have, again, fighting an invasion is not terrorism, nor is being pro-Palestinian anti-Semitic. I know of 30+ jewish groups that exist to oppose Israel's invasion. Thanks for displaying your ignorance up front though, it makes you much easier to ignore

keffiyeh wrote: » Ah yes, the democracy that murders medical staff in their uniforms and imprisons poets. Very democratic. And those groups are in no way 'free' to do anything, the past two months in particular have seen lots of people stopped and turned away at the border. Hell, people on freedom boats have been illegally boarded and arrested recently. Nothing free about you if you criticize the Israeli invasion. Do you know what baseless conjecture means?

White Americans still reap from the land that was invaded for them to this day. Not that white people are impervious to poverty or other unfortunate situations of course.https://www.statista.com/statistics/300528/us-millionaires-race-ethnicity/

Elon Musk is successful too... having said that he comes from a family that got rich ripping out and stealing emeralds and ore out of the African earth... do you see the issue here? Their success has been propped up by what came before, and those that suffered then have descendants that are still suffering from it. Absolutely in favour of reparations, of course I am. Depending on what they are of course. I don't think some cash for every person from that demo would do much good, but universities and other infrastructure built in places affected by the kidnap of their locals, like in Sierra Leone for example? Sure. Of course. I would give anyone who wasn't some serious side-eye.

Roseanne is an asshole, Jeong is also an asshole, and the thread was created in bad faith to argue Roseanne should be let off the hook, and boards.ie is populated by Irish people pretending to care about this issue because they're just as racist as her. The End.
