@ZimmermanHound yet you pass the stupid test, just because you are fucking an african doesn't mean you are right

[ZimmermanHound]

@Wgivens93 Im derailing? My girlfriend is from Nigeria (that is in Africa) and we are soon "three" in the family. Im not in anyway supportive of ethno-nationalism. When I advocated anything that have to do with "ethno-nationalism" for whites you accuse me for "supremacism" but in the same time you pretty much advocate black nationalism for blacks. That is the definition for "supremacism" by friend and you just failed the "supremacist-test"

[Wgivens93]

@ZimmermanHound im through with you because you are an obvious racist.. you will try to justify your racist, white supremacy views any way possible. Your derailing, and use of inaccurate information shows this. how about you learn something instead of keeping this warped world view

[ZimmermanHound]

@Wgivens93 Slavery was of course not the same, but sometimes even worse in Africa and in United States. I do not defend slavery, I do not defend imperialism nor colonization. I do not defend this post-colonial neo-conservatism. I think the west should protect her borders not other peoples borders. I think the west should restore their own democracy not build nations in the third world.West should take their troops home as all the non-whites should leave white territory to return home.

@ZimmermanHound please no one is saying slavery didn't exist prior to the Atlantic trade but you are being intellectually dishonest to support your twisted opinions. The slavery wasn't the same. Other cultures didn't need Europe to come in and show them the "right way" and to say colonization was any good is extremely ignorant.

[ZimmermanHound]

@Wgivens93 Slavery did exist and it was blacks that traded with blacks. The transatlantic slave trade was by the way for the colonization of Africa and the only thing "new" was that blacks traded other blacks to whites instead of other blacks and arabs. Slavery was criminalized in Mauritania in 2007. That says a lot what kind of societies Africa creates. You sir, is just as Bell Hooks, a black supremacist and a historical revisionist.

[Wgivens93]

@ZimmermanHound no slavery exist in Africa prior to colonization, that is true. Yet, it didn't exist in the same form at all. Europeans used a different form of slavery never before seen they used brutal tatics and STOLE Africans from their lands forced them to work under horrible conditions, destroying economies and cultures established prior to their invasion. Saying colonization was a good thing is a ridiculously racist, and eurocentric answer.

[ZimmermanHound]

@Wgivens93 When it comes to slavery it is common knowledge that Transatlantic slavetrade was unique in western history and was just a tiny part of the history of slavery in Africa and it was blacks that sold their own.In fact, slavery was more common in the rest of the world.Europeans was the first to abolished it. If it was not for colonization, Africa would still trade in slaves and there would still be non-western buyers. From that perspective colonization have been a good thing.

[ZimmermanHound]

@Wgivens93 Well, european colonization rather was positive when it came to create infrastructure and a base of modern economics. Most of the infrastructure and advanced housing is Africa is built by europeans under colonization or through investments (and aid) in post-modern times. With "civilized" I mean the creation of a liberal democracy, capitalism and a modern post-industrial state. What i do not advocate is political imperialism. Africans decide the faith of Africa not we.

[Wgivens93]

@ZimmermanHound you do realize that the reason Africa is "poor" is because of european colonization and the enslavement of Africans. They came in and destroyed their communities and economic structures and eventually left them that way. Its not Africans fault. and what do you mean by "civilized?"
