I said don't give a shit about whining about the unchangeable past.
The present is changable.
You're the one who doesn't give a shit about modern day slavery happening right now.
Specifically about things that do not affect me.
It's not relevant today. The fact you can sit there and literally not give a shit about modern day slavery today is proof. Don't expect to be taken seriously if an issue today is something you care nothing about, but the exact same issue in the far past is something you claim is 'important'.
Ever hear of a thing called the Senate? The EC? It is very relevant to this very day and that's just the most obvious things. I didn't say I don't care about modern day slavery, I said I don't care what is happening overseas. Then specified US Justice system. Things that affect me personally and my nation are more important than things that do not.
Do not expect to be taken seriously if you do not care about what's happening to your countrymen but expect to guilt us with things that we have no power to stop. AT least no power we would be willing to exercise. I'm not invading such and such country . The last several decades have shown what a bad idea it is to destabalize a foreign power without a plan and even with a plan its difficult to justify.
Incorrect. Plenty of Americans prosper from slavery to this very day. They were in no way paid for in blood by those who died fighting a war to end slavery. Which didn't actually happen. MAybe if you don't know what you're talking about you should stay out of the conversation?One, I'm not American, and two, no American prospers from slavery anymore than the homeless American sleeping in a cardboard box does.
I never brought up reparatioms, and as far as I'm concerned, those were already paid in blood by those who died fighting a war to end slavery.
