it really is sad how temperamental University has made our youth. I do find it contingent, though. U can't have a free-flow of ideas without a few of them sounding crazy.

Skin color/ancestry based slavery, and it's inherent white supremacy, was created by 'white' Europeans.

@kmdskit3 Slavery was created by Euro-Whites???????????...hmmmmm?.....I think u need to read a history book...ANY history book!

@IamBane Please re-read my comment. I was very specific in describing a particular kind of slavery originated by Europeans.

@IamBane Funny how most Whites in the US are descended from folks who arrived here between 1890 and 1910. A little late to have gone through the colonial era, the early American republic, the Civil War, the Indian Wars, much less be descended from slaveocrats. Your argument is seriously flawed.

@kmdskit3 so the whole Egyptian culture that predates western European culture never happened? They never built an empire on the backs of slaves? Or how about the Turkish culture? Slavery has been around waaaay longer then what was done in the colonial time period by peoples of many colors to people of many colors.

@BABSDAGGER Same response to @IamBane. Please re-read my comment. I am referring to a particular kind of slavery originated by Europeans.

@kmdskit3 a rose by any other name!

@kmdskit3 lemme guess: u meant the bad kind of slavery, not the good kind!

@IamBane Once again please read my comment. Could you point out where I was making a value judgement on different kinds of slavery? Based on your latest comment it reads like you have accepted my point that skin color/race/ancestry based slavery as originated by Europeans during their worldwide colonial expansion was a departure from previous versions of slavery.

@kmdskit3 u want some dressin' on that word salad?

@IamBane Please come up with something for me to respond to or else I'll assume you're conceding the argument.

@kmdskit3 u might not be smart, but u ARE funny!

@IamBane Still waiting...

@kmdskit3 "was a departure from previous versions of slavery.".....departure from a norm is a change in value..............Now u won't be waiting anymore!

@IamBane Yes, it was a different kind of slavery. Nowhere in any of my comments have I made a value judgement that one version of slavery is better or worse than another.

I did not produce the image. It is not my parade you are trying to rain on. So are you trying to say that the KKK is a male problem, not a white problem?

@DoctoralZombie No, it's a problem. My point is supremacy is a problem. It doesn't matter if it's white, black, brown, yellow, red, male, or female.

@DoctoralZombie What KKK? There's probably not more than a few hundred left. And most of those are FBI and ATF informants. You are fearful of a bogie man that doesn't exist.

I remain hopeful

It is bad.

There is nothing wrong with inclusive language

@DoctoralZombie you are right, there is nothing wrong. But be conscient that just because you do not show a problem, does not mean it disappeared.
You make it dormant, you loose the idea of how big it is, you let it spread under the radar, and when some powerful guy give voice to them, they come back with all power.
So you should make inclusive language be adopted after changing people's mind, because if you change only the surface is the same as put the dirty under the carpet.

I think this may be a specific example for American white supremacy, hence the KKK reference

I found it thought provoking, thought you did too
