At the time, it wasn’t viewed as an immoral act.Slavery has been around as long or longer than prostitution. The act has always been immoral. Those with a lack of decency may view the episodes of bad acts as normal because in your warped mind, it is no big deal. It is and specifically to those affected.
Lack of empathy results in a lack of understanding.
Yes, you are spewing bullshit. Slavery has never been moral. Hence many wars have been fought for freedom and the evil has always eventually been defeated. Slavery is immoral, always has been in the world with good people. That is the disconnect and why you continue to show stubbornness.At the time, it wasn’t viewed as an immoral act.
Are you honestly trying to argue that slavery as a sanctioned practice in Rome wasn’t considered morally acceptable? In Egypt? Persia? China?
Instead of always trying to insult one of your betters, maybe you should take some time to actually understand what people are writing. You consistently miss the points being made as everyone on here has called you on it numerous times.
You’re clearly incapable of separating your morality from an intellectual discussion on historical practices. Again, probably better for you to sit this one out.Yes, you are spewing bullshit.

This isn't about me being right. It is about your small minded behavior and childish reactions when your bullshit and lies are challenged by facts. Deal with or whine, I don't care. Now, I'm going to try a d break 80 hitting this little white ball. Go enjoy life.
WTF are you talking about? North Korea in a thread about reparations and slavery. Brother, you’re shook.

I wasn’t aware the poor controlled and set the acceptable moral standards of Rome, Mongolia, China, Persia, Egypt, Greece, etc. I doubt anyone else is aware of that fact either. Government systems and classes were set up with slavery in mind. The poor sure loved going to the coliseum to watch the gladiators.Slavery was never "morally" accepted. The act was accepted as a "necessary evil". If it was "morally" accepted, then why did Christians (who owned slaves) go out of their way to justify it by claiming they were "saving" the Africans from heathenry? The rich, the elites, the ruling class....yeah, they "morally accepted" slavery......the majority of people, the poor, NEVER did.

You two are morons.

It’s actually getting amusing at this point watching these two contort themselves to try and salvage some facet of the argument. It’s just an outright denial of history, sacrificing logic and reason on the altar of emotion.Religious systems were set up with slavery in mind as well. To argue that it wasn't morally accepted in ancient civilizations is just ignoring the reality of that time, and falsely applying today's standards to that time.
Slavery was a blight on this country. Everyday we should regret what happened. This country would be so much better off if it never happened.
I have simply laughed at the Left's "moral" outrage over slavery in this country that NO LONGER even exists based on nothing more than their current politically driven emotions. No moral "standard", no moral "code" they are using to buttress their argument, only revisionist history and manufactured guilt over something none of them had anything to do with! Again, what "morality" are they using as their standard to be so "morally outraged" over slavery?
Meantime, the current modern day "moral outrage" (infanticide through abortion on demand up to moments before an innocent child is born) draws no criticism or even raises an eyebrow from any of these charlatans. They're silent as lambs while their fellow Leftists cheer for such "immorality" or raw indifference for the sanctity of innocent human Life. Let's not even mention their lack of "moral outrage" demanding someone else's wealth or fruits of labor being arbitrarily confiscated by Government to be given away to folks who either didn't work for it themselves or simply arrive here in this nation illegally and are handed a driver's license along with a Democrat voter registration card!
Where's the "moral indignation" over THAT?
You do realize the clear majority of Republicans poll as being in favor of abortion as well, right? Maybe not.
Non sequitur.Most Dems and Leftists also poll as being opposed to infanticide, but they don't vote that way do they?
Non sequitur.
Non sequitur.
100% of babies aborted after they're born are murdered. 2 minutes before they're born and slaughtered inside their Mother's birth canal it's the same thing!
NOT a non sequitur---infanticide BOTH pre-and post birth, which many radical Leftists currently argue for.
Fact.
My mom's family were Cookes, they settled Jamestown you moron....and that way we could all live in Lilly white bliss. Nice dog whistle. You should know that blacks were here 150 years before your ancestors arrived post civil war. They actually helped to build it. Maybe we would all be better if it was just the English and blacks that were here and not late arriving and downtrodden Eastern and Southern Europeans? Who is the newcomer? Not the ancestors of slaves. Not even close.
First. It's hard to take you seriously with your with little mammy caricature sig there. Let me establish that. Second, I am not arguing for unadulterated abortion rights. Just pointing out the fact that you are blaming "leftist" when in fact your own party supports it in majority. If not, your owning all branches of government until recently would have worked to overturn it. Yet, remained a talking point. Let's not shift the argument.

*bonus question- when would YOU restrict abortion? (None of these candidates want any)

"You realize that I had nothing to do with it, my grandfather came over in the late 1800 after the civil war. Maybe we should ask that any reparations go to pay for the incarceration of these same group of people who commit many more crimes than any group of people in the US."
I'm sorry, Airport. I thought I read that your people arrived in the late 1800s and post civil war and that you had "nothing to do with it". I must be a moron. Also, I must and have missed that the slaves actually having a family structure was whipped out of them for 200 years; thereby producing the sad situation we have now. Would be interesting to see how long your piousness lasted under the whip.
Mammy! Sad. So sad.
Mammy! Sad. So sad.
FYI Black Families remained largely "intact" until roughly the mid to late 60's and the advent of the Left's "Great Society" social Welfare programs in the so called "war on poverty". Fast forward 50 years, and Black families today on average are in worse shape as a direct result of those misguided policies than they were after 150 years of slavery.
I'm with you on a perpetual welfare culture. I think it doesn't do anyone any good. Black or white. West Virginia or LA. But to think that fathers and mothers being separated at the whip, bred and sold didn't have a profound impact on the culture> Whew! That is next level.
As usual, McConnell's comments and actions are horrific and anti-American. This guy and his wife just needs to go if this country is ever going to move forward.
This reparation issue is good intent but in 2019, it should be shelved forever. Move forward people. There is nothing that can be done now to repair or repay anyone for the act of African-American slavery. Let's fix today's and tomorrow's issues like poverty, lack of basic health insurance, improved education for all, lower medical and prescription costs while improving care, the federal debt and a "fairer" tax policy to improve the situation without cutting costs for social programs, infrastructure investments, improved and smarter regulations that is a more balanced approached between corporate America and environment, gun legislation, a safe foreign policy including real trade policies. These are some of the kitchen table issues Americans face. Let's address them
