I had no intent of invoking Godwin's law but present circumstance bring me to the precipice of using it.Oh, give it a rest.. Do you see any mention of slaves in that exchange? Since immigrants were considered humans during slavery and slaves were commodities, not humans, the argument ends here.Dumbass, slaves were not immigrants.
So, when you said, "usually willingly" you were just talking shit?
THe opinions of some slavers did not change the reality of the situation, ie the slaves were people.
YOur pretense that it did, is vile beyond belief.
Dehumanization was an integral part of the White Christian American brand of slavery and it preceded, by far, the dehumanization of the Jews in Christian Nazi Germany. The reality is not only have people of color been dehumanized to justify slavery but sub human"races" based on religious preference have been created to justify genocide. Don't get teary eyed on me now and start to invoke the creed of the abolitionist.
The institution of slavery was apart of the social fabric if this nation for several hundred years.
A minority of abolitionists were the only visible proponents of humanity for Blacks. Tell me how vile THAT was? Burt more on point. The only law on those slave ships was slaver's law. And the slave cargo they carried was no more human to them than the other livestock on board. Immigrants???? Hardly... teh ships Captain would have thrown a mug of grog in your face, laughed and walked away saying..."blow me down" this pecker head is crazy!"
And in order to support your smear on Ben Carson, you are accepting and defending that Dehumanization as the reality of the situation.
In this, you are literally siding with the slavers. ANd mouthing their arguments as your own.
I dismiss their arguments as self serving bullshit.
The slaves were humans.
What smear? Carson acknowledged he made a mistake.
