Nobody is claiming otherwise.

"Well, Christianity & Western civilization were also, to a large extent, responsible for promoting slavery before Lincoln ended it."

The way you wrote this it's as if Christians invented or amplified slavery, when instead they took what was then a universal practice and treated slaves as fellow human beings and treated them better than any others in the world. So much so that many slaves did not even want to leave their plantations after they were freed.

The famous pictures you see of a black slave with his back all scarred up, what they don't tell you is he was guilty of assault and rape.

Likewise, many of the southern lynchings of blacks were because those individuals were guilty of violent crimes, rape, murder, etc. and they did the same thing to white criminals all the time.


The boomer generation basically brainwashed everyone into believing southern whites were pure evil who enjoyed tormenting black people and that black people were purely innocent victims. This outrageous brainwashing has persisted in education and mass media until only recently.

I neither stated nor implied that.

Actually, no they didn't.

Many of them were "guilty" of trying to escape to freedom.

Interesting how you're trying to justify lynching here.

The South did wage war on the Union in order to preserve slavery. Have your forgotten that little detail?

then I guess you didn't have a point to make.

Actually, no they didn't.

sure, so many former slaves wanted to stay with their former masters because of how horribly they were treated... that makes sense.

Many of them were "guilty" of trying to escape to freedom.

and the famous super scarred-up black man was guilty of rape.

Interesting how you're trying to justify lynching here.

?
it was a common method of capital punishment at the time. white criminals were lynched as well.

"waged war on the union?" funny wording.

they reluctantly went to war over it because their economy was structured around it. what's your point? south evil, north good?

Nothing is keeping them there. That ended a long time ago.
You mean other then abject poverty and lack of prospects in other locations?

Doesn't it get old blaming the evil white man for every evil in the world?
No, what gets old is people misconstruing everything to make themselves the victim and then blaming everyone else for a "victim mentality ". No one is claiming white men are evil so kindly spare us the poor me routine.
Yes the great Manifest Destiny has been good for the world. The world today would be worse off without it.
Oh? How would the world today have been worse off if the really settlers had dealt fairly with the native Americans?

Stop judging the world of the past by your modern morality.
Not going to happen. Slavery is wrong. Genocide is wrong. Not going to excuse those things simply because people in the past had different morality.

I don't see you using that morality to judge how the Natives treated each other. Or how the Africans and Muslims treated their fellow men. Nope it's only the white guys that matter.
Of course some of those are wrong. Just like how some of the actions of modern India are wrong. Just because they arenot brought up regularly does not mean they are not judged as wrong.

I'm not sure why you keep bringing that up.

But 100% accurate.

Slavery bad, lynching bad.

again I wonder why you are skeptical about this... this was normal behavior for pagans all over the world.

even the highly intellectually advanced greco-roman pagans were extremely brutal to outsider human groups
I'm honestly wondering why your posts evidence a very negative bias towards pagans and a long list of negative assumptions that I've never heard before. I would think that the desire for peace and rest and freedom from torture are rather universal human desires, and they might carry the day some of the time. Since we're talking about history, I just don't want to make conclusions about people from the past without evidence or data to support my statements.

Yea, it's called Christian civilization.

and you should be thankful.


Or if you want, you could go live in Haiti and enjoy a life unburdened by the 'evil white man'.
You do realize that the vast majority of Haitians are Christian right?

Right, white/european people are only evil if they want to collectively preserve their ethnicity, right?

Stormfront is that a way. ----->

Interesting, so you can't answer yes or no?


If someone asked me "do you think homosexuality is a sin/evil?"
Instead of deflecting, I could just simply answer Yes.


But when one's religion is based around the idea that the preservation of european ethnicity is immoral/evil.. they seem hesitant to come out and admit it. Why is that?

it is estimated that 50-80% of Haitians incorporate some elements of Vodou belief or practices into their religion, particularly with Catholicism. This reflect Vodou's colonial origins, when enslaved persons were obliged to disguise their traditional loa (lwa), or spirits, as Catholic saints, as part of a process called syncretism. As such, it is difficult to estimate the number of Vodouists in Haiti

Can you rephrase that in 14 words?

The USA is not an ethno-religious state. There is nothing to preserve.
If someone asked me "do you think homosexuality is a sin/evil?"
Instead of deflecting, I could just simply answer Yes.
Why am I not surprised.

European isn't an ethnicity or race. Its regional designation.

Third poster to deflect instead of answering a simple question.

The USA is not an ethno-religious state. There is nothing to preserve.

The USA is majority European descent.

So I'll ask again, is it okay if the majority of Americans would prefer to keep it that way, or is that evil/immoral/bad?

Why am I not surprised.

European isn't an ethnicity or race. Its regional designation.

So is it okay if people that descend from that regional designation would prefer to share a community with other people who descend from that regional designation?

Can you offer a straightforward answer, or just more nazi jokes?

What's funny is that I don't even care that much about "preserving whiteness"

As a Christian, what I do care about is false religion.

The Postwar Consensus is a false religion based around a fake sin that says that white people who prefer to live around white people are super bad and evil. (When in reality it's just normal behavior for all races/ethnic groups)

Western society has been running on this fake religion for decades, meanwhile actual Christianity has been gradually cast aside. As long as you're not a "racist" then you're a good person.

"Homosexuality, P*rnography, Abortion, Atheism, Divorce, All OK! Just don't be a racist!!!" This 20th century religion can't die fast enough.

That's easy. I don't think conversing with you will be worthwhile.

As someone who lives in that "regional designation", I'd like to put in that even we don't want to share a community with other people from our "regional destignation", by and large.

Many people don't even want to share a community with the people in the neighbouring city.
