And if that’s your logic will “never forget” still apply to 9/11 150 years from now…? Food for thought ❤️

And people still talk about it in the history books. Your argument that we don’t talk about slavery is nothing but talk. Just a post to get likes before you just don’t like 911.

I never said we don’t talk about it. I was saying some people don’t WANT to acknowledge it anymore “because it’s been so long” So like I said… following the logic… *your* logic Will people still want to “never forget” 150 years from now? That’s quite a long time

Slavery is acknowledge. Like how do you want them to acknowledge it? There’s a holiday for the ending of slavery, there were repercussions after the civil war. Do you not know your history? As it feels like you don’t. Just a post to bash on 911 when people that are still alive from that event.

Anonymous OP 8w

Babe, you’re trying to downplay slavery by saying it happened a long time ago and things like 9/11 and Peal Harbor matter MORE because people from that time period are still alive Like I said, I’m just following the logic YOU provided. In that case, 150 years from now when everyone who was alive during 9/11 passes away, will people still call enough to “Never Forget?” I care enough to “never forget” about slavery even though it happened 150 years ago in the United States, but…

Anonymous #5 8w

Following your logic, people who died as a result of slavery don’t matter as much as the people who died during 9/11 just because no one is alive today from that time period…. Like that is weird…? Your weighing and valuing people’s death’s differently when all are tragic…?

Anonymous #5 8w

actually, if you want to talk about modern slavery, you don’t even have to look outside the US forced labor, performed by captives living under inhumane conditions, compensated at literal slave wages, is not at all uncommon within our prison system. and that can’t even be cleanly separated from the US’ history of racialized slavery when we *know* that the so-called “criminal justice” system in this country disproportionately targets POC, especially black people

And I was never arguing whether or not slavery is acknowledged or not. Anyone can open a history book and see that slavery is definitely a chapter. Now is the TRUE history of slavery, or just the squeaky-clean, censored version of slavery… that’s debatable. But there ARE people in the US who do NOT WANT to acknowledge slavery “because it happened a long time ago” You cannot argue that.

Anonymous #3 8w

of course! it was purely coincidence that out of the many equally “off-topic” posts from within that same hour, this was the only one you felt the need to reply to with “not a confession” (I did scroll back and check) probably you just printed out screencaps of all the posts you deemed “out of place”, taped em to a wall, and then threw a dart while blindfolded to determine which one you should respond to

I agree with the sentiment in the original post. I'm not picking on anyone in particular. Yes i routinely downvote and report off topic posts. Some posts are borderline. I don't care that much but this group is plagued with off-topic nonsense

Anonymous #3 8w

yeah, like I said, purely coincidence! don’t worry, there’s nothing weird or incongruent about claiming to agree with a post and then going on to refer to it as “nonsense” within the very same comment

I don’t know why you keep saying following “your logic” as if you know their logic. You’re walking into the conversation presuming you know exactly what they think without even asking.

Anonymous #7 8w

The logic they provided was in the first god damn comment they left “well one is over 150 years ago and one is 25 years ago and people are still alive” His logic is that the impact and deaths that occurred during 9/11 hold higher value than the deaths that occurred during American Chattel Slavery because they happened more recently. That’s a weird perspective imo. Just because no one’s alive today from that time period doesn’t make their deaths, or slavery in general, less important.

And if we're talking about who "walked into the convo" look at who the OP is... it's not him. Now... I welcome people to comment on my public post because it's public, but again... your statements don't align with your logic.

Anonymous OP 8w

First and foremost, it’s pretty clear you’re not even reading his comments or what he’s actually saying, because if you were, you wouldn’t have such a wildly different interpretation of what’s being said. Secondly, you’re already assuming what MY logic is simply because I’m not blindly agreeing with the words coming out of your mouth. Hello? That’s weird.

Anonymous OP 8w

And regarding my “walking into the conversation” comment, I meant exactly what I said. You walked into an existing exchange with 5, saw that they disagreed with you, and immediately presumed you knew exactly what their logic was instead of actually asking them to clarify. I never said you didn’t start the post or create the conversation.

Anonymous OP 8w

The fact that you somehow interpreted it that way is honestly a pretty glaring reading-comprehension issue. No wonder you couldn’t understand what 5 was actually saying.

You’re so focused on being right that you can’t even comprehend that someone can agree with you on some things and disagree on others. Hopefully college teaches you that understanding someone’s actual argument before responding to it because it is kind of important.

It’s MY post. They walked into MY convo. I’m not arguing with y’all cuz clearly there’s no debate to be had. Making up fake arguments in your head to validate your weird dismissal of slavery. What is there to disagree/agree with? This person arguing that people who died during 9/11 should be valued more than people who died during slavery. Just because people who experienced 9/11 are still alive doesn’t make the deaths caused by 9/11 any more tragic than the deaths caused by American slavery.

Anonymous OP 8w

Like I said before, what I meant by “you walked into a conversation” was that you chose to engage in a conversation with them. I think it’s pretty obvious I was not saying that you interrupted some pre-existing conversation. I genuinely don’t understand how that is so difficult for you to comprehend. Something that basic and fundamental is really that difficult for you to understand? Genuinely.

Anonymous #7 8w

What 5 is saying is that they think recent tragedies matter MORE than previous tragedies because there are more people alive who have personal accounts of that specific event. I disagree and think that's ridiculous to say think 9/11 matters more than slavery. "Never forget" should apply to both. MY ISSUE is that there are MANY American who want to stop talking about slavery BECAUSE IT HAPPENED A LONG TIME AGO. SO I was POINTING OUT how that could eventually happen to 9/11 BASED ON 5’S LOGIC.

Anonymous OP 8w

You keep talking about my “dismissal of slavery” when I genuinely have not said a single thing about slavery in this conversation. I was commenting on the way you were interpreting and responding to 5’s argument. That’s it. You’ve somehow invented an entire position for me and are now arguing against something I never said. At this point, you’re not responding to what I’m actually saying at all. I feel bad for your professors.

Why would anyone want to clarify to someone who is being outright bitch for no fucking reason? You are putting words in people’s mouth every time you make an assumption you’re putting words into people’s mouth. Anytime that you implied that this is your logic that is putting words in people’s mouth because no one has clarified exactly what they feel and think to you. Myself included. Also, typing in all caps doesnt really do anything. It just makes you look like you’re crashing out.

Anonymous OP 8w

You’re literally crashing out because I said you’re being a mind-reader. My entire point, and I cannot make this any clearer, is that you keep trying to assign your own assumptions to people’s thoughts and opinions instead of simply asking for clarification and having a normal adult conversation with them. That has been my only point this entire time.

Anonymous OP 8w

And you’re still proving my point by sitting here telling me that I agree with 5 and that I’m somehow a slavery apologist when I have literally never addressed that topic. I never said whether I agree or disagree with 5. I never said anything about slavery at all. You’re assigning me thoughts and opinions simply because I’m not agreeing with you, while simultaneously proving the exact point I’ve been making about you mind-reading people instead of actually having a conversation with them.

Do not listen to this person they are demonstrating false equivalency. The laws of slavery may have ended at some point but those laws evolved into exclusionary laws like redlining, segregation, share cropping, prison pipeline, over policing of black persons. And no we don’t have laws that make us drink from different water fountains anymore but those laws became negativr social stigmas that can be directly taken from the time of slavery when black persons were not seen as humans or equal

I and many others completely support putting prisoners to free labor. Going to prison is a choice. Any person is free to not make that choice. When people say “slavery” they mean the slavery which made people be born as slaves. Now every single person is born free. That slavery is gone. We can move on from that.

also not true… you should really research things before speaking on them. there are still countries w ppl that are born into slavery. they just started calling it something else. also pls go tell that to all the falsely convicted ppl in our prisons. i’m sure they’d love to hear that they shouldnt be treated like humans.
