They were trying to do under-the-table business with them, in fact lollll America loved the white supremacist ethnonationalism they had going on

Judging by the way the he insists on people who benefit from past harms have no moral culpability in addressing them, I’d guess probably from Europe or maybe East Asia

Here, I highlighted the part where he boasts about his lack of culpability and empathy in yellow, the part where he minimized the harm that he enjoys the downstream effects of (while also ignoring the continuing related injustices that have happened since and continue to happen now) in blue, and the part where he justifies his logic in green

Please don’t assume my gender, I’m not a guy. I also have not minimized anyone’s harm, I acknowledge that America has done and continues to do problematic things, but this country is also a cornerstone of progressivism and has been the key catalyst to countless positive changes. As for empathy, the original post implies I should feel guilt on behalf of the actions of others, committed to a group my family has no relation to. Guilt comes with onus of responsibility. We’re not responsible.

“I have not minimized anyone’s harm, I acknowledge that America has done and continues to do problematic things, but (another paragraph of harm minimization) lol. And your family does indeed have a connection to them. Are you not living in America? That is a connection lmaoooo

How am I connected to black slaves from well over 150 years ago? When my family got to this country well after Brown V Board, end of Segregation, post Martin Luther Jr, post everything

The Ukraine post Soviet would suggest a lack of culpability for the actions of Southern Slavers in the 18th century. Additionally, #4 can correct me if wrong but would likely feel pride in defeat of the Nazis regardless of by whom & possibly even in the defeat of the Soviet. I still didn’t see anything to the effect of enjoying the fruits of slavery or the plight of the Afro-Americans

“How am I, someone who lives in America, connected to American history?” Wow. This is really impressive

Connected & responsible r 2 different things. I think 1 of u means 1 & the other - the other thing

So what’s interesting is, if you go through this thread, I’ve never once used the word “responsible”

It seems implied as if u are suggesting 4 is a beneficiary if not responsible

You don’t need to be responsible to be a beneficiary, though, so you’re half right!

A large amount of Americans immigrated to this country after a large amount of Africans were brought over for slavery. Everyone on this app was born after it all happened. Our generation may not be responsible for those actions, but we shouldn’t be ignorant and ignore the victims of the country we live in and only celebrate our victories.
