@realcaseyrollins @TheMadPirate @ChristiJunior @PorkCow @leyonhjelm @issdeinschnitzel @Baron_Rotterdam @Ricotta what history (and the Left) has taught me is that A word is what you make it. Negro used to be the socially acceptable way to ID a brotha. Black, was the slur. It wasn't until that one song came out with that one guy saying "I'm Black and I'm proud" did the tides begin to turn. Now Black is on the census and saying Negro makes people look at you like you're some kinda weirdo.

Perhaps one day in the future Nigger will be one the census and black will be weird. Maybe we'll have a new ultra-slur to take the place Nigger once had, Like Dindu or Jogger. Maybe two new people will have this same conversation about it, too. Spooky
@leyonhjelm @Baron_Rotterdam @ChristiJunior @PorkCow @Ricotta @issdeinschnitzel @realcaseyrollins i think they could have overcome that if enough people had gone. They didn't have enough people to hold the land against the natives and were quickly overwhelmed. In the 1870s they didn't need a whole lot of book-learning, just builders and farmers. The smart ones could have governed it and taught the others, and the dumb ones could have done the massive amounts of manual labor that was required. They just didn't get a big enough population or enough support to keep it going unfortunately.
@Grandtheftautism @realcaseyrollins @Baron_Rotterdam @ChristiJunior @PorkCow @Ricotta @issdeinschnitzel the problem isn't Liberia, the problem is when they stayed, they weren't educated. Former slaves are often not equipped to handle or cherish liberty unless they earn it and fight for it.
@realcaseyrollins @Ricotta @ChristiJunior @leyonhjelm @PorkCow @issdeinschnitzel @Baron_Rotterdam Abraham Lincoln planned to send them all to Libeeia but he was assassinated before he could do it. I expect that the people of Kansas were betting on Liberia too.

The saddest thing is that Liberia could have been a huge success and improved conditions for all Africans, but it was smothered in its infancy. I was never wild about the idea of forcing people to go there, but with the proper backing, people would have gone willingly en masse. A tragedy really.
@r000t I missed the hidden CW text from @KitsuneAlicia@octodon.social

How can someone be this DENSE?

LIBERTARIANISM IS THE ANTITHESIS TO AUTHORITY, DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO READ A POLITICAL COMPASS?!
@ChristiJunior @Grandtheftautism @Baron_Rotterdam @PorkCow @Ricotta @issdeinschnitzel @leyonhjelm @realcaseyrollins They're spoiled fucks. Our ancestors weren't perfect but they endured conditions far worse than anything we could imagine and paved the way for us to have all the blessings we do.
@Grandtheftautism @Baron_Rotterdam @PorkCow @Ricotta @issdeinschnitzel @leyonhjelm @realcaseyrollins A lot of anti-racist canon has become Problematic for various reasons. Hell, you get a lot of SJWs talking shit about what backwards beliefs the 1840s and 1850s abolitionists had, because Tumblrtards are obviously the superior advocates for "social justice" compared to people at times risking life and limb for the cause.

The revolution eats its own.
@realcaseyrollins @ChristiJunior @PorkCow @leyonhjelm @issdeinschnitzel @Baron_Rotterdam @Ricotta I get in the case of Trump supporters aiming to "own" the insult and by that turning it into a "badge of honor", since by then the insult loses all it's social power.
I do not get black people calling themselves the n-words only to act all offended when someone outside their demographic group says it. It's kinda hypocritical in my view.
