your ignorance reveals subjects you should refrain from speaking on.

The topic was brought up by another person as a “sharp left turn”. That person could basically suggest Black people in the US can’t demand justice for the impact of the slave trade because all of those white people are long dead. And because the people that did really really bad things are dead, that means any negative consequences stop with them. Laziest take I’ve heard yet.

Of course I over simplified my “analysis” because because I knew I was responding to a bad faith actor and wasn’t about to waste an afternoon brushing up on (and providing in depth commentary) on the Philippine-American War to refute their right wing hot take on the impact of slavery on Black Americans today.
