@Will_Ford76 @KonstantinKisin No. I think you have to keep arguing with them because uninformed bystanders will see these exchanges and will be sold on the winners view.

@KonstantinKisin We've got to get to the point where we stop arguing with these traitors. We've made every argument, we have all of the facts, but none of it matters to them. Their religion (secular or foreign) demands that the west be destroyed. No debate Will change them or save us.

Very good example of the lies anti-Western activists love to tell:
The claim that Britain only paid off slavery compensation in 2015 is false — and the person who spread it has admitted it.
The claim that "British taxpayers were paying off slavery compensation until 2015" went viral in 2018 when the UK National Debt Management Office tweeted it. It was retracted almost immediately because it was wrong. The 1835 government loan used to pay slave owner compensation was fully redeemed in 1938. What continued beyond that were small residual government consolidated bonds — routine Victorian-era debt instruments bundled together with hundreds of other government expenditures from the same period, including the Napoleonic Wars and Irish Famine relief. This lie spread because it was emotionally compelling. It was not true.
Yes, slavery compensation was paid to the owners because that was the only way to achieve abolition. And yes, abolition was the result of campaigning and technological changes but it nonetheless represents a unique achievement of the West: everywhere else, including the Far East, the Middle East and Africa slavery continued for decades, if not centuries, and into the present time.
Note how, as usual, anti-Western narratives deliberately fail to engage in a fair comparison with OTHER empires and civilisations in the world and their conduct during the same time period.
I refuse to hold our civilisation to a fake, utopian standard of perfection while letting everyone else off the hook.

Konstantin, you asked a Black woman where she'd rather live than Britain or America or Canada. Let's take Britain as your example of tolerant, slavery-ending Western excellence. Britain did not end slavery voluntarily. Britain ended the Atlantic slave trade in 1807 after decades of organized abolitionist pressure, slave rebellions across the Caribbean, most consequentially Haiti in 1791, and the growing calculation that wage labor was becoming more economically efficient than chattel slavery in certain contexts. When Britain "abolished" slavery in its colonies in 1833, it paid £20 million in compensation. Not to the enslaved. To the enslavers. The people who had been worked and beaten and raped and bred like livestock for generations received nothing. Their enslavers received the equivalent of £17 billion in today's money, funded by British taxpayers. A debt so large that British citizens were still paying it off in 2015. You read that correctly. British taxpayers were paying off the debt incurred compensating slave owners until 2015. So when you ask a Black woman where she would rather live, the answer she gives, if she says Britain, is not an endorsement of British moral superiority. It is a statement about which available option causes her the least harm. Those are not the same thing. And you know the difference. You just find it more comfortable not to say it.

@semanticity @sasimons It’s a real knife fight out there.

@sasimons I’ll answer that: absurdity. What makes it funny is the absurdity of racism itself. Just picking on someone or something doesn’t make it funny.

a question I would love to see these comedians reckon with: "Racism is so alive and well, so what's funny about that?"

Bobbi Althoff and Sukihana speak on their experience at the Kevin Hart roast, saying there was nothing funny about it and that the whole purpose of the event was to tear down Black people 😳👀 “I was in shock looking around like there’s no way… If you have to go that far to make people laugh, you’re not a comedian, you’re just an a—hole” “what’s funny about George Floyd dying? It was a platform to tear Black people down and say that’s it’s a joke”

What's crazy is she turned down a role in The Woman King for distorting the African culture, even did her own doc. to set the record straight, but had no problem with being in The Odyssey 🤔

An American checks her student loans.
She borrowed $49,548.74.
After 120 payments, she’s paid $25,558.36.
Her current balance? $50,121.33.
After PAYING $25k… she now owes MORE than she originally borrowed.
This isn’t aid — it’s legalized USURY.
