to be fair, that "fulfilling relationship" is super gross and abusive.

I somehow doubt that is the problem that these guys have, however.

He thinks that the Confederate States are not responsible for slavery because they were only unified as the Confederate States of America for 5 years. Before 1776 it was Britain's fault that those slaveowners had slaves and until the Confederacy was formed it was the rest of America forcing them to have slaves, obviously.

I need to condense an essay on the broader even dumber issues. Like who the southern states were really upset that they couldn't send slave hunting parties into northern states to collect runaway slaves (and any free black person they came across)

or that they couldn't transport slaves through the northern states because an escaped slave there was a free man. They really wanted northern states to be subject to southern states slave laws.

My internal personal definition of "swarthy" has always been bronze-skinned, hirsute, and swashbuckling. Zorro is swarthy. Sinbad (literary figure) is swarthy. Bollywood heroes are swarthy.

If it makes you feel any better, that fits the definition I formed reading/watching poo poo as a kid too. Swarthy always amounted to “kind of a pirate/mercenary in a cool way” where my brain was concerned.

I remember reading somewhere that if you know a little bit about the Civil War, you think it was about slavery. If you know a little more, you think it was about state's rights. Then if you know a little bit more, you come to realise it was about state's rights - specifically their rights to own human beings as property, and that it was just them throwing a loving shitfit along the lines of "well how the gently caress are we supposed to live like kings except on the back of untold human misery?!?"

So yeah,

Yes the civil war reason transcends from "slavery" to "wide array of social and economical reasons" back to "Oh right slavery"


Does anyone remember that Simpson episode with Apu does his citizen test and that's pretty much his answer but the less educated person doing the test says that "Just slavery" is fine.

Implying that slavery as far as the creators are concerned is an oversimplification.

On anti-Roma prejudice in the US: most of the Roma people here live in New York and Philadelphia or thereabouts, and the police in both cities had until very recently a "Gypsy Squad" which investigated crimes by psychics and fortune-tellers. Which is creepy as gently caress.

There might be more anti-"gypsy" prejudice against Irish Travellers here than against Roma. Soundbitey news programs used to warn against "gypsy" scammers pretending to resurface driveways but only painting them black, taking deposits for roofing work that was never done, etc., which were generally Irish Travellers and not Roma.

As for the "maybe blackface is okay in countries that aren't North America": not so much according to the black people who live in those countries. The anti-Zwarte Piet movement is led by black Dutch people, for example.
