But still, the only way to create a world without slavery is to kill all the inhabitants of our world.

I would not agree. there is almost no slavery in the world. The only what stop it is education. A person should be also educated about history.

There are 30 million slaves worldwide, buddy.

Not that it really would matter though I mean, as long as you don't believe qualities are distributed differently in each race, there is nothing to be concerned about.

I have some bad news for you.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

This is absolute rubbish. The racial component to slavery has existed throughout history (not just European history), if its not based on "race" then it was based on cultural identity or in many instances religion.

Should western states apologize to Africans for their part in the slave trade? maybe, but I'm not sure what good it would do.

No, because their slaveyr had not any racial component. But the countries of Europe should indeed apologise.

Apologise for what? No one in Europe who had anything to do with the slave trade is still alive. Why should people apologise for something they didn't do?

Well, the Romans enslaved people indiscriminately.

Racial components of race didn't start until we started focusing our efforts in Africa.

This is bullshit. Slavery was present almost in every culture of this world on a certain level of cultural development and this is damn obvious, if you look, for example, at the "enslaved black race" from Africa. If you knew the history a little bit, you´d know, that it was actually the kingdom of Benin who started the slaver business with the europeans, because they needed to do something purposeful with all the prisoners of war they have taken in the conquest of the western african coast.

And btw, I don´t believe in "races".

Do go on, why don't you believe in races?

As for the OP question, no, white people won't die out.

You want to guess why? There's white people in Latin America still who intermarry other races and are doing just fine. Surprise, I know.

Of course it has racism has existed across the globe for all of human history. It hasn't been the "science" used by Europeans in the past to justify slavery but it has existed. For instance the Barbary states took European slaves because their weren't Muslims and they were white.

Regardless racism in slavery is pretty irrelevant. You should judge how awful slavery is on the suffering of the slave not how it was justified. If I was kept as a slave I wouldn't care if it was because I was white or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The fact that its "Justified by race" is irelevent.

(And before you go on to say something about them not prevailing, whatever way that happened, perhaps that's also going to be the case for their 'successors'.)

Specious arguments. As if it all matters, anyway. Shall we go on with the whole "There's less genetic diversity across the whole of the human race than..." thing? Because it's amazing what "than..."s you can go on to mention.

Skin colour isn't, in itself, a quality that's worth worrying about. Resistance to certain parasitic infections, illnesses, diseases or environmental dangers might be, but degrees of melanin means very little, for any purpose other than counter-acting UV damage whilst not contributing to vitamin D deficiency (both of which are conditions that can be mitigated for by lifestyle choices, as well as through natural selection for "just the right amount", over the generations).

My memory could be failing me, but if I recall correctly, the number of slaves is higher than ever before, while the percentage of the population in slavery is the lowest it's been.
Like I said, I could be completely wrong. If anyone could back up or disprove this, that'd be great.

That is not true. They took him because the Europeans as war prisonser which is not unusuall as the Europeans started first with Crusading and after that they tried to occupie them

Well, the reason why in America they were kept is because they were black. So, with all due respect is somehow doubt if you would tzhink as you just said.

There wouldn't be any point, there would never be another White person ever again in that scenario, going forward a person with a lighter shade of skin will only get more diluted descendants who will have a darker skin tone. I don't think I'd be able to eat or sleep, would be so filled with grief.

Do you think you have more in common with me because I'm white than say an Asian person who you grew up with, went to your school, lives in your town, likes the same TV/Sports teams ETC?


I'm fine with cooperating with people from other racial groups, but that does not take away from my desire to live in a majority White community and to exclusively date other Whites. Provided I'm able to keep to my race, I wouldn't have any problems.
