My opinions are valid here, even if it has the net effect of offending certain people, provided I don't go a bridge too far, that is how I interpet things anyways. The rules that apply here are more liberal than I want, but it isn't too hard for me to find the line with enough effort. I'm confident that by the end of this year, I'll be so in the clear. I've lost interest in being as active in part, because there are other places who're more receptive and won't give me even a quarter as much trouble over conduct or politics.

Because we’ve done a terrible job classifying race. It’s not like we manage it or anything. Your arguement is basically,

“they’re arbitrarily defining the periodic table.”

It's quite obviously biased. Let's do a quick test here. First, go to the Black Supremacy page and read the opening statements. Then, go to the white supremacist page and check the opening statements.


“Black supremacy or black supremacism is a racial supremacist belief which maintains that black people are superior to people of other races.”

“White supremacy or white supremacism is the racist belief that white people are superior to people of other races and therefore should be dominant over them”

They practically say the exact same thing.

They were selling off the prisoners they'd taken in inter-tribal conflicts long before Europeans tried to actually colonise their land. And, in fact, the forces of Islam were invading and colonising African land and taking slaves long before Europeans. So no, "white colonialism" isn't really a defence for the terrible deeds Skarten mentioned.

It's like it's almost impossible to read manifestos, articles, or books written by white supremacists! Clearly, no, obviously the only true way to know how they determine who belongs to what race is to talk to them firsthand. :roll:

Except race is still quite literally a social construct; it's literally not even defined in any valid science, unlike the periodic table. Skin color, hair color, etc. are valid and verifiable via science as things relating to genetics, but race quite literally isn't.

Even if it did, it doesn't excuse it lol. You can't just blame everything on white people. Bad borders is not an excuse for genocide.

Well, as much as that's a crackpot theory right there (One i've never really heard of), i don't think that's really enough to classify people as nazis. A lot of the people who the nazis hate might as well say the same. Being against jews is not just a nazi thing.



If you read Mein Kampf, you would know that is what Hitler thought of communism.

You realise not every white supremacist has written a manifesto, article, or book, right? If their definitions of race are as fickle and arbitrary as you say, you have no way of knowing that there aren't white supremacists who consider sub-saharan Africans to be white and Europeans to be non-white. :roll:

I sincerely doubt that the continent was peaceful at all before Europeans arrived.
