So, besides a religious fundamentalist you're also an assumed racist and segregationist. Who would have guessed?
Just hope the Latin civilization you talk about is Julius Caesar, Octavius and Hadrian one and not the one described by Amin Maloof in "The Crusades Through Arab Eyes"... All you're saying there was already debunked by sociologists and anthropologists before the middle of the XX century.
I also hope English is your third or fourth language, cause you write like an uncivilized west african and Google Translator doesn't seam to help.

Reparations have been proven historically to be a crappy idea. You could also tout the "repatriation" idea (and I don't think anyone would want to go back to black Africa).
Then there is the regional difference. Slaves were exclusively (or almost so) in the confed states - who lost the civil war which freed the slaves. So why should the North pay anything?
Then there is the effect: it would split the country pretty badly - try to explain someone that they should pay for something that happened hundreds of years before.

What next? Men pay reparations to women for 5000 years of de facto slavery (or maybe "serfdom" might be a more correct term)?

Getting rid of the slums would be a good idea. Take federal control of the "vices" (prostitution, drugs, gambling) and make them legal (which will gain a crapload of taxes to pay for everything) and get on with it.

Hard to talk if you give hate speach. Your are fundamentalist you are racist etc.
Should I answer you are hitlerist you are nazist. Nonsense? Its not sensible discussion.
I give you big scientist work. We dont have now scientists like him. Try to learn.
Muslims aggersed and annected christian territories like Egypt Asia Minor Palestine Spain. Crusades was righteuos reconqista... Simple historical fact. Yes obssed antilatin propagandists falsified it but only truth is interesting.
I dont see millions western people storming another civilisations. I see milion anothers storming latin West. Peoples voting using food. Domination of latin civilisation is simple fact.
Latin civilisation is not ancient Rome. Its medieval latin civilisation. Colleges lieke Oxford Cambridge Sorbone and many others. From this you can modern science and tehnology which is obsesion for other people! Fact.

Im using simple mind dont try big scientifical theories.

I see you use ideological speach typical for marxist ? I know it. Im from former aggresd by communist country. Dont do it its mind cancer. And its fundamentalism :0)) Try to have open head.

you mean open mind.

Those areas of discussion are nuclear fields, thus would be a good idea to speak a better English before going on, or many claims will be misunderstood and not to your advantage. From my perspective things you say there are not false, is just that many people have lost the ability of connecting dots.

Take for example the "white" privilege. Some whites, especially those from modern industrialized countries, can not even imagine how low were life standards during communism regimes or Russian annexation of some east countries. And those are white people too. When I look at my parent struggles with getting food, healthcare, paying bills - they have a much harder time than any minority of color in France or USA. Not only those whites didn't colonize or enslave anybody, but they were repeatedly colonized, oppressed and enslaved as well. And that's not 1% of all whites, but something closer to 50% or more.

Also, for the civilization based on Judeo-Christian values as being the most successful, one must be very confused to deny that. But pay attention to terms used, people of bad faith will often bicker about words used in order to disregard the content they express.

Because Franz Boas and Claude Lévi-Strauss, among others, completely discredited his work.

For all I know, Amin Maloof is a credited historian up to this day.

Please, maybe unknown to you but there was an important period in European history after the medieval ages. It became known as The Enlightenment and only after that and the knowledge becoming secular could Europe reclaim any advancement over the Arab world. Modern science and technology were born in those same Catholic universities but only after their administrations became predominantly secular.
Baronus said:

If you have a simple mind, don't quote surpassed work to spread misinformation. Modern science is all about rebuttal and scrutiny from  pears, if you can't stand it don't make claims that can easily be refuted and expect others to accept them as truths or (even worst) your truths. If there is something I truly loathe is bad faith statements trying to pass as dogmas and then taking refuge on the "freedom of opinion" field, when someone refutes them.
 
And last, I'm not a Marxist but my views stand far to the left of any communist party in nowadays Europe. Yet, I'm not a political fundamentalist since I'm open to rebuttal.

Of course scientist are same people like others. Often these are criminals. Like nazi doctors experimented in Auschwitz. Or Stalin scientists.
Why? Because they are often atheists with no morality. Science must have etic. Christian etic. Another its holocaust.

Accuratly you do it. Im not simply man as all can see. Im I scientsit but polish speaking. Polish is one of most complicated language and none can it learn if is not born.
https://www.xperiencepoland.com/5-reasons-polish-language-is-hard/
So I can express more and more in my language than in english. So if I have simply english it doesnt mean that my polish is the same! Im using simply words to be understanded. Science must be understanded! Using complicated hard to understand language is a proof of stupidity not a wisdom. I think its not a problem my language. If someone has no arguments always is last. YOUR ENGLISH IS SO BAD! :0))) Im very happy if someone correct my gramatics :0)))

Im only interesting truth.

Commy yes, Stalinist no. For Christians I recognize but one place, the arena, with their hands cut off so they can't accidentally hurt the lions.

Not only that, but moderators support calm thoughtlessness here, over angry logic. It's infuriating. Some people should not have a voice, period. I'm coming to understand this more and more. When insanity is the norm, it's time to start putting people in cages and isolating them where they can't ever interfere again with the people on this planet that are still sane. These people do not belong FREE in a world they are actively working towards destroying.

Fred, any member of HC is allowed to voice his or her opinion, harsh or not. What is not allowed, is breaking the CoC. You know, when you insult someone, it's against the rules. In your post Corribus deleted, you were blatantly insulting another HC member. He was actually nice to not penalize you.

Just remove the personal insults from your posts and everything will be fine.

Sal is right to point out that white people living under a communist regime in Europe have probably had it much worse than minorities in the west, but who cares about that, right? The white man is eviiiiil and oppression ONLY affects the black people, and whites will have to apologise and make amends until the end of time. Disagree and you're a racist fascist nazi white supremacist. Grr. [rolleyes]

Maybe people do become monsters without themselves seeing it, I don't know. But I am so glad I live in another continent than a person who actually thinks like this. Biggest red flags I have seen in a while.

Sal is never right in these things, as a rule of thumbs. The main reason is - the two things are not comparable, because - why would you compare the two things? In one case we talk about the situation of a minority in a rich state, in the other we talk about the overwhelming majority suppressed in SOME (but not all) ways by the government and its arms.
Instead, you might compare, say, Vietnamese minority in the GDR.

It's not the same thing, whether everyone is oppressed by a small minority and their lackeys or whether a minority is generally oppressed by the majority.

No one has ever claimed racism was the only possible and existing form of oppression.

Of course it's not the only form, but many people today act like it is, at least that's what I'm getting from the recent protests that erupted in the US.

I will not claim that racism is not a significant problem and really I don't know what it is like to live in a country where the majority is of a different race than me, but seeing racism everywhere and constantly blaming whites for every problem that the others deal with, because whites have "privileges", isn't going to help the situation get better.

But that's just me.
