You're talking to a man that wears pants on his headWhat do you imagine I imagine you imagine they are?

You cannot honestly compare the couple of thousand black people lynched in the span of 130 years (meaning, perhaps, a dozen black people lynched at most every year, out of a population of many, many millions), to the massacre of millions of Jews within the span of 2 to 3 years in Nazi Germany.
The argument is unacceptable.
You can't talk about that in a vacuum. Fuck's sake.Nobody was talking about slavery. We were talking about lynchings in the 1950's, and the climate at that time for black people. The statistics speak that it was, relative to the decades afterwards, a safer time to be a black man, as far as homicide/crime rates.
The fear of lynching would've been fairly irrational in the 50's considering that there were only three or four of them, during the entire decade. A black man had more of a fear to be the victim of a Mafia shoot-out, than that.

The fact that you're downplaying the violence and terror inflicted upon african-americans in the U.S. displays your complete lack of awareness regarding American culture, history, and society. You should read about the country you're discussing before you form an opinion and argue about what occurs (or what occurred) there.

It's such a stupid argument. Akin to a misogynist saying he loves women cause he's married or he has a mom or something.
I think people are confused about Trump because he is utterly incapable of developing or even understanding an ethos beyond what you'd see during elementary school recess. He would be equally impressed by the Ed Norton dinner table rant in American History X, and the "I Have a Dream" speech, if he could manage to sit through either. His default is obviously closer to the Ed Norton thing, owing mostly to his father.

I'm not down-playing it, I'm merely stating the facts as they were, not how we wish them to have been (to suit our current political purposes).
There is nothing comparable between the treatment of blacks in America, and the Jews in Nazi Germany, particularly in the 1950's.
He doesn't think that white people are inherently superior, he just thinks that all other races are inherently inferior.
I feel bad for you and I'm sorry that you're you, but I have the hope that you'll change and you'll be able to formulate opinions that are closer to reality than the stupid far-fetched ideas you currently have. Enjoy your weekend.

you called limbo a samoan and then proceeded to derail with like 5 posts from asking me if i identify as a pickle to matt hughes and fedor AVs "meaning " something to the person...Quick, drive him away! He makes arguments! We have to swarm and maintain our echo-chamber with gifs!
I know it's a tough pill to swallow, but Jews still hold the ultimate "oppressed" card in history. Sorry, bro.
I do understand the plights of black Americans but they were never systematically exterminated. I cannot acknowledge something that blatantly wasn't true.
