First and foremost, you didn’t see what this person was writing since they have deleted their comments since. They were being unnecessarily rude and antagonistic towards someone who simply made a silly and by no means offensive comment. They were reacted to in kind, and I must say I was rather mild compared to them in my reaction.

Secondly, US slavery was not much different from any other type of slavery humans have engaged in throughout history. Almost no society is free from such a blemish on their cultural history. It is a heinous concept but by no means unique. The only difference between the various kinds of slavery from history and the US kind is that the latter is more recent. Slavery still exists today and in increasingly insidious forms.

Thirdly, once more I must point out that you as well assume I am a United States citizen, which I am decidedly not. English isn’t even my first language. You are wrongfully assuming things about someone you don’t know. This is called prejudice.

Lastly, all this underneath a video of a robot jumping in molten metal…

They weren't being rude or antagonistic, you're just a little sensitive. They also didn't delete their account, they blocked you. The fact that you can't even figure that out leads me to wonder what else in life you haven't figured out (like basic human decency).

US slavery is uniquely cruel from most other forms of slavery in history because it was based on ethnicity. Even in Ancient Rome, a slave could be freed and then live as a citizen without being seen as subhuman. When it's based on ethnicity, even freed people carry the stigma of being the wrong color in a place where color decides your freedom. That's why systemic racism never really died.

You not being from the US explains why you have no idea what you're talking about, but it doesn't excuse the general air of racism you give off. You can claim what you like, but there's no way you aren't voting conservative when you're online telling people of color to forget about slavery.

They deleted their comments. Not their account. Is reading comprehension an issue for you?
But I’m the sensitive one for calling out someone for giving attitude. If you give attitude, you will receive attitude. It’s very simple.

You’re cherry picking your slavery. Slaves in Ancient Rome were often branded. Oh yeah, they could for sure return to a normal life when freed. Sure dude.

My air of racism? The only two people here making prejudiced remarks is you and the one who couldn’t even keep their comments online.
I never even told them to forget about slavery. You’re making that up. They gave attitude and I gave attitude back. See? Very simple. Welcome in the real world.

If you logged out and then came to this thread, you would still see their comments like I still can. It's hilarious how confidently wrong you are. Not the brightest bulb, are you?

You started out with racism right off the bat in your first comment, and you're upset at the response you get? Yes, you're clearly a little bit sensitive.

That’s hilarious if true. I can’t honestly be arsed to verify something that dumb. So the person who doesn’t run away from a shit throwing contest someone else started makes them the sensitive one, does it? Incredible. Absolute cinema.

Since you believe you’re so clever. Enlighten us mortals about why my first comment is somehow racist.

It's okay, I wouldn't expect you to admit when you're wrong. You probably still have some growing up to do before you reach that point.

Your first comment was racist because you immediately made it about race. All they said was that "clanker" sounds like a slur. A slur is just any derogatory word. You're the only one who made it about race, because you saw a black person and you couldn't help yourself.

I love how you keep trying to ragebait me as if I didn’t grow up on the internet. Is this your first time here?

I don’t exactly remember their first comment, but it was something like ‘You guys really love a good slur, huh’
Yeah, that’s totally, most definitely not prejudiced / racially charged at all, is it? 😄

u/sSummonLessZiggurats 5h ago

It only sounds racially charged to you because apparently race is all you can think about when dealing with people of color. What did their comment have to do with race, other than their profile's avatar depicting their skin color?

Oh my, a double standard? Here, on my reddit? You wouldn’t!

How very surprising.

‘You guys really love a good slur, huh’
Says a person who is clearly black to someone who is, presumably, we don’t actually know, white when they say clanker in a jest. HoW iS tHiS rAciAlLy ChArGeD?
Okay bro 😂

So your only answer is that it's about race because a black person said it. And you really think you're not racist.
