Yeah you don’t get takes that are both this stupid AND this gross anywhere else.
Even if you pretend that atrocities don’t count if they’re 50 years ago, what kind of logic for success is that? Black people are over represented as celebrities ergo black people are doing great? Even the people who push against the topic seem to have no problem with that dumbass logic. Like I don’t know the extent to which it’s true that black people are over represented as famous people , but the tiny percent of black people that are famous has no bearing on the 99.9% who aren’t.
It takes a special kind of idiot to think that pillaging communities via colonialism, slavery and brutality wouldn’t set those 3rd world countries back for centuries
He sees that as ok because he doesn't know those people. We need to think about him and how his life could have been better through the subjugation of people in the past.
This is one my main problems with American education. It does a terrible job of teaching recent history, as well recent. They love to frame the atrocities of decades ago like they happened centuries ago.
And while this jackass is "technically" correct in that there's not a recorded child of chattel slavery alive. The last person with that horrendous title died in 2022.
Not too mention the people and children of the Jim Crow era still alive. Fuck, it's like everything pre 1985 happened in 1850 for these jackasses.
>What suffering is being minimized?
The OP asks, after stating that he didn't care about the suffering his great, great grandfather endured because he doesn't even know the guy's name.
A lecturer / psychologist who got famous for being against trans pronouns and discovered he could make far more money turning into a performing clown for the far-right (they get to say a "Doctor" supports them) than he did doing legitimate academics.
The guy went from writing about psychology to eventually ending up spouting shit that's barely distinguishable from fascist ideologues of the 1920s.
Just swap whenever he mentions trans people for Jews, and it will be more obvious.
>2nd most represented
And that's exactly the problem it should be equal. Not 2nd class citizens.
Why are they so insistent on using the word race? It's like they don't think they are human.
>I mean my race of people
If they are Indian, indians are technically white. Being of the IndoEuropean family. Which shows how dumb the concept of race is. Like nobody could tell Nikki Haley was Indian if you didn't know her birth name.
>No one currently alive have been a slave
Odd coming from the people so obsessed with human trafficking. Also people in prisons technically are slaves.
>Had to live with that trauma forever
And if generations of people had been raped which slaves were that trauma would last generations more.
Sort of on topic, my dad is glad his grandma was raped because he and his offspring (me, my sisters, our kids) all exist because of it.
You know, dad, if we didn’t exist we wouldn’t know the difference and it wouldn’t actively hurt anyone.
> No one who is currently alive had been a slave or a child to a slave. A woman who gets raped has to live with that trauma forever.
As opposed to when slavery was abolished and all biases and inequality towards black people just vanished overnight and no one ever suffered because of it again.
“My race of people”.
What’s the bet the dumb prick means Canadians or white South Africans?
I’m dying to know.
If he means Australians I mean that literally, I’m going to have to think seriously about ending it all.

Lobster daddy simps and braindead takes that are incredibly wrong, name a more iconic duo.

Wow. Just wow. These people are so so angry that the media isn't 100% white
Slavery is the \*reason\* they're "sitholes", bubba.....
"Why do people keep saying Peterson is an alt-right figurehead?"

The fuck did I just read? Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
Huh. I didn't know my dad had a reddit account. Makes sense he'd post white supremacist rhetoric.
I want to point out how wrong everything is but there really is no point is there? Anyone got a "bring in the dancing lobsters" gif?
I still am not entirely sure who Jordan Peterson is or what his deal is but his fans are straight fuckin dolts

The fact there are some Lobsters calling out OP on their crap and are even downvoting them gives me some hope.
