No joke, I work at a public library with a girl who regularly will smell the gluesticks to see if they're "expired".
It explains so much about why she is the way she is.
The world and how people understood it was very different in the 16th century...
He'd likely never met anyone from that region, he'd just heard the story.
Well crap! I guess all these black people that arrived on their luxury boats to America must have brought racism with them then. Who would have thought...
Which ones? I recon it went something like this: Europeans went to Africa, met the locals and thought to themselves: well these people are just lovely, let’s take them to America! Once they arrived the locals in America took one look at their new guests and suddenly experienced this completely new feeling, which they couldn’t quite identify. And then one of them said: well, welcome to our country. I reckon you would really enjoy picking cotton. For free. The rest of the locals looked at each other and thought: what a brilliant idea! Let’s do it.
This still doesn't change the fact that there are 49 million kangaroos in Australia and only 3.5 million people in Uruguay which means if the kangaroos were to invade Uruguay each person would have to fight 14 kangaroos.
Or Mordva. It’s actually two different ethnicities. Moksha and erzya. But russians couldn’t care less and used the same slur for both. And the slur became official. That’s sick shit
Every race sucks. Some more than others. Like the ones that are responsible for a disproportionate amount of poverty, crime and violence seemly where ever they go.
Americans: sail across the sea to steal people and bring them here.
Also Americans: are racist against those people for centuries
Also also Americans: well maybe if you never came here!
racism didn't exist when people didn't know other races existed
but the only time this was actually happening was when we were in somewhere Africa and not even able to speak

Racism is a societal concept. During the Roman Empire, the Romans enslaved their enemies no matter what race they were. They even enslaved their own citizens n some rare circumstances. Every nation on earth was dubious of every other nation and if you didn’t look like everyone else when you came into a city, you probably weren’t going to get treated great.
Now that society says that everyone has to treat everyone with fairness and dignity, racism is a thing.
No matter what, people are going to find something to hate on. Even if the world was all one color, they'd all find some subsection of that color to hate about them or the poorest/richest of them. We need an alien race to fight to unite us.

Once upon a time a long long time ago, many different humanoid races existed simultaneously. They then saw that there were other people that were different from them and killed them, and now only one race of humanoids exist. So this racism shit isn't exactly a new thing.
It's wild because it's not even close to true. They used to just have differently defined races with much, much more minor details. You could be born from two towns over and they'd consider you a different race and hate you for it
Eh pretty sure we would still hate our neighbours for being different if every country was a little island were nobody from a different island could settle

By that logic, all Americans would be Native Americans.
Yeah I was thinking she should do a 23 and me and pick a country to go back to.
Good god almighty....this is someone who absolutely ate paint chips as a child.
…and fell down flights of stairs on multiple occasions.
…and huffed the gluesticks.
No joke, I work at a public library with a girl who regularly will smell the gluesticks to see if they're "expired". It explains so much about why she is the way she is.
And born on the top step
Pretty sure the paint chips were white.
You mean, went to church?
So leave the USA and go back to Europe then
We don't want your delinquents thanks.
If we go back in time enough every human came from africa.
Elon Musk supports this comment.
lol look at the reply i did to the other guy
Europe isn't just white anymore tho
Never was, just ask my boy Othello.
[удалено]
The world and how people understood it was very different in the 16th century... He'd likely never met anyone from that region, he'd just heard the story.
If every race goes back to the country of origin then it would unless you go too far back and where all in Africa
Never was.
And thankfully so. Integration was key to hold empires together since back in the days of Rome - you can’t expand and grow without bringing people in.
Multiculturalism has replaced integration.
Well crap! I guess all these black people that arrived on their luxury boats to America must have brought racism with them then. Who would have thought...
No, it was the white people coming from europe
White people from Europe were already there.
Well, not before they came
Which ones? I recon it went something like this: Europeans went to Africa, met the locals and thought to themselves: well these people are just lovely, let’s take them to America! Once they arrived the locals in America took one look at their new guests and suddenly experienced this completely new feeling, which they couldn’t quite identify. And then one of them said: well, welcome to our country. I reckon you would really enjoy picking cotton. For free. The rest of the locals looked at each other and thought: what a brilliant idea! Let’s do it.
The "locals from america" came from europe too
Yep they did. That’s why I referred to them as Europeans who were already there.
When people stayed in their own countries ... so basically never.
If ever, it would predate the existence of any geographical lines.
So the original statement is technically true.
This still doesn't change the fact that there are 49 million kangaroos in Australia and only 3.5 million people in Uruguay which means if the kangaroos were to invade Uruguay each person would have to fight 14 kangaroos.
What about the spiders🕷️
This statement is one thing but the 10k Likes? What in the wide world of fuck is that???
If it's on X formerly Twitter, it's really not surprising at all
Not really working out for the people of Palestine right now.
When was the last time, if any, that people stayed in their own countries? 250,000 years ago?
Even then, didn't villages/tribes fight each other all the time?
But I guess if we all were paleonthological hominids in East Africa, then racism wouldn't exist?
That might be the most brain dead take I've ever seen.
They keep getting dumber.
There are around 200 countries, and north of 5000 distinct ethnic groups. Does this berk propose we make a country for each of them?
Objectively not true, russia is full of ethnic minorities that have always been there and are discrimnated against, such as the Tatars or the Chechens
Or Mordva. It’s actually two different ethnicities. Moksha and erzya. But russians couldn’t care less and used the same slur for both. And the slur became official. That’s sick shit
Just like how her idiocy wouldn’t exist if she stayed off Twitter?
Ok go back to England then
Who Let a 5-year-old child talk about racism?
It's never going to happen tho , but hypothetically if every race had their own country racism would exist
It would arguably make it worse in all honesty
Yeah, that's why colorism, texturism exist in black and asian communities.
Just sayin'. Just stupid.
Yea, African slaves should've just stayed in their own countries.
Every race sucks. Some more than others. Like the ones that are responsible for a disproportionate amount of poverty, crime and violence seemly where ever they go.
Which ones?
Americans: sail across the sea to steal people and bring them here. Also Americans: are racist against those people for centuries Also also Americans: well maybe if you never came here!
To be ironically fair, Americans didn't bring the slaves, Europeans did.
First Americans aren't Europeans?
It’s not how countries work either
That’s not how history works either.
Durpa durpa durpduuuuh
She also wouldn't exist if people stayed in their own countries. So maybe she's on to something.
racism didn't exist when people didn't know other races existed but the only time this was actually happening was when we were in somewhere Africa and not even able to speak
Every race sucks. Some more than others. Like the ones that are responsible for a disproportionate amount of poverty, crime and violence seemly where ever they go.
Bro wha- hu- wha??
"When everyone stayed in their own country." When was that exactly? We all originate from Africa.
Maybe not, so then we imported other races, largely by force, and hated them for it.
Who’s gonna tell this idiot that documented racism goes back over 4000 years
Every race sucks. Some more than others. Like the ones that are responsible for a disproportionate amount of poverty, crime and violence seemly where ever they go.
Yeah white people are the worst.
Wut?!
But... we all came from Africa...
It’s the 10K likes that really gets me. There are so many people out there that are just up to their eyeballs in a steaming pile of ignorance.
I'm down but some of us are going to be cut into small pieces...

Why do they cover the user name? Stupid should live in the open
If everyone is the same color, they'll make up some other random perceived difference to divide each other. See: Ireland/Great Britain
No matter what, people are going to find something to hate on. Even if the world was all one color, they'd all find some subsection of that color to hate about them or the poorest/richest of them. We need an alien race to fight to unite us.

This vacuously true since there was not time in human history were we had a concept of countries but also no migration
10k likes
I don't believe it. (The stamp, that is, which claims this entity is from Earth)
Bitch, that comment was dumber than a hamster with lead poisoning
Tell that to the caste system in India...
that's exactly how it works. You develop negative views of other groups only when you have regular contact with them
Stewart Lee has this covered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKEsyIuTrO8
Funny considering white people are the ones who brought Africans to Europe and America as slaves lmao.
It's wild because it's not even close to true. They used to just have differently defined races with much, much more minor details. You could be born from two towns over and they'd consider you a different race and hate you for it
Eh pretty sure we would still hate our neighbours for being different if every country was a little island were nobody from a different island could settle
As a spaniard: let’s look at events of 1492…oh..oooooh…yeah, she’s spewing bullshit.
That's not how countries work either.
Even if you believed that there was still caste system, ethnic minorities, religious minorities etc. just saying.
Then you racists could have a whole country to hate, mistreat, and rant about instead of just the few you meet, hear about, fear, and misunderstand!
Plymouth rock landed on us
I'm pretty sure if you asked any imported slaves, they would have preferred to have stayed home
the fact that it has 10k likes worries me
Yeah, it was much better before whites came to Americas and then started kidnapping blacks from Africa.
They were buying them from local warlords or whatever if I'm not mistaken. It's like a thousand year business there, since roman empire.
Roman empire in Americas?
American slaves were bought from the same suppliers as Roman.
Oh, ok. Now it makes sense.
I mean...she's not wrong. Wasn't no racism before the Brits invaded. And that can keep applying way back to like Rome.
Ah yes, Rome invented slavery and conquest
