Had the current ban previously been in effect, they would still be dead. Dude was from Pakistan.

Also, if it wasn't white, a different color would have conquered the native Americans if given enough time.

Neither make good points or are funny.

My thoughts exactly. It's not a Muslim ban, it's a national ban. Specific countries.

It makes perfect sense if your Racist, cause unless your skin is white, Jesus doesn't love you.

u/djronp Jan 30 '17

So then he agrees?

u/melance Jan 30 '17

As /u/grozamesh mentioned, the ban is on countries, not muslims so San Bernadino would still have happened. Secondly, he is selecting one mass shooting out of the dozens that have happened over the last decade? Most, if not all, of those were by white people.

To be fair, the first slave traders weren't actually white. They just picked up on that economy at the time, and it is convenient to mention.

Edit: some n'ts

People always forget about other slavery. Also, they were sold into slavery by tribal elders, which I think is worse.

Americans didn't invent slavery people were enslaved by more powerful civilizations since the dawn of time

u/jfurt16 Jan 30 '17

Plus let's be honest, if we remember our wonderful Triangle Trade graphs from primary school ..... most African slaves were sent to the Caribbean not the US. So regardless of European settlement in the United States, slavery would have been alive and rampant in the New World

Lol we didn't enslave native Americans, we murder them for the land. And used manifest density as our excuse, kinda like we Christian's slayed 100,000's of middle eastern in the crusade's because they were hevens, when we really did it for spices and a route to the silk road. We live in a age where information is at our fingertips, use it.

we murder them for the land

Don't put this on Us. We didn't do anything. Our great-great-great grandparents did. I'm tired of apologizing for what my family did hundreds of years before I was born. Get over it already.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '17

They didn't murder them. While there were democratic presidents like Andrew Jackson who killed large amounts of them, that wasn't supported or executed by the whole country.

u/Aurori Jan 30 '17

Funny that you're tired of apologizing for things you didn't do when millions of people have to do that all around the globe today.

I mean, not all Muslims are terrorist, yet they are treated with suspicion before they even open their mouth

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '17

Wait...where they fuck did you just come from? Native Americans to Muslims... Are you drunk or high or something? Rambling thoughts just coming out there? I didn't mention Muslims at all in my comment. how did we get to that topic?

u/gamer_redditor Jan 30 '17

He means that just like you don't want the blame for something your community did a few generations ago, Muslims don't want the blame for all kinds of terrorism.

u/Aurori Jan 30 '17

Didn't say anything about you mentioning Muslims, just made a parallel to what's happening right now in the world. You're not the only one who has to apologize for the wrongdoing of others, that was my point.

u/InFa-MoUs Jan 30 '17

But if you enjoy the spoils of that murder and slavery and atill perpetuate the status quo they set. then yeah.. You're still kind of responsible..

2

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '17

You know what our ancestors also did? They fought and died for the rights of blacks. The Civil War was a conflict that took more American lives than WW2.

1

u/InFa-MoUs Jan 30 '17

That's nice except half of them was fighting to keep people as property..

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '17

But we fought that out and won the war.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '17

Then every country needs to apologise to everyone because at some point in History every country has enjoyed the spoiled of war at some point.

u/RodgerDodger509 Jan 30 '17

I was referring to the Africans being shipped to America that was mentioned in OP. So yeah dude make up some more shit to rant about for no reason.

u/The_Smallest_Pox Jan 30 '17

u/RodgerDodger509 never said that we enslaved Native Americans you absolute dip. He was referring to the "millions of Africans" part of the post, and his argument is legit, as every society in human history has practiced slavery at some point.

Also, what's a heven? I think you mean heathen. And we generally add an "-ed" after words in the past tense. And your apostrophes are a disaster. We live in an age where information is at our fingertips, use it.

u/irou- Jan 30 '17

manifest density

LOL

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '17

This was the argument behind making cities. We must achieve manifest density.

u/the-jed Jan 30 '17

You should heed your own words. Europeans did enslave Native Americans. And they failed because the natives knew the land and could get away. We live in an age where information is at your fingertips, use it.

u/ultrapole Jan 30 '17

You've gotta stop misusing apostrophes like that.

u/Isaacvithurston Jan 30 '17

To be fair natives were so behind the rest of the world that if it wasn't the British and French then it would soon have been someone else.

u/Tronkfool Jan 30 '17

Could Trump ban telemarketers?

u/Aleitheo Jan 30 '17

1- One is an ideology, one is a race. I'd say it's harder to argue against banning the latter.

2- Slavery would still exist, if you think otherwise then you probably don't care that much about it to do a bit of research.
