It was the whiteman that for a brief period stole the job of slavery that the north Africans have done for centuries. They were one of the biggest hurdles that Wilberforce had to cross.
Well done, I'm glad you've cleared that up in your head.
You don't understand it do you. We are supposed to criticise white people and say black people can do no wrong. In some quarters reality doesn't exist.
Ahhh so the white man was actually saving them! My bad
What a peculiar twist of logic. Where do I even imply they saved them? You seem to think slavery as only bad when white people do it. Whole villages vanished from these islands, taken as slaves. That was wrong too.
Yes it was, but it doesn't absolve what was happening in the U.S. and is completely irrelevant to the point Piskie made. That's the real twist of logic right there from you and Peter lol.
Who said it did? I dont think anybody said that two wrongs make a right. We just pointed out that it would be more accurate to acknowledge that black people were slave owners as well.
Why do you have a problem with that?
I didn't post it to absolve anyone or anything, I was simply pointing out some flawed thinking that had been posted by mentioning some truths that some seem to find uncomfortable.
What is the twist of logic?
There's no twist of logic.
they are both perfectly logical statements.
You'll have to be patient waiting for a reply, he's currently on the Liverpool board trying to drum up some support.
Kind of ironic, given how much the slave trade contributed to Liverpool's growth.

He struggles with his logic. I dont think he'll be able to come up with a sensible answer. He's one of those people who just goes from one ridiculous statement to another. Maybe he's still wondering whether or not I want freedom of movement in any deal with the EU!?
It shifted because I gave an example to support a claim that having the few getting wealthy at the expense of the many wasn't good for the economy. It's surprising to see that some seem to think that's wrong.
Here's a clip of the guy I referred to earlier.

I think Pete has definitely added a new 'slant' to the conversation....
It's nuts on here, like dogs barking at each other.
Most of it, true. But some of it is downright ****ing hilarious!
