All 19th century white people were jack asses


Says the Jew and the black man

The 19th century whites were the one's who ended slavery.
I'm sure the black slave lords back in Africa were pissed about losing all that business! But at least they could still sell slaves to the muslims.

Lol white people didn't end slavery. They would still have it, if they could.

Are you retarded? Lincoln was white, the Federal soldiers were virtually all white. The white people ended slavery you moron.

Abolitionism in the United Kingdom was the movement in the late 18th and early 19th centuries to end the practice of slavery, whether formal or informal, in the United Kingdom, the British Empire and the world, including ending the Atlantic slave trade. It was part of a wider abolitionism movement in Western Europe and the Americas. The buying and selling of slaves was made illegal across the British Empire in 1807, but owning slaves was permitted until it was outlawed completely in 1833, beginning a process where from 1834 slaves became indentured "apprentices" to their former owners until emancipation was achieved for the majority by 1840 and for remaining exceptions by 1843.

19th Century whites who believed it was wrong fought to end slavery, more like.

The South certainly didn't, and I don't recall Europe sending their men over the Atlantic to fight.

Also, a lot of those African slave traders who whites dealt with ended up on the boat with the rest of those folks, don't forget.

That German Jew looked pretty white to me.

reply

I don't recall Christof Waltz playing a German Jew, but it's been a while since I've seen the movie. As for all Jews being "dark", that's a real crock. They're blond, redheads, brunettes, European, African, etc. You don't seem to know anything about the Jewish diaspora. Oh well.

And don't forget the Ethiopian Jews....

William wilberforce started the abolishment of slavery in the uk in 1807 so to say white Europeans didn't want to is ridiculous. Anybody of any colour who has been a slave is an utter tragedy of mankind as a whole.

yet your being racist towards Jews BossDog677

I love that you had to find a reason to exclude Schultz from the roster of potentially-good white people because of how obviously white and how obviously good he was.

That message (19th century white people = bad) is, as far as I can see, nowhere in this movie. The white folks encountered by Django and Schultz are ***holes because that's the kinda crowds they were rolling with. It's like all the people that got their panties in a twist about the use of racial slurs in this film. How do they think people in the Antebellum South would have expressed their opinions regarding the African peoples and their descendants?

There are 167 countries that still have slavery, affecting about 46 million people. Although governments have taken steps and raised awareness about modern slavery, it is difficult to detect and recognize in many cases. It’s important to know the signs of slavery so that authorities and organizations can be alerted.

While over a hundred countries still have slavery, six countries have significantly high numbers:

India (18.4 million)
China (3.4 million)
Pakistan (2.1 million)
Bangladesh (1.5 million)
Uzbekistan (1.2 million)
North Korea (1.1 million)
Other countries that have significantly high slave populations are Russia, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia, Egypt, Myanmar, Iran, Turkey, and Sudan.

Well, of all those, only one, Russia, is a traditionally 'white' country. I guess that puts to rest the comment of the person who says whites would still have slavery if they could.

reply

Probably. That wasn't me, though. I personally feel like jerks come in all colours, and one of those colours is white. Some of those jerks (of all colours) think slavery is a good idea if it will benefit them.

Forget 19th century. Even today they're portrayed evil in every movie. Meanwhile the Black man is always good and wise.
