african americans need to stop appropriating the word "slave" imho. slaves existed for thousands of years before them, and have continued to exist for hundreds of years after they first laid exclusive claim to the word.

Uncle Wemus posted:I don't think suffragettes were super into racial equality tho True http://www.pbs.org/wnet/jimcrow/stories_events_riot.html quote:The Democrats launched their campaign by appealing to the deepest fear of whites -- that white women were in danger from black males. The white newspaper in Wilmington published an inflammatory speech given by Rebecca Felton, a Georgia feminist a year earlier: "If it requires lynching to protect woman's dearest possession from ravening, drunken human beasts, then I say lynch a thousand negroes a week ... if it is necessary." The article infuriated Alex Manly, a Wilmington African-American newspaper editor. He replied by writing an editorial sarcastically noting that many of these so-called lynchings for rapes were cover-ups for the discovery of consensual interracial sexual relations. The Manly article fueled raging fires.

the best part of any equality movement is that they insist on fighting each and every other equality movement, or they get burdened with over inclusiveness like headmates and trans-wallabys and poo poo and in the end it all falls apart from infighting rather than external opposition. the sun will never set on the white man's reign

The cool thing about progressivism is that you can be offended by how other people choose to be offended by how other people choose to be offended and so on ad infinitum -- for example, I'm offended by the fact that the offendees, by focusing on the historical (US-centric) context of the word "slave", are implicitly ignoring modern, actual-factual, brutal forms of slavery such as the sex trade. I should wear a shirt about it.
