Old post in which an SJW responds to the "Africans sold their own as slaves" argument. I'll comment in next tweet: https://abagond.wordpress.com/2010/09/22/africans-sold-their-own-people-as-slaves/ …
The author doesn't understand the purpose of the "Africans sold their own" statement, which is to undermine the concept of ancestral guilt
-
-
Nobody's ancestors are on the whole blameless for slavery or any other moral failing.
-
Instead, the author is implying that whites should feel uniquely guilty for what their ancestors did. Personally, I think my ancestors...
-
...were overall probably much better people than the author's ancestors. White morality has resulted in a lot less violence + civilization.
-
In any case, unlike progs I'm not very interested in blaming people for the actions of their ancestors.I'd rather blame for their own traits
-
..and their own actions.
