What a perfectly American response.

Russians can be terribly racist although they would not call a black person a nigga, they would call them a dirty monkey and throw a banana at him.

Oh I understand that for a lot of people any use of that word is hurtful, and yes unfortunately I personally do not care about those particular feelings. I put them in the same category as the feelings of people who don’t want their kids to see gay people showing affection.(a very real issue where I am from) I also…

Insulting someone by calling them a slur is a negative, using that same word in a different context isn’t a negative. That is the way I see it, and while Americans disagree, fortunately your cultural imperialism hasn’t reached a point where I have to follow your norms.

I had no idea that nigga was a taboo word for some 15 years from the moment I first heard it. I understood immediately that you should not call a black person a nigga or nigger under any circumstances, but the idea that the word is taboo, in any context(in fact even referencing it when talking about it is considered…

Most working these kinds of jobs hold relatively fucked up views, haven’t met a more cynical, seemingly heartless bunch of people than paramedics.

The fact that you even consider you colonial past as something that should be talked about honestly is quite unique.

I get what you are saying but unfortunately only one of those regimes collapsed do to their own policies, and as North Korea shows as to this day there is almost no amount of horrible backward policies that you can make your people endure, that will cause a regime to fail as long as you have a couple of powerful…

I have seen what German schools teach about WW2 , and I admire Germany for being so brave when it comes to their history. Very little revisionism, a lot of general atonement, a sincere shame and sorrow for what was done.

Both are acceptable questions in my mind. If the purpose is to teach kids why and how slavery happened.

It’s called giving a challenge. Morally wrong isn’t exactly the best argument one can have. Most people on the planet think that being gay is morally wrong. Does that make them right?

Oh so we are on the same page. They definitely could have found better way of approaching the topic.

I quite don’t understand your point. Are you saying that no changes in phrasing would make this ok?  

I can not agree that the very idea of listing the good reasons for slavery is offensive.

I think it’s old other people have it worse trope. It’s basically the starving kids in Africa argument.

This is actually sad. I know the Weinstein story happened, but I never bothered to check who “broke” the story, I simply don’t care about who writes the things I read.

Could you please enlighten me what is wrong with white tea? Google did not bring up anything.

I love how even in crisis the NHS on average provides better healthcare outcomes, than the US system.

Sure there are a lot of first world problems, any time someone complains about verbal harassment or abuse I find it strange, because I would love to live in a society where that is an actual valid complaint.
