Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

So… an eye for an eye. Let’s fight racism with racism. Some race deserve racism. Racism is justified in some circumstances. That’s what you’re saying in a nutshell, I hope you understand how having these views is equally as incompatible for dialogue as with other racist rhetoric. it’s not because there are people out there that will say worse things that it makes your argument any less horrible.

It’s just a cycle of hatred that never ends because people will always have excuses for their racist views. One day it’s because “x is inferior”, the other day it’s because “y had it coming”, or the popular “z wronged me, therefore fuck z”. There’s a solution: stop talking about race, and realize people are not defined by their goddamn skin color.

In terms of a decent Human Development Index, political and economic stability, and ethno social cohesion, it is Botswana [that is the most successful today]. Similar to Zimbabwe, South Africa and neighbouring Namibia it was settled by skilled European immigrants but unlike these three by the sheer luck of a marriage between a White woman and the future leader of the country a man of indigenous extraction, ethnic reconciliation was stressed and when the reins of power was passed unto their mixed raced son, the man aptly handled the situation ensuring the position and influence of native chiefs satisfying them and gaining their support while safeguarding the position of White Botswanans in society ensuring social harmony while maintaining the valuable skills of the minority killing the two accursed birds of African dysfunction in one swoop: ethnic strife and lack of technical know how. Botswana as a result is that well to do kid that nobody hears of.

And South Africa has this little thing called apartheid

@Commune
I never said that Botswana was the only country to gain independence non-violently. I simply said that they did that and the other thing.

While I’m not sure if they are the only ones who did it in Africa, it’s still pretty impressive and no one can devalue that.

And South Africa has this little thing called apartheid

Oh wow, I must be so dumb for not knowing what that is! It’s not as if I’m Malay or anything. /s

In case you don’t know, Malays were heavily involved in the apartheid system. I learned the fucking thing in high school history.

2017 has been the most intense year.

@LR-Studios
I found 2016 to be a bit more intense actually.
