Reply to comment by absolutelyshafted in TIL, that by 1860, there were nearly 4 million people enslaved in the United States. by MookieV

As a white person, I was raised with the idea no matter white people do as a race, Asian people will do it better. I was never taught whites were superior, just typically efficient.

And people who claim whataboutism typically hide behind that word so they don't have to have introspection on their hypocrisy.

Pretty efficient system of transplanting people across oceans to make their production of cotton, tobacco and sugar efficient for generations. The pretty efficient to call the same people they raped, killed, child molested dangerous when that brutal practice ended creating the highest levels of incarceration in the world for shit like selling weed and drugs that were brought into the country by the heirs of their oppressors. That’s some efficacy right there, be proud and tell your kids how smart great grandma and grandpa were! Or just vote to ban the books, either way.
