Was his statement in the museum wrong?

fattycoug

Yes. The Africans were the first people to enslave the Africans.

Oh boy

I thought it was the Anunnaki - Something new everyday...

Sadly there are slave markets in parts of Africa to this day

Dynasty1

2/18/18 5:16pm

There is still slavery in many forms everywhere

fattycoug

2/18/18 5:44pm

Sure. But that still doesn't make his statement wrong

fattycoug

2/18/18 5:43pm

I wonder why in the world people would feel that way?

Cougarealist

2/18/18 4:42pm

Indoctrination

Dynasty1

2/18/18 4:46pm

Oh boy

I just don't like divisive, intersectional politics. It's totally against what

Windward_Coug

2/18/18 6:20pm

It's easy for a white American to feel that way. How

Cougarealist

2/18/18 6:23pm

Generalize much? What other fallacies do you want to roll out. Geesh.

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 7:21pm

Which fallacy do you refer to?

Cougarealist

2/18/18 7:33pm

Overgeneralization

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 7:39pm

Specifically what?

Cougarealist

2/18/18 7:42pm

Nice try at the back peddle. You said ‘white America’ not a ‘white person’ in

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 7:49pm

I'll look forward to your never generalized posts

fattycoug

2/18/18 7:55pm

Oooh burn

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 7:56pm

Filth? Because it makes you uncomfortable?

Cougarealist

2/18/18 8:03pm

Once again, there you go assuming. Will you never learn?

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 8:05pm

Assuming what? You keep throwing out these

Cougarealist

2/18/18 8:07pm

Go re-read your posts, unless you’ve edited them like your other one

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 8:12pm

I didn't edit anything in this thread

Cougarealist

2/18/18 8:19pm

You have a very strong point of view that a lot of people on Cougarboard could benefit from.

byujacob

2/18/18 8:13pm

There's probably.some truth to that, thanks

Cougarealist

2/18/18 8:21pm

Plus the fact that your argument is based on fallacies and assumptions, but yeah

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 9:35pm

Nice assumption, boy you sure know how to make a you know what out of yourself

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 7:50pm

Salty

fattycoug

2/18/18 7:58pm

Assumption about what?

Cougarealist

2/18/18 8:25pm

Yes, you assume I’m uncomfortable because I disagree with you

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 9:29pm

What are you then?

Cougarealist

2/18/18 9:34pm

No, just someone not afraid to give you push back on your falsehoods

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 9:36pm

Which falsehoods are you pushing back against?

Cougarealist

2/18/18 9:42pm

Which falsehoods do you think I was pushing back on?

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 9:44pm

No falsehoods I can think of

Cougarealist

2/18/18 9:50pm

The issues are real but your approach and arguments suck. Nighty night.

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 10:14pm

Nice to see you concede

Cougarealist

2/18/18 10:37pm

Are you a white person?

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 8:02pm

Wasn't that the point of the film, though? To bury the past and start learning from each other?

byujacob

2/18/18 8:01pm

Some people are a little delicate, not unlike frozen precipitation

fattycoug

2/18/18 8:10pm

Boom goes the dynamite, dude you are full of zingers

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 9:33pm

Yeah the ending was good, no problem with that. Just thought the BLM talking

Windward_Coug

2/18/18 8:12pm

Did it really surprise you to hear that the racist antagonist used those types of words?

Windward_Coug

2/18/18 8:53pm

You dont see what that accomplishes? Fine

Cougarealist

2/18/18 8:24pm

What are they? Can you provide fact based arguments on specific policy that will

Windward_Coug

2/18/18 8:44pm

That stuff is a reality, though. And some people are radicalized by it.

fattycoug

2/18/18 8:41pm

Many of these guys won't even watch it!

Cougarealist

2/18/18 8:21pm

Ironically BP is in some ways one of the most right-wing films I’ve ever seen.

Dynasty1

2/18/18 4:49pm

What is ironic about that?

scootsy

2/18/18 4:51pm

Because the movie has been hyped by people with a more left-wing persuasion when

What exactly does wakanda have in common with 1930s Germany?

freekarl

2/18/18 5:40pm

What?! How is wakanda 1930 Germany. It's an isolated monarchy intent on staying

fattycoug

2/18/18 5:46pm

Sounds like 1830s US w/ Monroe Doctrine

scootsy

2/18/18 6:03pm

Exactly

fattycoug

2/18/18 7:29pm

I don't think that stating uncomfortable historical facts has to mean that those are white guilt talking points.
