I just watched a vid where he claimed that african americans benefitted from slavery...

There are probably better ways to educate black people than forcing them into slavery for centuries, bring about a massive civil war, going through Jim Crow for the better part of a century, and having them fight for basic civil rights.

I ain't even mad.

Is it because they've never been there?

Better ways yes, was it the worse way? No. A lot of them didn't even have basic civil rights in Africa.

you mean ancient slave societies like Rome?

He's just doing it to get a rise out of people and piss them off.

Spencer is still nazbol though

Why does half of leftypol like Nazbol if Richard Spencer is Nazbol?

Well, he's not wrong.

Ignoring the disingenuous reason he's bringing it up? Absolutely. Even funnier that this is one of many common shitlib apologetics for mass economic immigration recycled from pro-slavery arguments.

The sooner modern conversations about historical slavery shift from race/colonialism/etc to economic class, the easier we'll be able to pry shitlibs loose from laissez faire capitalism.

Proportion aside, most authorities believe there to be more African slaves today (in spite of their illegality) than there were slaves worldwide at any other point in history.

Nothing wrong with Laissez faire
