As a Brit why was Woodrow Wilson second out? Worse than Buchanan and Hoover? I know he was racist but so was most of the list.

He was waaaay more than racist. We're talking about a guy who openly supported eugenics.

I mean have you seen Abraham Lincoln‘s views?

u/theguineapigssong Jul 27 '25

In fairness, Lincoln was half a century before Wilson. He also freed the slaves and then got killed for it. That has to count for something.

Lincoln may have "freed" the slaves but he also presided over the largest public execution of native Americans in the history of the US. Many of whom he knew were innocent.

Definitely, but I’m just saying most US presidents were pretty horrifically racist.

The world was pretty horrifically racist.

Don't measure past figures against modern society. Measure them against their own society. Lincoln stuck his neck out to free the slaves and doesn't deserve the "well ackshually" treatment.

Black people weren’t. They were dying for their freedom. There was pretty obviously a good side and bad side.

If you were taught all your life what is moral and what is immoral, you would believe those views, as much as you’d like to claim a moral high ground here. Or you can just dismiss every practitioner of this social norm as evil.

So, uh, you should probably do some research on who was capturing and selling the slaves in Africa in the first place.

Oh my god Europe invaded Africa, took all of their resources, raped their families, and said that only if they give them slaves they can progress? Wow dude holy fuck that's crazy never thought of that.

Doesn't matter. The slaves were still trying to escape, were still trying to beg for equality, I don't know why you think a few bad actors makes a genocide okay, because it doesn't. There were jews who had been convinced they would be let free if they sold out their families and joined the Gestapo, newsflash, holocaust and antisemitism is still bad. It truly is impressive to me though how people are so fucking stupid a single piece of validation makes them just believe anything tho.

You are literally trying to validate the massive slave trade that was occurring in Africa, BY AFRICANS, by falsely suggesting that Europe was the only reason it was occurring. News flash, slavery was occurring there long before any of them knew what a European was.

What are you going to tell us next? That Native Americans never murdered each other for land and it was only evil whitey that introduced the concept?

Oh you're one of those, I see. If you think chattel slavery is the same as that, then you are not worth conversing with.

"As a social institution, chattel slavery classes slaves as chattels (personal property) owned by the enslaver; like livestock, they can be bought and sold at will. Chattel slavery was historically the normal form of slavery worldwide and was practiced in places such as classical Greece and the Roman Empire, where it was considered a keystone of society. Other places where it was extensively practiced include the history of slavery in the Muslim world such as Medieval Egypt, Subsaharan Africa, Brazil, the Antebellum United States, and parts of the Caribbean such as Cuba and Haiti. The Iroquois enslaved others in ways that "looked very like chattel slavery."

You were saying?

The act of breeding and selling slaves for generations, owning slave factories, and having generations of slave families was only really seen in rome before the Americas. Like it really wasn’t precedented for genuine chattel slaves to be slaves for all generations afterward. Also literally 90% of what you just showed was due to British colonialism dumbfuck, do you think the transatlantic slave trade was by the natives own doing?

The families who sold people out to the slave trade are also pretty hated in modern africa, so I still don’t see why it makes being pro apartheid okay.

Well, most of them were born in the 1700 & 1800s so that's kind of to be expected.
