Worse. The systematic racism, redlining, prison-industrial complex, school-to-prison pipeline, tuskegee experiment, lack of funding for black communities, segregation, job discrimination. All for almost 200 years after slavery ended. Do you want me to keep going on?
Should Trans-Atlantic Slavery be treated the same way as the Holocaust?

Not the same. It was much worse because everyone knew exactly what was happening and most of the world orchestrated and maintained it's processes.

It’s purely because the world,especially white Americans lack empathy for the atrocities done to us.Hell Ruby Bridges probably isn’t even old enough to fully collect her social security, but white Americans was ready to burn the nation down last summer because stories like hers were told to their kids.

I know they exist. I've been to one in the US and one in Ghana. They are quite recent compared to how long Slavery existed. That's part of the reason I ask if the atrocities be treated the same. Black people's Israel is Liberia...but I doubt most black people even know that. In fact, I think Liberians would be called tethers here...despite being FBA. There are people alive now whose grandparents were slaves and slave owners.

ayo mods. lets lock this thread. got a PAWG thread ready in the chamber
And that's just the United States. The transatlantic slave trade involved multiple countries in the Americas. Now, I do think with not comparing the Holocaust with the TST (they are both tragedies) but the TST should be remembered more than it is now.

It was far worse than the Holocaust. Slavery and the culture of anti-blackness it birthed is still deeply influential in modern society. In fact, systemic outgrowths of slavery served as the template for the Nuremberg laws that preceded the Final Solution.

My friend, you are shaking a table ooo
Can you off your mic?
The big difference is the Holocaust involved white Europeans and slavery involved black people. Furthermore, black people were getting bombed, lynched, etc before and after the Holocaust right here in America post slavery.

So that begs the question...Was Whoopi Goldberg right? Was the Holocaust not about race? Would white people care as much about it if it was black people?
