Slavery

--- Quote from: Trauma on April 04, 2006, 09:58:45 PM ---Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I think we often underestimate, though, the power of the culture we live in. It seems crazy to us because of our culture, but back then, that was how things were done. We do things now, that in the future will seem crazy.
One thing I always notice is how we treat fags. It is basically a.o.k. to ridicule homosexuals... in the future, that will be looked at as unbelievably unfair.
Also women still aren't considered equals. In some aspects things will always be different, because men and women are different by birth... but there are a lot of things like how for instance we haven't had a female president, etc. that in the future we'll all be looked at as neanderthals.
So when you look back, yeah, slavery looks insane, but to them it probably was just part of life and nobody realized how ludicrious it was.

Don't you see the parallels between what your saying and the prevailing prejudices against Muslims?

blame the US government for that
i watched morgan spurlocks 30 days last night, some christian guy went to spend 30 days as a muslim, living in a muslim household and learning about their ways
and inbetween it had morgan spurlock doing word association game with people using the word "Muslim", most of the responses were "Terrorist" and "Scary", and thats just because of the things the public were told by the US government after 9/11
and he asked some guy the question, this guy turns around and goes "you're asking me if i racial profile? well i do, i racial profile"

that parallel is easy to make... doesnt necessarily mean it's related... we're talking about slavery here... all in all muslims dont have it so bad, the only way that they will have a good opinion, is when the minorities within islam stop fucking it up, and the majority stop supporting that minority.
