Yeah, this what I don’t get. Just about every race has either owned or been slaves at one point in history so why do we specifically only care about African slave trade in America?

This is what really triggered them. They think identity is defined by the groups you were born into and how oppressed they are.

I mean specifically the selling of christian slaves to the islamic lands by pagan vikings. I don't think there are many people alive today who trace their ancestry to those events.

Basic breakdown here

>YA author announces her book deal
>Advanced readers criticize her work
>YA author gathers negative screenshots about her work
>Criticisms about blue-eyed black people (who is actually just dark-skinned: "tawny" "bronze")
>Criticized the line "oppression is blind to skin color"
>YA author appologizes and pulls book, presumably to edit it

So it's basically just an author responding to reader feedback

It's not the same. The ending of the Clockwork Orange was an artistic choice - Anthony Burgess made one, the readers preferred another.

Pulling a book because the dark-skinned people have blue eyes and 'oppression is blind to skin color' is political censorship, plain and simple.

That's a weird way of saying jews. It's well known that's who did it and who are almost always behind slave trades to this day.

I think the idea is that if oppression is blind to skin colour, that implies that oppressors come in non-white, too. This, in the world of leftist fanatics means these non-whites have internalized racism and oppression from whites to such a degree that they themselves become bad.
People like this are the best argument anyone can make for stoning.

>> No.12509060

>>12507241
white people bad, black people good. Any bad thing blacks do can be attributed to something whites did to blacks beforehand. So a black racist is only racist because he learned it from whites.

A fantasy world in which black people are bad corrupts innocent blacks in the real world into being bad.
