Is this a valid way to justify crime?

Question

People always tell me that since "afircans sold others into slavery" true or not, that justify Americas oppression of the black race.

So according to this logic we can go out and by guns and kill people at random. Then tell their family you need to be concern with the people who legally sold them the gun.

So since America made the discision to oppress and are not guilty, so the shotter who shot can't be guilty.

We should get this law pass, do you agree?

Answer 1

Whoever said that, is an idiot of the highest order.

That makes absolutely no logical sense.

And...No, that should not be a law.

Answer 2

People always look for some reason to justify the bad things of the past. But if you look at the history book even they admit that the slavery in Africa was different. Children weren't born into slavery. There were ways to gain freedom and they didn't cut off people toes so they couldn't run away. I am not trying to justify the slavery in Africa but I am just saying the stuff the settlers did to Africans was way worse anyway so they can't even use that excuse.

Answer 3

First let me say that slavery was more than wrong, but there also on valid reason to commit any crime. Slavery happened over 150 years ago. American was not the only country that had slaves and sent them free after the public opinion turn against the slave trade.

But in America the Blacks are the only ones that carry on this resentment against the whites, but have not reason to do so.

One fact of life you need to remember, YOU are responsible for YOUR actions. It is your mind that you think up to commit any crime. It is your actions that carry out the criminal actions. Therefor there is no way you can commit a crime and washed away and call it valid.

I think you need to listen to someone else about that logic. It is more than twisted and illogical.

Answer 4

No, What we should do is make it law to convict, or kill, anyone of any offense if anyone ever, from his race, ever committed any crime. That makes as much sense as what you propose but it's easier. Then you could kill white people and say you did it, not because they committed any crime against you but because some white person at some time somewhere committed a crime against a black person who you never met, and may not have liked, but was nevertheless black. Then I could kill you because a black man somewhere at sometime killed a white man I never knew. Now I think that's fair and just about what you meant.

Answer 5

The 'africans sold others into slavery' is only used when blacks pull out the 'You had slaves!' against whites, And by the way, most whites were against slavery even when it was going on. What do you think the civil war was all about? But nice try, Guns don't kill people, people with guns do

Answer 6

Well, going by that logic I'm technically not guilty of killing my assistant with a stapler...hang on, I've got to give my lawyer a call...

Answer 7

I continue to wonder when the victim card is going to finally play out. Isn't it about time to get about the job of living in the now??? Some blacks are doing it, why are you stuck in a rut?

Answer 8

Nope. Just because people think a certain way doesn't make it right. People are responsible for their own actions!

Answer 9

I don't agree. I think we should move on, slavery was over a long time ago.
