Worst of Social Justice

The France are a country with a rich culture. Much fashion originates in the capitol of the France country, Paris.

The France people will stand together even in the face of catastrophe done unto many of France people.

France was one of the first European nations to outlaw slavery, all the way back in 1315. Yes, before even the Hundred Years War began! This was later rescinded for the colonies, but never for the mother country. Even in the colonies, it's well known that of the European nations in North America, France was by far the best at treating the slaves there. When France became a republic in 1792, they were quick to abolish slavery as well, though Napoleon brought it back a decade later. Then, when they became a republic again, slavery was one of the first things to go.

But who am I kidding, all white people are evil am I right? Fuck whitey.

What is Mizzou, exactly?

Someone drew a swastika out of shit in a bathroom, a university president got fired for not stopping it or something, and now the people who are on hunger strike over the shit swastika are mad someone is stealing their thunder with something that actually matters.

What is protesting a shit swastika going to do? Humiliate and shame the person who did it? The person drew a shit swastika, they have no shame and you can't humiliate them more than they did to themselves by making said shit drawing. However protesting and going apeshit over it is likely exactly what the edgelord wanted to happen when they did the drawing. I'm sure they're laughing their ass off now.

[Askold]

Don't forget that a guy who had not drawn the swastika had to resign because he hadn't used precognitive abilities to be able to prevent it from being drawn.

[niam2023]

If anyone ever asks me why I think Neo-Nazis are jokes, I'll say "one made a shit swastika".

That should clear that right up.

[Even Then]

Yeah and also there were racist death threats.

[rookie]

Wait a minute. The blacks are praying for enemy tribes?

Speaking of Mizzou, has that cuntbag teacher that wanted to remove a photographer from their "safe space" been fired yet?

She resigned and it seems that the cops are considering charging her with assault.

This is tangential to the discussion but the way the French treated their slaves in Haiti (or Saint Domingue as they called it) was even more brutal than the treatment of slaves in general. If I recall right, a slave there lasted about 5 years in average before dying of the brutal working conditions and other savagery. They might have treated their slaves better in the North America, though.

I'm afraid I'm not learned enough to know myself. All the information above was just cleaned from a Wikipedia article. I actually have no idea what I'm talking about.

You're right about the North America part.  French colonies followed the Code Noir, which had articles requiring the humane treatment of slaves.  Slaves got Sundays off.  Their masters were forbidden from torturing, mutilating, or killing them.  Slaves could seek legal action against abusive masters.  And splitting up a slave family was explicitly forbidden.  By the standards of the time, it was pretty good.

As for Haiti, I think it depended on the industry.

Yeah, if you were a part of the majority of the slaves working in the sugar cane fields you were screwed: it was cheaper to bring in new slaves to replace the dead than organize the work in a more humane way. Because of the horrendous working conditions the slave owners had to also use different brutal tortures as punishments to scare the slaves to obedience and even then they rebelled. The Haiti rebellion did cause quite a debate in the mainland France since the according to the Enlightenment principles the rebelling slaves were the "good guys".
