>Hating what white people did to Africans does not make me evil, in fact it's a morally superior position.

Interesting, specifically, the "morally superior position" part. Are you willing to explain how hating what white people did is a morally superior position? Also, morally superior position to what, not hating it?

Yeah, thinking that slavery is bad is better than enslaving people.

Omg.. are we really debating this?

Hating the crime != hating the criminal. Especially when you are extending guilt to an entire race.

I would agree that thinking slavery is bad is better than enslaving people but I think that statement is not very useful because it is like saying x > -(Graham's Number) and is not a very useful statement.

What I am wondering where you stand on a more exact statement. Is "Hating what white people did to Africans" morally superior to "thinking what what people did to Africans immoral"? Why or why not?
