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?
