If you are happy in a country built on the sweat and blood of enslaved people, and then simply not willing to listen to their suffering, you are an aweful human being.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't put words in my mouth or throw insults at me.
I'm merely pointing out that violent rioters will elicit negative responses from people who don't want society to burn down and those who stop said rioters will elicit positive responses.
There is no faster to alienate people and get yourself off with smug superiority than to comment like this.
We can go down the path of how much has been built by slaves, what you mean by enslaved, and how I am somehow responsible for that, especially as an immigrant from a country torn apart by American imperialism.
You are not the judge of what is an aweful human being, seriously, you’re just not that free of sin or amazing.
In your smugness you no doubt increase the wealth of other such “aweful human beings” by working for them, paying them for goods, paying taxes, etc.
This attitude is tiring and counter productive.
