I never dreamed of accusing you of a straw man. I have read your other comments and I'm ignoring them because they are irrelevant. I just need some simple questions answered, such as:

Did the Barbary Pirates ship white men into slavery in significant numbers?

Yes or no.

Please see my previous comments concerning the Barbary pirates. Thank you.

Answer the question please.

Yes or no.

Answer the question please.

Yes or no.

While the Barbary slave trade is typically portrayed as Muslim corsairs capturing white Christian victims, this is far too simplistic. In reality, the corsairs were not concerned with the race or religious orientation of those they captured. Slaves in Barbary could be black, brown or white, Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Jewish or Muslim. And the corsairs were not only Muslim; English privateers and Dutch captains also exploited the changing loyalties of an era in which friends could become enemies and enemies friends with the stroke of a pen.
"One of the things that both the public and many scholars have tended to take as given is that slavery was always racial in nature,” said historian Robert Davis, author of Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy . “But that is not true," he added.

So, if you are asking if Barbary pirates exclusively attacked white men, then the answer is no.

If you are asking if they targeted white men because of their race and gender, then again, the answer is no.

Absolutely. White men are fucking disgusting. Only women and POC should be able to decide the future of this planet.

White people are coloured, Black people are not. Black is not a colour, White is. I understand that SJW's feel their feelings should take precedence over reality.

Well I am sorry to burst your intellectual bubble but white is also not a colour.
White is the result of all other colours coming together.
Black is the total absence of colour.
Biologically the colour of the skin of people is determined by the amount of melanin produced and that is determined by at least four (Cavalli-Sforza) but probably more genes.

<sigh> To comment on that stupid point, there is a difference between the makeup of light and makeup of what bounces off of pigment to be seen.

Neither of which was the question.

Black is a color and/or white is a color or black is not a color and/or white is not a color. Who cares? White people must be punished for everything that they have done to the world. Possibly we need to come up with one lasting solution for this white problem.

Sorry I was only trolling.
I don't care about skin colour at all.
With or without hue.

Great to have your honesty, so many people try and deny that White genocide is the aim of many politicians, political activists and opinion formers.

Of course the reason that White people are hated is that we have achieved so much it puts others to shame. African Blacks in particular have multiplied enormously, live longer and are far more prosperous since Europeans broke the Muslim stranglehold on Africa and made contact.

I already told you these are not the question(s) I'm asking. Why are you incapable of answering the question I am asking?

[Pants-of-dog]

I could ask you why you seem to be incapable of addressing the answers I gave, or addressing the comments I have given that explicitly contradict your strawman.

Also, please note that you have yet to provide any evidence to support the claim that white men were targeted for persecution for their gender or race.

You could, but you didn't. In any case, I asked first. So what's your answer?

[Pants-of-dog]

The answer is no, as I have already stated many times. And no, you did not ask first.

Now, seeing as how we agree that white men have never been targeted for persecution due to their gender or race, and we have already discussed how white men hold enough power in the police, military, government, etc, to ensure they will not lose the franchise in the foreseeable future, it seems there is a continuum of power that white men enjoy that safeguards them from persecution.

Thus, all the cries of victimhood from white men in this thread are unrealistic.

[Rapperson]

The answer is no, as I have already stated many times. And no, you did not ask first.

That doesn't make any sense. The question was:

Why are you incapable of answering the question I am asking?

You will notice that is not a yes/no question.

[Rapperson]

Anyway, who cares. You have exhaustively refused to answer a simple question that goes to the heart of the dispute, so you've lost the argument.

Another things interests me. You mentioned a straw man, me accusing you of. Why did you mention that? Do you get accused a lot of making a straw man?

[Pants-of-dog]

That doesn't make any sense. The question was:

You will notice that is not a yes/no question.

I am not going to answer all your questions. Especially the irrelevant ones.

Now, seeing as how the past and the present suggest that white men will not be disenfranchised, and we agree that any worries by white men in this regard are foolish, we can understand why people find this article amuusing.

Or more specifically, we find the reactions of "victimised" white men amusing.
