I say American slavery was worse. Discuss.

No comparison. Holocaust was worse.



American slavery was quite tame in comparison to slavery in other nations, which still exist even today. So to single it out is rather fishy...

That's too bad because it's not a troll post.

Give your recent thread, you'll have to forgive our suspicions.

Well, this certainly looks like the beginning of a fruitful discussion. Let's see if we can solve this analytically, though... Ah - just as I thought - the Holocaust is a clear winner!


Now, will someone please close this thread so we can open a lolkats vs kitkats thread instead.

To be fair, people, a lot of people got sprained ankles due to American slavery.

Here's some stats:
Six out of nine millions Jews were killed in the Holocaust. Other sources indicate that several million non-Jews were also killed.
30 to 60 million humans died because of slavery. And this is considering the slave owners wanted them alive!
Christopher Columbus is the true winner in this contest. Pox blankets is the social engineer's duct tape.

On a different level, why does it matter which is worse in any way other than some pointless excercise? Both are bad and you don't need to pick one. This isn't like "iPhone or Android, what should I buy?"

I guess sometimes you just want to waste some time on the internet, but you can probably waste it more productively than on this poll.

The biblical atrocities were committed against black people also. They are not the same as the people who died in the holocaust. Posted Image

The Bible is an African story...the old testament took place in Africa long before the Arabs or Europeans were around that area in en masse. Posted Image

Can a troll not feed interesting discussion now and then? Maybe assigning an arbitrary ranking of historical atrocities is a waste of time, but discussing them isn't/
