Black Lives Matter

@Hierophantc4

So they support the black slave owners over the black slaves? Such matters could be solved without war, for instance asking for a trade embargo or other diplomatic sanctions to make things more difficult for the slave owners. Simply denouncing them publicly would say a lot. They simply do not care about the lives of these black slaves.

However, if this were to be happening in say Iceland and not Africa I'm sure they would share their opinion rather vocally.
"Image 3 is the powers that be, giving up their power so that everyone can see the game. But why would they ever want to do that? They are not suffering from others not being able to see the game? They getting paid yo! lol"

which is why protest is needed to force them to do so?
@The_Human_Paradox
Is there though? I mean who decided that human rights is a thing? Actually why do humans matter at all in the greater scheme of things? If we are going to be super honest here... Humans are just a virus really? A parasite eating away at the planet and not offering it anything in return. Is it not true, that by being able to think the way we do, we automatically decide that we are more important than anything else on the planet? How is that fair to the rest of the planet? So we are superior and therefor we are allowed to do what ever we want? Are we now not just saying that we are not equal to anything or anyone else?
You see the problem here are far greater than any of us can really comprehend i believe.
But hey, thats just me i guess :)
Here is another simple example. Everyone gets up in arms when there is animal abuse or an animal is being threatened from existence etc. Save the rhinos, save the lions, save this or that. Well here is a thought... why dont you get the hell out your house or better yet how about you all get out of the neighborhood and we flatten it all and we give them space to live? We took it in the first place? It was their space and now they are dying out because we took it? But are you willing to give up your house so that the animals may live?
I am willing to admit that I am the problem! We are all the problem! But its easier to just sit and point fingers... no one wants to admit that we are the cause to every problem on the planet.
