    Thing is...he’s right, isn’t he? But that doesn’t matter. He said the “wrong” thing, so under the bus he goes. Doesn’t actually matter whether what he said is factually correct.
    Are... are you being serious?

    Well... yeah?

    Millions and millions were killed.

    There's still so many damn blacks over here so it's all right I suppose.

    What's wrong with you?

    That’s not what genocide means. Millions are killed in wars. They are not genocides.

    Stop with the straw man argument. That isn’t what I said.

    What's wrong with you?
    You are perfectly illustrating my point.

    No, that's what he said.

    I'm not sure why you're defending a notorious racist.

    genocide

    noun
    noun: genocide; plural noun: genocides

    the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular nation or ethnic group.
    Starkey is right. If anything slavery was an anti-genocide as they didn't want to kill the slaves.

    Doesn't make slavery okay but where is the outrage over modern day slavery. How many slaves have died building the World Cup stadiums in Qatar?

    I’m not defending him.
    But he said something which was factually correct.
    If he implied that because it wasn’t a genocide that makes it all ok - which I’m not sure he did - then I’m not defending that.
    But he’s right, it wasn’t a genocide. If you’re selling people then you’re not going to try and kill them all.
    None of this makes the slave trade ok. I don’t think Starkey is saying it does, I am certainly not.
    But him saying it wasn’t a genocide is correct.

    A mate and me were talking about this the other night - not this specific thing, but this principle.
    If feels that at times people can’t say certain things even if they are true.

    Truth and facts are racist. Just like you can't talk about black on black crime statistics.

    I don't think people are criticising him for saying it wasn't a genocide, dude. Come on. Dont' argue in bad faith like that, you're not N_Q

    Aren't they all just GP alt accounts?

    At least that way, it wouldn't be so despairing to see these mid-life breakdowns happening in real time.
