Hihi

Ok but we don’t really wanna see a story about how white people helped slaves cause it diminishes what indigenous and black slaves actually experienced, which ranges from physical and sexual abuse, to straight up daily torture and cannibalism. This whole “rich white mans fought for rights and lost his family in the process” is giving white saviour and it’s not what we wanna see in media about this section of history ty!

bruh he didn’t even fight against the south because he wanted to? He fought against the south because his dad told him to.

He also had a fucking ranch with slaves. What the hell are you even talking about

are you new to the white saviour trope

Whos we? I am not denying what you said but what does that have to do with the facts of the story? Go write your own manga then… Also why are you diminishing the fact that HE FOUGHT AGAINST SLAVERY and that his family was anti slavery? Would u rather he be a confederate demon? Fucking wierdo

This is not only black history, this is native history, Latino history, and yes white history though not a good type of histroy, but still thier history, etc. everyone was involved in slavery, Africans owned slaves, Muslims owned and created the slave trade and BLACK PEOPLE ARE STILL ENSLAVED BY MUSLIMS. TODAY. Like right NOW. Jews owned slaves, the spanish owned slaves, the entirety of south american owned slaves, Mexico owned slaves, native americans has slaves, chinese had slaves, south kirea had the longest continuous slave trade on the planet!!!

but unfortunately white people are the only ones who actually abolished and FOUGHT AND DIED to end slavery weather you like it or not

Thats why i said he is not an abolitionist, can u not read? Clearly he aint no fredrick douglass lol

Are you new to literal history? Oh no sorry white people fought and died to end slavery, they should kept slavery like the muslims, africans, and koreans oops, its a fact white people fought to end slavery lol i dont have a time machine to change history

There are over 7 million literal slaves TODAY like right now in Africa, and they are enslaved to muslims and africans

Oh you’re definitely racist

Oh you’re definitely racist

i'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. the author depicting gerald as anti-slavery was only done so that the romantic relationship could be possible in the first place, and despite setting the story in the context of the american civil war, jaxx did not care to be respectful to the oppressed that have been abused historically. hence, 'white saviour'.

the modern slavery of africans has a completely different context. just because they are both historical events regarding slavery doesn't mean they can be applied to the same argument. the trans-atlantic slave trade was based off of deep-rooted systemic racism and a belief of white superiority. white people owned black people. the modern slavery in africa is due to deep corruption in the government and widespread poverty throughout the nation. traffickers, militias, human trafficking cartels own slaves... one is SYSTEMATICALLY racist, the other is due to the political and economic conditions of the nation

Genuinely what are you on about? White people weren’t the only ones to fight to end slavery? You yourself are giving white savior.

Also slavery never really ended in the us. After the 13th amendment was ratified sharecropping began popping up and Jim crow laws began going into effect. Today it still happens in the us because of the prison system.

The outrage is due to the way this author is framing this subject matter. It’s portraying the Mc the same way the movie gone with the wind framed their white characters.

The author clearly didn’t do their research. And neither did you because what are you talking about lmao

Yeah we can tell my comment flew right over your head, u clearly lack reading comprehension. All my comment is that it is historical FACT that white people are the ones who actually fought and died to end slavery in America. White people are not the only one who owned slaves, ur saying it only white who were racist? Oh so latinos are not racist when they enslaved indigenous people who were of darker skin tone, same thing in korea, africa, asia etc, white people are not the only ones who are racist you are a racist as well - stop excusing slavery and racism urself, you have the IQ of a rice grain

when did i say white people were the only group to be racist? and where am i excusing racism and slavery.. wow i truly cannot have a conversation with unintelligent people because they will make up fake arguments for the sake of being right.

white people are also not the only race to fight and end slavery.. your knowledge of history is restricted to the US.

i'm not sure why you're trying so hard to defend white people (oh, i know why actually, it's because you're white yourself so you have to use arguments of slavery in other countries to justify your racism...)

Did I say white people only? Yes black people fought to end slavery, so did Asians and Latinos, but your clearly missing the point, white people fought white people - there own kind - to end slavery, they died for black people, it is their history too which unfortunately for you is a fact - whats so hard to understand?

In the movie gone with the wind Scarlett a bitch and a southerner who supported the confederates and slavery, so ur saying being in the union army is the same shit? Are u sped? You clearly never even watched the movie

You are comparing someone who shed blood to free slaves to a bitch who is a confederate

Jim crow went into effect against all minorities including “white” jews, muslims, asains and latios, not just black people

Black incarceration is a whole other topic guess the white people in prisons are also slaves then, oh and the mexicans, chinese, indians etc and we are all slaves to capitalism *eye roll*

You are racist

You are racist, we can tell

@fentaddict you pussy ass bitch lol awww turned off ur comments

I am not white, I am latino, but you clearly can’t read - show me where I said only white people fought to end slavery? Did you miss the point for a third time?ur such a waste of oxgyen geez

No babe, you're defending this bullshit story. Even disregarding the fact dern fought for the union, the author still uses slavery as a sexual trope by making the native American ml insist on being a slave, the author wrote that because she obviously has a kink for some racist bs. Also, dern is obviously a white savior complex story considering he's painted as selfless and kind for literally just letting his fathers slaves LIVE. If you're American, it baffles me you don't understand your own country's history

Is this bait? Because there’s no way someone thinks like this. “Why are you diminishing the fact that he fought against slavery” ??? Why are you acting like this fictional yaoi man is a real person and that diminishing his fictional achievements is comparable to diminishing the experience of real people who’ve had horrific atrocities committed against them? And even now are still marginalized?? It’s simply not comparable.

I don’t even know why you mention slavery in other parts of the world. While it’s true that every place has practiced slavery before, this particular story is specifically set in the US where natives and black people had so much of their autonomy violated so of course this is absolutely about black history and native history. Yeah ofc this is also about white history cuz it’s the white enslavers who are the root of all this.

"Whos we? I am not denying what you said but what does that have to do with the facts of the story? Go write your own manga then… Also why are you diminishing the fact that HE FOUGHT AGAINST SLAVERY and that his family was anti slavery? Would u rather he be a confederate demon? Fucking wierdo

copied and pasted from a reply of yours. it's right there!! that last sentence there! don't remember writing it?

so quick to resort to insults in an argument!! don't have the maturity to have a conversation without an ad hominem?

Dude exactly when I heard the "white people are the only one to EVER free the slaves I was like "this person probably enters History class when they're geeked, or when they just finished doing a line. I bet they cried when Charlie Kirk died lmaooo

You actually DID say “only white people”.

My comparison with gone with the wind was to compare the way white people were portrayed. It romanticizes the era. Here in this mahwa, mc is seen as a “white savior”, in gone with the wind, white people are seen as “benevolent”. Both are harmful.

Like I said once before, Mc didn’t shed blood to free the slaves he fought because his dad told him too. During the civil war, it is also noted that many Union soldiers were fighting for the purpose of preserving the Union.

On Jim Crow, Jim Crow laws were primarily designed to enforce racial segregation and political disenfranchisement of Black Americans. Saying it affected others does not change who was the principal target.

On incarceration, you're not disproving my point. If prison labor is a form of coerced labor, then it applies to prisoners of all races. The argument is that Black Americans have been disproportionately subjected to those systems historically, from convict leasing after emancipation to modern mass incarceration. Saying "other races are in prison too" doesn't address that.

I’m not sure if you’re rage baiting atp

They not rich either ho fuck is u happy about, go spend ur money nobody gonna stop your stupid ass
