Reddit reviews The legacy of Malthus: The social costs of the new scientific racism

This is 100% false he says we are choosing to be slaves. His wording is absolutely terrible and insanely ambiguous, so it's easy to misinterpret what he's saying. But if you really think the "we" in this context was in reference to white people/slave owners then you're absolutely wrong.

Please please please stay the fuck away from shitty youtube sekptics, they're all contrarians and hacks. "He wasn't saying saying slavery was a choice for actual slaves when slavery was a thing in america. He was saying that it sounds like a choice for people that he's encountered who suggest they've been victimized in some way by 400 years of slavery."

1. That's a stretch
   
2. Sounds like he believes that black people complain and whine too much about slavery when they've never experienced it themselves. When in reality the effects (and some behaviors) of racist America undoubtedly still exist today and the government has not done nearly enough to eliminate these lingering effects (although they have been reduced).
