No, no. It's absolutely not okay. I'm only saying what happened, happened. Genocide and slavery still exist. I, who I am, where I am in life, there isn't a thing I can do about it.
Ponder this. A third world country was defined during the Cold War as one that had no side in the matter. A second world country was anything Russian.
Now, a third world country is generally used as a term for a developing country since the CW definition is no longer valid. Third world countries, not all, have so much turmoil politics that someone is always trying to wipe out someone else. Tribes. Ideas. Religions.
Second world countries run along the socialist/communist line. Still slavery. Still attempted genocide.
A first world country is one, by modern definition, that has all sorts of freedoms. By modern definition, the US was a third world country, guilty of intentional plagues (blankets for the Tribes) with the intention of wiping out the Tribes. And, unfortunately, slavery. We have been a third world country, and by some opinions, are a second world country with the socialism
There isn't a modern, civilized country, save, probably, the Arctic and Antarctic, that was not built without really bad shit at some point in it's history.
I'm a bit numb to it all. Probably to much PBS and History channel. But I am sympathetic. There is a lot of unplaced and misinterpreted shame in the world.
However, there are a few groups of people I can think of that should be erased.
Can I still call you pet names?
