It is A HISTORICAL FACT. I literally just learned the entire origins from scholarly sources. You're reaching so hard and its pathetic. I explained in TWO SEPARATE POSTS how hunters (whom, hate to break it to you, were f******* of African descent) were the first to contract HIV from blood to blood contact with the chimpanzees they killed to bring to the markets. White men were not hunters in these regions as locals had to be familiar with the terrain and landscape in order to hunt in these Congan rainforests.

Stop trying to make every f******* thing a "Racist" comment. Nobody is saying Africans are at fault for this contraction... it was totally out of anybody's control and there was 0 scientific knowledge of a disease like this to prevent this from happening. So calmed the f*** down with you like is said something bigoted when you just can't accept a singular fact? pathetic.

Most of the world's most terrible catastrophes and epidemics were/are at the hands of white people doing stupid, evil **** they had no business doing..

You're right. It was most likely those disgusting chimpanzees native to Belgium! White people must've also started Cancer, seeing as diseases just pop up out of no where.

No but when those Belgium natives went over to the Congo (or wherever) they were probably having sex with those chimps since it was a animal they weren't use to.

Bitch shut the **** up with that passive aggressive ********. The Belgians came to the congo and tried to exterminate a people aka genocide by mutilation, murder and rape. Everything that cane to those mother ****ers they deserve. You can miss me with the deflection.

these race threads and same people again. really?

mods should ban these kind of threads. so annoying.

Belgium Japan UK Germany US really most countries in the world have brutal histories. Those were dark days . We must learn from the past so its never repeated again. We have to forgive not forget but forgive so we can move on and make the future a better.

For your claim that it spread by black people instead of dumb inferences

my source is logic? like, i don't understand the confusion here. black women face income inequality even in african countries, so they're more likely to be sex workers because poorer people more often go into sex work due to needing money (because it's pretty rare for a sex worker to actually WANT to be one). sex workers contributed to the spread of the disease. not only that, but the congo is by far a black majority country, so it makes sense that a large number of those working men were black. i didn't say NO white people had anything to do with it, but to say it was spread entirely by white people makes no sense whatsoever. i guess i don't have an official source, but that seems pretty obvious to me.

like i said, there's nothing WRONG with this, and i don't blame them for this happening because white people probably would have done the same in the same circumstances. i was just responding to the idea that it was spread entirely by white people. so racist, i guess.

The same way black people are made to feel like **** literally every day, and every time a race thread comes up on ATRL and becomes overrun with white people (and even other minorities) claiming that we're too sensitive and that racism isn't as bad as we claim and how we complain too much and should just shut up about it? Literally the whole world hates black people, sis.

As long as society gives different privileges to people based on their skin color, race will always be a dividing factor, unfortunately. And the fact of the matter is that there are still a LOT of white people who actually WOULD let history repeat itself if given the chance. There are quite a few on this very site in fact. If you're one of the white people who is actually educated on race issues and race relations, and you genuinely aren't racist, then you should have nothing to feel bad for. to you. You're already part of the solution. It doesn't make anti-white comments ok obviously, but there's no need to take those things to heart bby.

I know, I just really want us to progress past this, I know it's taking time but I just want everyone to be equal and have none of these issues any more. As long as we keep educating others in an educational way and teach the next generation properly also, we can achieve that, which I honestly whole heartedly can not wait.

AIDS would still have existed with or without European colonization. The original chimpanzee strain didn't just start b/c of white people.

Okay but the WHITE Europeans were ****ing the black workers. And you don't even know if that's factual. Not every European was wealthy back then.

I actually can't be racist. There's no such thing as reverse racism.

You're racist because racism is not just one way, o just to black people. You are saying a negative statement against a whole race for something that SOME individuals did years and years ago.

THAT'S RACIST!

my topic was totally hijacked.

Classic case of "TRBOP" (threads ruined by one post).

Behind Tiko's ranting there is a slightly valid point: colonialism is strongly connected to the spread of HIV/AIDS in what used to be the Belgian Congo, then in Africa, moving on to the Caribbean, and then to the U.S., Europe, and the rest of the world.

Still, to make a generalizing statement that blames all white people for this tragedy is not fair or well informed. It's akin to saying that present day Spaniards are to blame for the genocide of indigenous people in the New World and the subsequent violence/poverty that has plagued a good number of Latin American countries. Or to say that modern day Germans are at fault for WWII, the Holocaust, and present-day Israeli-Palestinian conflicts.

The ones to blame for the world's evil (including this pandemic), for the underdevelopment of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and every other awful thing that has happened are those in power (monarchies, dictators, heads of corporations, etc.), not every single person from a racial group.

The main thing to take from the OP is the fact that scientists may have identified the geographic and historical origins of a pandemic. I don't think that knowing this can/will help much in the fight against the virus, but it is an interesting theory nonetheless.

[LoKoPaNdA]

With young working men I am sure they refer to both whites and blacks. Not that it matters I think since these people were unaware of the existence of HIV. Also, because it's stupid to blame a whole race for a virus

[robotdanger]

White people say the most racist ****, but when a black person says the truth or defends their own, y'all are ready to lynch us. I swear the slavery mentatlity has just evolved.

White people opened the passage for HIV to spread throughout the world. Im not blaming the white people of today i just like to expose the evil white people of the past. youre not racist, so you have no reason to be offended, right?

I studied that beastiality was common throughout Europe. When white men came to Africa they had intercourse with the Chimps (and SEVERAL other animals). Then, they proceeded to rape the village women and children, infecting them, and the rest is history.
