Hate to be that guy, but given that she clearly instructs and directs John (as seen in the second film), she's leading the leader, thus making her the true leader the whole time

can somebody please explain what argument they're trying to make here

like the shields all the ships in starwars have?
You don't consider Barbary raids an act of war?
assuming i did, declaring war just so you can capture whites to sell as slaves seems kind of oppress-y to me
given that the point of contention here is whether or not it was ultimately because they were white or because they were non-muslim, i'm not sure what point you're trying to make by re-classifying piracy as an act of war?
Capitalize Black.
i didn't use any capital letters in my response, including on "muslim" which you'd capitalize for the same reasons you're arguing to capitalize "black"
also, your linked source says to capitalize "white", which you've done at no point so far
And "Yes." on both counts.
i feel like we've hit bedrock then
i'm not sure how to convince you that pirate raids that went all the way to iceland just to avoid "muslims" probably wouldn't raid a settlement consisting of black non-muslims
You can't change race by reciting The Shahada.
i feel like you're intentionally missing my point here
And irrespective anything you have said white people have never been oppressed for being white
you restating a thing doesn't make that thing true though...?
not really sure there's much point in going on further with this since it seems like we have pretty different reads on the topic at hand that aren't going to be brought into alignment through further discussion
war captives and society-wide anti-Blackness actualizing in dehumanization and chattel enslavement
where are you getting "war captives"?
If a captured ship had white and non-white non-muslims on it, do you imagine only the white non-muslims would be enslaved and everyone else let go?
i imagine instances probably occurred both ways
do you think a captured ship with only black non-muslims on it would've been captured in the first place?
do you think a coastal settlement with a population of only black non-muslims would've been raided for slaves?
Further, your comment about albinism proves you understand race to be a social construct.
if race didn't exist, american chattel slavery still would've done, because the social construct is invented afterwards to justify the act
the same appears to be true here, just with "non-muslim" being the back-engineered justification
i really don't imagine it would've made much difference, kind of like how an african that was also albino still would've ended up enslaved
While Barbary corsairs looted the cargo of ships they captured, their primary goal was to capture non-Muslim people for sale as slaves or for ransom.
it seems kind of obvious what their test for "non-muslim" likely was
You don’t need to know what it feels like.
no, but it can help
Trying to fight intolerance with intolerance isn’t successful.
blanket statements like this are rarely helpful or true
