Really? Then explain why 95% of African-Americans today don't have but a few English surnames? We know the exact names of all the slave owners. 95% of us still have their names.
SMH... You forgot to say that white Europe was so perfect and so white, that we moved to the western hemisphere, Australia and Africa.
There are a hell of a lot more white people that moved to places that didn't have any white people, than the other way around.
So why did you white folks come to Africa or North America or anywhere when you knew it was already inhabited by people who didn't look like you? So if you don't like people of color, then why didn't you stay in your perfect all white country?
Your ignorance is showing.
Why did the Huns or the Mongols go anywhere?
Why did the Zulu go anywhere?
You will never understand anything so long as you remain completely and utterly ignorant to history.
And again who is "you"?? Are you honestly so stupid that you think all white people are the same person?
Only racist jack asses like yourself who think you personally suffered any indignity any brown person who ever lived suffered think this way.
I have absolutely nothing to do with anything white people did hundreds of years ago.
Always and Forever a dumb racist MF, spewing lies about black people.
There wouldn't be room here to list all of the things you clearly haven't bothered to read, and I shudder to think who does your thinking for you.
But I dare you to just come out and say it, old school: That settler colonialism, including slavery and genocide, was a boon to human civilization; that even its victims were net beneficiaries of its cruelties; and, that its institutions are evidence of European racial and civilizational superiority-- in total, a great heritage that is now being called into question in the name of elevating the weak and inferior to a faux equal status, with disastrous consequences for all concerned.
You too, adultinhisroom.
These evil white countries are so abhorrent to the poor little brown people that to this day the poor little brown people are dying to get into the irredeemably racist white countries.
It's idiotic to pretend all cultures and civilizations are equal.
Do you honestly believe Mozart is equal to tribesmen grunting and beating on animal skin drums?
I appreciate the uninhibited ethnocentrism. It’s refreshing, really.
Mozart was a genius. So was Newton. So was al-Khwarizmi, who, as you know, invented algebra. You know who else is really smart? Hunter gatherers who know their environments incredibly well and can survive efficiently off of what’s around them. That takes a lot of knowledge and intelligence.
Maybe if you had dropped Mozart off on the banks of the Sepik River in 1770, his genius brain could have helped him figure out how to survive. And maybe if you had sent a young Nandi tribesman to study music in Salzberg, he would have written Don Giovanni. We’ll never know. But smart (and dumb) people are all around.
The fact that Mozart was able to study and write music in Salzberg was the result countless events going back thousands of years that resulted in settled society and writing arriving to Europe which allowed for specialized labor and then the free time and resources for someone to work on music and not on finding food. The “oh my god, the Africans were so dumb, why didn’t they write the Marriage of Figaro” is just so stupid. Until recent times, technology spread unevenly around the globe and the ability (and even possibility) of having settled society relies on the availability of resources, which include crops and animals, which were not uniformly distributed across the globe. People do the best they can with the resources they have.
Do you realize how miserable you have to be to insist that a Confederate flag has to mean an old meaning -- one that's a negative? And then the people flying it tell y" no we want to change the meaning of it to something more positive", and you keep insisting no it has to mean the negative.
You want to be miserable
Lol
The crimes committed under the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes dwarf the crimes under the few years the Confederacy and the Nazis existed.
So these factual details of how slavery differed in Africa before colonialism aren't important, but the fact that some slaves learned some useful skills as a consequence of the labor they were forced to do and, as an unintentional consequence of that, used those skill to benefit themselves in some way, is relevant to the study of slavery in the context of AA history?
I didn't say one word about the study of slavery or AA history.
Well, the entire original basis of this thread is what DeSantis has pushed to have included in the AA history module of history classes, so let me ask your opinion:

I'm glad you brought up the Nazis. Does the swastika have to remain the original meaning just like the Confederate flag? Because if it does, then Germany doesn't get to change the meaning of it in the 1930 s. It would have to mean the original meaning from a thousand years before. In India.
How many black on black murders are there per year?
Same % as white on white murders.
Who leads in murders of the other races. Whites are the all-time Champions. Hell you killed 3 million during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which you conceived and implemented.
How natives of the Americas did you kill?
How many Africans in Africa did you kill?
White people do have have the moral authority to talk about murder.
Dropped two atomic bombs on major Japanese cities killing civilians.
Slave labor? I guess some dosen't know it 2023, not 1983. Also American companies chose to manufacture their products in China and other SE Asian countries. As if 80% of all the products you own are made from that part of the world and then you try to somehow correlate that with African-Americans.
You white guys are F'ing amazing in your ability to defend any and everything you have ever done to people of color and somehow try to blame them for how they have been treated by you! The audacity of some whites knows no boundaries or limits!
Labor rights in China are absolutely unethical and you're continuing to wear products made from factories in Asia. So it's your fault, your benefiting and participating in it.
You owe Asians reparations
Now this is most ridiculous post I have heard in years. Dude the clothes on your back right now were made in China, the tools in your garage (if you have one) and roughly 80% of all your possessions were made in Asia.

It's an established fact that some slaves learned trades such as blacksmithing and then were able to use those skills to make a living after the emancipation.
How is that not relevant to the history if it happened?
It's possible to acknowledge this fact without making the leap that slavery was somehow a good thing.

Wrong.
Blacks are the only race that commits a disproportionate amount murder outside of it's own group.
Giving people a disease you don't understand isn't "murder"...
Yet you said nothing about overall murders though.
Despite making up 13% of the population, black people commit around 56% of murders. Despite making up 57% of the population, white people commit around 20% of murders.
The crimes committed under the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes dwarf the crimes under the few years the Confederacy and the Nazis existed.

My point is that the British and US empires have committed far longer lasting and greater crimes.
Always and Forever a dumb racist MF, spewing lies about black people.
Your racism is the present
Your prejudice is the present
Your ignorance is the present
Name 1 lie little man.
Do I need to pull up the 100 lies that I already cited from another post several months ago.
Lets start with you saying that blacks were better off being property of white people in America than being free in their own land.
So according to you it was better to be a property forever until the 1865 and then be a 2nd class citizen being terrorized for another 100 year with Jim Crow laws, than live free in your homeland.
You really need to just stop typing. You are by far the most racist POS I have ever encountered. We all know damn well, like I said many months ago that you don't know any black person and have never ever been invited to a black person's home and you certainly never invited one to yours. Your racism, prejudice and bigotries knows no bounds.
We all know you are scared little boy and would never ever dare say any of your BS lies to the face a grown African-American man (since you said we are violent and end up in prison).
Who leads in murders of the other races. Whites are the all-time Champions. Hell you killed 3 million during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which you conceived and implemented.

The atomic bombs saved millions of lives.
...above are more lies.
So you just dismissed all the murders in the Western Hemisphere by whites against non whites? Against Africans.
Still lying...forever.
So how did murdering 100's of thousands of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki save millions of white people?
