And the real truth is STILL not out! For example, the real death toll was three thousand. Three thousand black people who had been living on that very street for thousands of years before Christopher Columbus arrived.

Black Americans have the worst historical denialism. Black racism is predicated on lies about the history of blacks in America. They have been taught they are nothing but perennial victims, and that they are owed simply because they exist. This is not reality, in order to demonize racism academia has been cherry picking history to create these one sided stories. Imagine if we taught that Indians killed one third of colonists and was honest about their historical practices. Imagine if we taught the black on white violence spikes that created the Jim Crow laws and the crime ratio still has not changed today despite the advances of racial equality.
This is true in the north, where the migration of poorly acculturated Southern blacks led to barriers towards all blacks, but certainly not the case in the South, where it was part of the 'redemption' of the Southern states.
Racism, poverty, etc. are all nonsensical explanations for crime by the anointed. Being poor doesn't make you murder people.
I’ve been saying for years that if you don’t like the police presence then stop glorifying criminals and criminal behavior and stop glorifying having babies you can’t afford.
What honestly would help black people the most is to get the fuck out of black urban cities. Every self made black person I've met refuses to even entertain the idea of living in a urban environment. Getting out from under the thumb of Democrats and going for high roi technical jobs would bring more black people to middle if not upper class. Degrees from NYU in slam poetry aren’t going to make you a happy or successful person. The great migration opened up large venues black people, but have all stagnated since the “great society” movement.
I think Thomas Sowell wrote about how northern blacks and whites got a long fairly well and then when southern blacks arrived a lot changed for the worse. But I’m paraphrasing but I know he mentioned something like that.
Detroit 19th century versus Detroit 20th century is quite easily the most drastic reversal of race relations before today.
Yes, that's where I got it. It's very interesting and combats the narrative that there is just 'white racism' going up and down completely arbitrarily and without any agency.
The hurricanes caused a lot of them to scatter across the country.
Interesting. Any sources for the 1/3 of colonists? I figured it had to be a substantial number, but I've never heard anything that high.
And you're right about the historical practices. The Sioux were infamous for mutilating their slaves, torturing victims, cutting babies out of captive women, etc. Other Indians practiced cannibalism. Forced suicide/murder when a chief died. Other unpalatable practice.
The European colonialists were without a doubt brutal. But so were the Indians they met. Life was brutal.
The biggest falsehood is that “black people cannot be racist”
This claim appears only in the church of grievance studies.
I would propose that the black on white and black on hispanic violence statistics show that blacks are racist as fuck
