Shhhh, we still pretend it’s a bad thing that the the only slave populations that survived were in white countries. I’m still looking for the millions of Slavs taken to Africa and Asia, apparently they just ended up in Atlantis.
I learned about the Slavs through Thomas Sowell. His lesson on slavery should be mandatory learning. The number of people who think slavery is some unique western/ American invention is off the charts.
If someone had the guts to do it I’ve always thought a miniseries about the wealthiest black slave owner in America would be interesting and eye opening for many.
I’d kill for a realistic series on black slave owners in the antebellum, there’s so much history thrown in the trash that could be prominent and unifying. If we had a real Roots that showed that black and white people were both sources of slavery, and that most wealthy black men at that time period were all slave owners.
They're not gonna do that because someone's gonna go:
"Hey wait a minute, this is just Google with more whips!"
Seems like most people's idea of the history of slavery is maybe a vague understanding that it happened historically through the Greeks and Romans, sorta stopped for a while a little later after that, and then started again when Europeans discovered black people.
And it’s doubtful they even know of the Greeks and Romans.
The Irish have entered the chat
You mean when they discovered that black people were for sale
Isn't it how we got these blonde Berber tribsemen?
I was told they were unironcially inclusive, like how children of captive slaves would become pirate chieftains in upwards mobility.
You got the blonde Berber tribesmen from the mass demand for Slavic concubines. Most male slaves were either castrated or soldiers. That’s why kids of “captive slaves” were allowed mobility, they had fathers of prominence. Just like how mulattos had higher mobility in the Americas because most were born to a male of prominence. However, the “mixed” blacks of today are not considered white until they commit transgressions, while there are practically zero ethnically Slavic people’s in Asia or Africa.
