For when they inevitably start screaming about how the Romans kept “slaves”, I would like to point out that not only did pretty much everyone keep slaves, at that point, but also they were not necessarily black, or even from Africa, and literally 5 minutes of research would clear that up…

Also, the word “slave”, which derives from Slav, had not been coined yet, and would not be, until ooh, 500 years after the fall of Rome… 🤦🏻‍♂️

Did the concept exist? Certainly. Did the Romans keep slaves? Irrefutably, yes. Will the wokies ignore every fact I just pointed out, and use it to their own ends, in a University, a literal ”place of learning”, no less, to suit their own claims of “white supremacy”..?

Oh I bet they will. 😑

The US is just the late Roman Empire, 2.0. Change my mind.

You are misinformed. Slavery did not exist until blacks were imported to America at precisely the moment it became a country. Slavery is solely the invention of and existed exclusively in the United States.

Or at least that’s what everyone seems to believe.

The same argument could be made for their charge of imperialism and colonialism. If you look at a map of the Roman Empire, you'll notice that most of it is in Europe.

Usually lefties go easy on Pagans due to the common Christian enemy, but I suppose they are running out of statues to remove, so they've change their stance. Going after an Aurelius statue is funny, considering that they'd all be better of if they read some of his work, as it's literally the perfect antidote to being an angry lib.

Yep. Full on genocide is what they not-so-secretly want.

This requires a deft hand and tone from the administration: SHUT! THE! FUCK! UP!

Read the article. It's already cucked.

The article is also from Oct 23, 2020, although the website is fucking garbage and doesn't seem to show that anywhere, it's only in the URL.

Apparently it ended up not happening. https://www.thecollegefix.com/brown-student-government-narrowly-rejects-bid-to-remove-roman-statues/

But yes, of course, even the opponents cucked out like it was going out of style:

We hope that instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars towards the maintenance, restoration, and relocation of the Marcus Aurelius and Caesar Augustus statues, this money will instead be invested into works produced by local Indigenous and Black artists. This further material movement of wealth back into the broader Providence and Rhode Island communities would form an important part of ongoing structural change at Brown.

No kidding, check out his profile, he’s an obvious infiltrator. Every post is about fuck white women and don’t hate on jews, let alone speak on them. Then he started telling me what “I” believe and putting words in my mouth to win an argument. Dude needs to be less obvious
