Good. More people need to hear this. Thomas Sowell has a good summary of world slavery in Black Rednecks. I stopped trying to debate these points though because so many youth in the west have convinced themselves that they are the biggest victims of world slavery. Any reparations paid would only result in them whining for more. If they ever asked I’d love to help devise an accurate unit about slavery for schools.
They really do.
It's utterly shocking that even in England, children are allowed to grow up thinking their nation is responsible for the slave trade, when in reality it's the total opposite - their nation is responsible for ending the slave trade.
Exactly. I get that since we live in western countries we will learn more about western slavery but it should be taught the full scope of slavery. Pretty much every country is guilty
Will never happen. Accuracy doesn't line their pockets.
True but I would be willing to assist.
No way.
The mere fact that you attach any importance to 'accuracy' disqualifies you as it does Sowell.
Speaking of Sowell, it still annoys me that Kendi is treated like some great thinker and a lot of young ppl have no idea who Sowell is
In black communities there are big arguments from much older black men who lived under Jim Crow, having to tell modern middle class black men and women that yes: things were better under segregation because that's how completely fucked up you are.
They remember black communities having strong moral, social, and religious ties; and also watched as the welfare state did more damage to the black family unit than slavery ever even could.
Very true. The sad thing is that the fatherless rate is rising across the board now
Sounds like Kamala Harris.
Fweedom!
Exactly! They act like they should be awarded for speaking out against slavery in 2022.
That is what is laughable. And people get praised for it!
