I mean you could write an original story about Haiti. All the voodoo could be interesting, but that would require effort. Someone once told me “you just don’t want to face the reality of slavery”. I just said I’m well aware of slavery in the western world. Why not do some story about non western slavery
They are the ones who don't want to face the reality of slavery. Historically mulattos were pro-slavery since they wanted to climb up social status and keep their privileges. Not to mention french colonies had a different caste system from America.
Slaves performed racial purges, ransacking and even raping women and killing children during their uprising but that's something you wouldn't know from this garbage show
They know, they just don't have faith the public would want to watch an original IP about that, so they have to latch onto popular ones like leeches
My personal theory is that they don't want to learn about 'the reality of slavery' because, if they do, they start having to come face to face with the reality that slaves were alot better off in America than any other location.
Arab slave trade? Hello, castration. Central America? Worked to death. Haiti apparently turned into an absolute shithole after the Haiti revolution, despite being one of the richest islands in the Caribbean before hand...
America is the way it is now because they did this weird thing like... keeping families together, or importing women as well as men, allowing them to actually have families and independent side businesses, manumission, not working them to death, and a bunch of other things that are a little bit awkward to learn about when they want to paint a picture of abject horror and misery.
Granted, alot of this stuff is hard to learn about because it's so sparse online, likely on purpose. The last time I had to go researching on the matter, it was very thin on the ground. I'd love to find a reliable source on the death rate for slaves in Central America, for instance, but... meh. I'd have to muster up the energy, and debating people on this stuff is guaranteed to drag straight into the mud.
In the 90s this black liberal professor did a report that basically stated that America has the most opportunities for blacks and they are better off than blacks anywhere else in the world. He didn’t mean to come to that conclusion though.
I didn’t know about African slaves being sold by African rulers til I was a little older. A lot of my knowledge about the history of slavery across the world is from Sowell. A lot of these young people are surprised to learn that slavery has been practiced across the world
Also Orlok, the self claimed aztec vampire comes from a culture of slavers and all he does is complain about how his people was wiped out by europeans
Didn’t the neighboring tribes help the Spaniards because the Aztecs were oppressing everyone?
Lol what the heck does that even mean? The only appropriate answer is "you just don't want to face the reality that you're a retard."
Yea but this was the type of young activist who lived in nice suburbs but talks about slavery as if they were the main victims. They act like nobody is aware that slavery happened. Nothing I said was going to change his mind
