Namely surrounding the Thomas Lockley's book. The guy who made up the fake story of "Yasuke the black samurai"
There were passages in his book that say "there were hundreds of blacks in feudal Japan and Japan did slavery of black people. But that the jesuits did not".
And recently there was also another "British" guy in Japan called "David Atkinson" who tweeted , "Is there any evidence that black slavery was not widespread in Japan?"
Atkinson is a special adviser to the Japan National Tourism Organization and was a key adviser in the previous administration, so he holds an important position in promoting Japanese culture to the world."
Thomas has been proven to be jewish and not british https://archive.md/UstHH#selection-1127.0-1127.147 and there's a high chance that David Atkinson is too. David joined U.S. investment bank Salomon Brothers as a Tokyo-based banking analyst, prior to moving to Goldman Sachs as a banking analyst in 1992. He was promoted to managing director in 1998 and then appointed partner in 2006. In 2007 he left the bank. https://archive.md/BqAIN
But because it looks like 2 White guys accusing Japan of the slave trade on top of Thomas' book saying that the jesuits didn't participate in slave trade, there's now people in Japan who think this is a case of White people trying to pass off the blame of "Whites enslaving blacks" on to the Japanese people
Can people who know Japanese, help correct the misconception over there?
This whole thing looks like jews giving White people a bad reputation in Japan
This whole slave trade thing has become a larger issue in Japan than the Yasuke thing actually
Oh that's easy, get the Koreans and Chinese on that call and they'll go 'The Japanese didn't have Blacks they enslaved OUR people when they had the chance and they weren't around any niggers!'
this. I would not be surprised at all if feudal and imperial Japan had widespread slavery. it just wasn't slavery of blacks.
Thomas' book tried to make up nonsense like "there were hundreds of blacks in feudal Japan" to then push the idea that "Japan had widespread black slavery"
Liars, like fools, have no sense of scale.
There could be "hundreds" of green-skinned aliens in New York, and statistically speaking, they wouldn't even exist, let alone be "wide-spread".
His opinion should be immediately discounted, because that's not how you science. He has to prove that african slavery existed in Japan and that it was widespread. You don't prove a negative.
They want this shit because guilt has proven so effective in controlling large swaths of people.
That's exactly what I was going to post. "Is there any evidence that X was not" is inherently difficult (likely impossible) to improve regardless of what X is, so the opinion and speaker should be dismissed outright.
You can't disprove a negative you grifting fuck, but then you know this which is why you're "asking" the "question" in the first place.
If Japan had African slaves and it was widespread wouldn’t that be pretty well known? They are really pushing this crap
Yes, it would.
If you point it out to them, you'll get get to watch a mental gymnastics routine where Japan both open enough to have participated in the trade but isolationist enough that no one knew about it.
We can't comprehend the elite victimology of black people. They can be enslaved even where they didn't exist.
Meanwhile, Koreans be like...
Lockley is part of a refugee organization as we discussed here.
This Yasuke thing is about discrediting the idea that Japan is for the Japanese so that mass immigration can be justified. It's a lot like the "nation of immigrants" psyop that the ADL was a big part of.
You think you hate Jews enough...
Eh, it's not "Jews". But it's definitely some Jews.
Yeah yeah heard it all before. #notall #notall #notall
It's not feminists but SOME feminists
It's not pitbulls but SOME pitbulls
It's not gays but SOME gays
Is there any evidence that David Atkinson doesn't currently own slaves? I eagerly await him proving a negative /s
