  5. just another way of reducing the thing

  10.  @waywarddrifter677  you just said "we tried giving women freedom" ... you may be entitled to the youtube reply of the year award..! Really! it is worthy of a verbal Darwin Award. HA! PS/ edit/ Y'know i can't let you off that easily. There is an old Irish saying: "May you never open your mouth again. And no one cares which way the wind is blowing."

  15.  @CrystalHotSauce1  what do you know about that? we all know what America is.
    2
  16. to this day the general POV is enslaved... we are taught nothing about slave rebellions in the America's and we know nothing about Nat Turner .. except for William Styron's gospel. Ha!
    2
  17. i think you have no personal connection to any of this
    2
  18.  @Korksbebig  esp when they lie
    2
  19.  @dantheman9919  well it's been said that all of that stuff is in the facades of the Tonal. so you wind up in the same place no matter where you go.

  20.  @dougbutcher4452  "keeping in mind that the world going my window..."

    2
  25. ​ @adrianortega1875  ​adrianortega1875, history only repeats itself to those who had to be taught such an odd notion. and so what they were taught repeats itself.
    2
  26.  @luyandzabavukiledlamini4693  there is nothing accurate about it -- it's called an attribution. that's all it is.

  27. And they didn't do sharecropping --- and to this day "Yeah Purdue" ! fuckers of the world are fuckers of the world and needless a footnote.

  31.  CannabisDreams  really??? do you know how many aircraft carriers China deploys around the world..? Do you know how many nations are home to military bases from China? And did you know that China can stop everything and the US gov has contingent plans to respond to every corporate disaster... Save one.

  32. Maybe the true ancients of Peru and Bolvia and all of Meso-America, and the Polynesians and that damn desert so un-perfect yet it holds Gobekli Tepe. These are the ancients.. Carthage is relatively is a new kid on the block...

  33. Americans are far more interested in promoting their self-esteem... The proof is in the thumbs-up you received in comparison to the number of thumbs-up for jollygoodgordon5580. Nothing personal. It's just how we get through these awful times on planet Earth, a view from the cul-de-sac. Esteem is all we got, and you might even say that this society will do anything to keep it.

  34. so you're saying the Dominican Republic owes reparations too?

  35.  @sweetla4750  My mother was born in 1921. "Don't hold your breath" was one of her economical phrases.

  36. what do you know about the Etruscans over there where "civilization" was brewing ... you decide what history is. right? PS/ you think having a box you call your own is the epitome of any civilization?

  40. i know, they don't even count the lynchings in math class.

  41.  @Meaincubus  call it the failure of reason, heads or tails.
    1
  42. why the fuck are you doting on slavery while in the land of freedom and reservations.
    1
  43. white people just keep coming up with other tales that do not compare to the slavery of the deep south ... nothing in history is like it.
    1
  44. but you fall short of saying something.. except what is great. etc
    1
  45.  @GolAcheron-fc4ug  So name a couple unimportant periods of history.
    1
  46.  @GolAcheron-fc4ug  To say that "the trans Atlantic slave trade gets a lot of attention is because it ultimately reshaped the whole western world to what it is today" is a stretch most historians can counter with things like religious movements for a "new world" and the carpet of the virgin forest the castaway Euros decimated upon arrival... (must have seemed like gasoline -- that it could go on forever) Now we who live here can think of about a thousand other things. So my best guess is that he was speaking rhetorically. And it does sound like a good topic for an undergrad paper. PerSonal note/ i had a horrifically demanding Am Hist (pre-civil war) prof .. who was more connected to slavery by his great-grandpappy in Alabama... and he knew how little he could say from that side of the coin.

  47. actually "learning" can only be measured by a change in behavior
    1
  48.  @tonycatman  and where but in 1800's of the american south and deep south are people regarded as expendable chattel ..?
    1
  49.  @tonycatman  as in ...? and in what century?
    1
  50.  @tonycatman  and your source for this factoid?
    1
  51.  @danielwoods3896  how so?
    1
  52.  @Allin1Xavi  the talk is slavery here -- what are you saying about the ancient kingdoms of Africa ?
    1
  53. ​ @sidhantsharma9961  Well Sir Sid, when a speaker uses the phrase "more accurate" it implies that the person knows what is "less accurate." So i said what i said. What does the person know of what is less accurate?
    1
  54.  @harryspence2701  if you understand the difference between chattel and all other slavery ... you might get a grip on your own "innuendoes."
    1
  55.  @wyattcole5452  yeah,.. . your POV sucks salt
    1
  56. Too many individual accounts to count -- so why is it vital to know the general history -- for the sake of argument?
    1
  57.  @vokaltotal2299  truly
    1
  58. Complete history is personal. Why else do we have brilliant novelists and story-tellers.
    1
  59.  @sidhantsharma9961  damn. the guy is boasting his virtue.. what do i know?
    1
  60. you brought up stupidity to support your argument (and hollywood a glom of something we know nothing about)
    1
  61. So how do we know that you know enough about human societies through history if you say, "the reduction of another human being to the status of property... has been a feature of almost EVERY society on Earth"... Well. Call it just plain BULLSHIT! Such BULLSHIT that excuses EVERYTHING up to Purdue sharecroppers 2023. (i can't understand why people don't boycott the bastards) And so. . . If it was so rampant, where did it NOT EXIST? That is the question. Please remember that Florida was a Spanish colony until too many African slaves were running to their freedom there. You know, freedom! YEAH like America! Freedom! That's what we preach! So let's kIck those f bad-for-business Spaniards out of this continent.. so bad for the business of slavery.
    1
  62. do you have a clue?
    1
  63. they were driven to death like in Alabama .. right? oh. maybe they were not as expendable
    1
  64. do you think they may have welcomed it?
    1
  65.  @Medicalcannabisuk  yeah that's why we are Americans... NOT to point the finger elsewhere
    1
  66.  @Medicalcannabisuk  right. as right as you have to be.
    1
  67.  @Medicalcannabisuk  you are not them... you are American, right? Speak for yourself!
    1
  68.  @Medicalcannabisuk  what are we but Americans? we can't speak for others. And vice versa / so it's still a simple question
    1
  69. so you say white people used coercion ? .. damn wasn't that beneficent of them!
    1
  70. yes for those who think they live forever
    1
  71.  @cowel8734  what else is the lesson ?
    1
  72. the biggest question is ... what would women do?
    1
  73. no mea culpa. no problem. Just fly the flag of you wanna bet it can get no worse than Alabama?
    1
  74.  @funknotik  "historians" don't know what you are thinking or even when you are.
    1
  75.  @Korksbebig  indoctrination. For instance, the first Civil War was called the Revolutionary War etc etc when rum runners were forging a new nation lol... and with slaves, women and those who did not own land.
    1
  76.  @toomeyeh1  why do so many Caucasian-Americans need walkers with wheels in front of them when they try to walk to their automobiles? And why is there anything called "early onset" and who didn't know that Parkinson's was due to a bad microbiome ... it was well-known but not economical. YEAH! KNOWLEDGE
    1
  77.  @washingtonrl  You may have qualified for a damn dumbest reply , that is to say, a damn-dumbest-reply-of-the-year..!
    1
  78.  @whateverkimberly  some sort of progress to BLM and the bigots wondering when their own promised margarine will fall from the tub unto them
    1
  79.  @aj-2savage896  Fantasy history.. Fantasy present.. FauxNews pays. it's so much easier to have someone tell you what to think.
    1
  80.  @funknotik  dude they can't even get the Inca right .. and the Revolutionary War was the first American Civil War .. although that part is for historians and not for general consumption.. historians and consumption -- 2 diff things.. ask FauxNews.
    1
  81.  @toomeyeh1  dude the pursuit of knowledge leads to a lot of smoke and mirrors. and don't say medicine because medicine has a lot to lose financially by how our bodies actually work so well without pharmaceuticals. ... if only we knew the history of medicine!!! and food was our medicine etc
    1
  82.  @toomeyeh1  dude i was just quoting the guy every AMA (American Malpractice Association) participant swears an oath to. (ps when does your own malpractitioner ask you what you ingest and what do you think your microbiome wants more of? .. as if you are not the host!)
    1
  83.  @toomeyeh1  ps/ lol
    1
  84.  @EattheApple666  Just because you say something does not make it true. Now apply this to me and everyone else too.
    1
  85.  @dougbutcher4452  Sometimes i say the dumbest reply that comes to mind, just to get a glimpse of how people respond. Several people gave my comment a thumbs up. That is more odd than the question.
    1
  86.  @Korksbebig  That's important. Anyone who doesn't know that answer might think they can live without it.
    1
  87.  @mboyer68  didn't mean for the point of the question to sail above you like that, as if you hadn't a chance to catch it.
    1
  88.  @mboyer68  and you tell your historian there's more than just a leak in the plumbing and he shows you the schematics for your wiring. and he's correct in every detail until your house is sinking.

  89. The biggest slave owners of the 17th century were Puritan males. y'see...?
    1
  90.  @cliffgaither  y'know, Dutch Masters takes on a whole other meaning
    1
  91. i am so glad to be a stupid Caucasian where nothing like this is tossed my way ..PS / these are the Vonnegut asterisks of the world!
    1
  92.  @kyieberry  that is so nice .. except i have no idea what you mean / and as Robert Bly put it .. "it's already too late!"
    1
  93. oh yeah like Spanish Florida

  94.  @asamanyworlds3772  R i g h t.

  95. Nice try. And of course you are OR are not correct. Esp since "Europeans" (i.e. Caucasian supremacy -- which is still prevalent in local school district admins in mid-North America) "Europeans were very successful..." you could say what Europeans did was to their "success". I say "Successful" is a malaprop (suppressful is more accurate, even though the English language doesn't even acknowledge the word -- talk about truth in reporting!) Anyway, one way or another on how many other continents -- so many of the other continents that we were forced to call Europe a continent. Now that is f'd up.

  96.  @luyandzabavukiledlamini4693  that, and "your ass is bigger than your head."
    1
  97. There never was a European identity... that's "One thing many non-Europeans (especially whites in the Americas) "don’t realise (sic) is that, there was never an (“European”) identity." There were so many dukedoms and allegiances crossed that being wealthy was a hazard by the time Shakespeare was old enough to write, his head was spinning.
    1
  98.  @luyandzabavukiledlamini4693  why ? do you study anyone's history ?
    1
  99.  @elqord.1118  Yeah! EXACTLY! Let there be a Palestinian Nation in the UN.
    1
  100. Actually so many runaway slaves were welcome in early 19th century Spanish Florida that the United States of America (tada!) just had to go to war and may have self-exploded to start things off. .. you can't take a sovereign nation to war if your property lust leaves to settle in that nation's territory... even FauxNewts would have a problem explaining that.
    1
  101. You say you speak for "Too many people" when you speak for yourself alone.
    1
  102. How on earth do you speak for "too many people?"
