re: Interesting facts about slavery I'll bet you didn't know.

continuing to try to get people lost in the trees so they don't see the forest. straight out of the lib playbook

what are you babbling about? I have repeatedly said that I think reparations are a stupid idea.

I also think that it is unacceptable to tell lies, even in opposition to stupid ideas. The Ellison story as presented in the OP is a straight-up lie, and I exposed it.

It was not ME who demanded proof that Ellison was probably not even in the top 1,000 largest slave owners in the country. I just provided a response to that demand.

The OP is a needle in the haystack

you are wrong. it is not the exception that proves the rule. again, have you ever heard of africa?

quote:

Just because the needle is found doesn't change the exceptionality of the thing

---

the whole point was that it wasn't exceptional. it's how the colonial world worked. slavery was a part of life on basically every continent. yes, people did bad things to other people. it was not a case of white vs black. you may not like this but, that's what almost all libs today in the us believe, especially young people. i know because i'm around them all the time. it's almost all they talk about. it is latent in every one of their social justice causes.

quote:

---

a handful of freedmen, who themselves became slaveholders, was rare

which is of course missing the point. the numbers don't matter. the PRACTICE matters. it was practiced by people of all walks, all ethnicities. that fact makes all the difference in the world. also, you are still ignoring the MONUMENTAL slavery numbers in africa.

Interesting how we automatically equate slavery in the Americas with “negros” from West Africa.

Interesting how the painting depicting him used in the textbook used can do such a thing...

There is absolutely no evidence taht she had any such goal.

So you find zero evidence supporting Sanger’s stance in Eugenics? That is willful ignorance.

You also staggeringly think there is evidence of trump/Russia.

You aren’t very good at evaluating evidence, it appears.

if Lincoln would have tried to rally the union to end slavery basically nobody would have shown up

Well, a few of the Abolitionists would likely have volunteered. But it would have been like sending the participants from a Me Too rally to fight organized Southron militias.

reparations is a losing issue, the democrats will hang themselves with it.

True

Your just finding this out? How old are you?

can you prove them to false?

Of course she supported some eugenic practices, such as sterilization of the mentally retarded. That is a far cry from Black genocide. I have seen zero evidence of the latter. If you think it exists, present it.

Where do you get this nonsense? I have spent two years saying that I do not think it happened. At most, I said that there was enough smoke (e.g. Trump Tower) to look into the matter. We did, and got the result that I anticipated.

Read the thread. Several of them HAVE been proven false .... at least Ellison, Johnson (in part) and business and property ownership.
