Is this likely true? A Truth Bomb?

Rough estimate: the US White population today would be perhaps 400k–1.5M higher.

This assumes ~80k–120k prevented White deaths by Black perpetrators since 1865 (most homicides intra-racial; modern FBI data shows ~15% of known White victims killed by Black offenders) plus average lineage effects over generations.

The difference is negligible next to ~195M non-Hispanic Whites, driven overwhelmingly by European immigration and broad fertility trends. Exact lineages cannot be modeled precisely from available data.

I've occasionally wondered how many blacks were lynched vs how many whites have been killed by blacks.

As for the OP X post, are there accurate statistics on how many blacks were "killed" by whites during slavery.

I've read several books that addressed that.

The general consensus was that more died at the hands of slave traders, on ships, than died once they reached the Colonies.

Once here, once they became "property," it wasn't just frowned upon for Christian reasons, it was frowned upon for business reasons.

Investment reasons. Production reasons.

It took a lot, something really bad, for a slave to be hanged or shot. It didn't take place as often as Hollywood tries to depict it. And it usually was recorded.

Like Scrooster said... we tend to take care of our property- especially property that is for earning our income.

I'm sure there must have been some hothead assholes- but for the most part you take care of your investments.

Not doubting this in the least.

During the COVID "pandemic," if someone was killed in an auto accident but had tested positive for COVID, then cause of death might be attributed to COVID. In the case of the death of a slave, if Hollywood wanted to inflate the #s, they might well count any death from flu, etc to 'killed by owner." Conversely, someone else may only count those known to have been killed by owner for cause, e.g., as punishment should one slave have murdered another.

I was just asking what's the pedigree of the data. That's all.

African tribes sold members of defeated or captured rival tribes to slave traders, who then transported them to the New World. Europeans also brought many slaves to the New World. Therefore, anyone seeking reparations should first direct their claims to Africa and Europe.

Capitalizing Black and White is something that I haven’t seen before. Usually Black gets capitalized and white remains unchanged. Some see racism, while others assert their inability to be racist because of their skin color.

Either way, when it comes to sowing division based on skin color, the dems have never stopped.

Using black and white assigns no undue significance to ordinary fact. Using Black and White is underscored by the promulgation of ideas surrounding segregation based on skin color.

The way you choose to use these terms says a lot about you as a human being.

A surprising Truth Bomb: forgotten history is the never-before-told story of Americans lured to soviet russia by promises of jobs and a better life, but met a tragic end.

In the 1940s, the soviets did not want it to be made public that so many Americans had come to russia or that so many American industrialists had helped industrialize the soviet union.

In March 1932, the New York Times reported that immigration to the soviet union was 1,000 people a week, but continued to grow.
By 1937, tens of thousands of Americans had been arrested, many executed. Others were sent to GULAG camps, where they died at back-breaking work.
