@caitlin33820755 I agree! This felt completely illogical! Did he know he was going to die shortly after? Was this his retirement? #AuburnWorldHistory

@auburntiger0067 Unfortunately that’s how the city has always operated. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

So they let the bank foreclose on the university just so they could buy it back under a different name? How did the bank not realize what they were doing? #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

Douglas was even named as the plantations general manager?? I mean come on what more evidence do you need. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

Who in their right mind would actually believe Douglas claiming plausible deniability? Who would believe that he had no idea that HIS WIFE, owned a massive plantation with that many slaves and he just didn’t know about it? #AuburnWorldHistory

@LucasJo58105038 I think it’s an interesting question. How would the globe look now? Would the continent of Africa be thriving? What of the United States? #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

@CarterZaneZane I think this is a great point. She also explains that the communication problem directly stems from the colonization of Africa. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

“The Berlin conference is alive and well”. This makes you think... what should the countries who caused this do to fix their mistake? Should those countries attempt to step in? Do the people of Africa want their help? #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

The analogy Dr. Quao uses describing the Europeans as heavyweight boxers is perfect. They never helped the African countries (the lightweight boxers) grow and learn to fight at the heavyweight level. Hopefully someday they will be able to. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

I never knew that the countries that colonized Africa created economies that could never succeed on their own. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

I’m curious as to why the UNIA felt the need to move their headquarters from Harlem to Cleveland. Was it the Almere size of the chapter there? We’re there other factors that played a more major role? #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

“African Dispora” and “Garveyism” were two major points of the philosophy of “black pride”. Today it seems as though these ideas have become extremely relevant and even repopularize during these past few months. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

This article brings up how “an estimated 4,000 black women” entered the army during world war 2. The stories that they have are probably unbelievable and somehow we have never once learned about them in school before. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

@GabeWoo74589239 That is absolutely insane. The border that they created is such a mess and yet I’m sure from space it looks immaculate. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

@GabeWoo74589239 Imagine if we had done this in the United States... #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

This new border caused so much unnecessary migration. Absolutely chaotic and the reason for all of the violence that took place. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

Why did England decide to transfer power to their colonies in India in 4 months when it was projected to take 5 years to be successful? That is a very steep difference. No wonder the two borders were drawn like that. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

This gathering of people around a border wall between Pakistan and India is unbelievable. People are yelling and chanting but also there are concessions and memorabilia being sold. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

“Colonialist Europe has grafted modern abuse on to ancient injustice”. Wouldn’t this just be the same thing? Abuse is already an injustice. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Carter_Heisinger-AUHIST @AuhistCarter]

People fear what they don’t understand. So while colonization may not have been the best way to place civilizations in contact with each other, it was inevitable. #AuburnWorldHistory
