@TacoforFive1 Road Warrior. The Feral Kid!! Also the voice over narrator telling the story but with a much older actor. I used to call my daughter The Feral Kid.
There is the inconvenient truth of people being caught vandalizing the pool too.
Were you this upset when Obama spent $35 million to fix the pool and it didn’t stop it from losing thousands of gallons of water after he fixed it? The reason for the fix was because Obama’s fix was a failure.
@mray2b1@JoJoFromJerz@karolineleavitt And your qualifications to assess the situation are what? You must be one of the useless proles Orwell warned us about. Just spewing party lines doesn’t make you insightful.
@DeadYup1@ayinde_omot2504@rawsalerts And I agree with you, I just wanted to share that beyond Dahomey, which primarily was Transatlantic. So many people are unaware of the Indian Ocean and Trans-Saharan routes.
We are on the same page😀
Did you complain when Obama lit $35 million on fire to fix the same pool which continued to leak after the fix? Probably not. It’s an effing public monument. Either keep it maintained or get rid of it. How whiny do you have to be to complain about trying to fix and make look nice for public monuments.
It is the ultimate “get a life.”
Wasn’t just Dahomey, though in spite of Netflix, those Dahomey warriors were ruthless killers and not abolitionists. (Their training included beheading ties up prisoners to desensitize them to killings).
There was equal slave trades going in the opposite direction for the Indian Ocean and Trans Saharan that were more brutal and deadlier.
Slavery was a horrible institution but ironically the US was the place where their survival rate was much higher . Unlike other colonies many slave owners encouraged families to procreate .Unlike the other new world colonies where most died in 7-10 years. Or unlike the males who went to India, Madagascar, or the Middle East who were primitively castrated in a process that had a 80-90% fatality rate and the women were forced into prostitution in harems. That was after surviving a march to slave markets that had an 80% death rate.
Does it bother you that your ancestors were enslaved by people of African descent?
Be thankful your ancestors were sent to what became the United States. If your ancestors were shipped to the Trans-Saharan or Indian Ocean slave trades. The males were castrated in a process called “shaving” where their penises and testicles were removed. A reed was shoved in the opening so the urethra wouldn’t close, and it had about a 10% survival rate.
No whites or Europeans involved.
How about the rituals of sacrifice of slaves and prisoners in Africa?
In the US, they stopped importing slaves in 1808.
Roughly 600,000 slaves were shipped to what has become the US. The conditions were so much better in the US , the population GREW to 4 million.
EVERY OTHER SLAVE COLONY had net growth with life expectancies to be 7-10 years.
Read up on how Africans and other colonies treated slaves. Don’t be a clown 🤡
If you were given an option of Trans Saharan or Indian Ocean slave trades or anywhere but the US in the Trans Atlantic trade, you would have volunteered to row the boats to the US colonies or during the first 30 years. The United States had slavery for less than 100 years and only allowed the import of slaves for 30 years.
Slavery lasted in the US for less than 100 years, ending roughly 1863
Africa slavery existed for all recorded history and over 3000 years and finally had the last slave trading country, Mauritania agreed to stop official slavery in 1981, though they still have chattel slave markets today.
If your ancestors were slaves, the persons who captured and enslaved them were Black Africans. Period.
Be thankful that white Christian males fought battles to stop Africans from continuing to enslave people. More facts!
If you’re interested in history, they invented these things called books and the internet. They carry a lot more information than simple memes.
THE US had nothing to do with the slave trade in the Caribbean. Those were European colonies.
What needs to also be included is the entire continent of Africa. Fact nearly every single slave of African descent outside of Africa was a slave in Africa first.
Nearly every single one. Do a simple search. Europeans purchased slaves from Africans.
Africans were the HENRY FORD’s of slavery. They exported slaves from the year 800 AD. Every slave out of Africa was either captured in war or raids by African tribes; sold as a repayment of family debt (you could even sell nieces and nephews) or were placed as punishment for crimes. Period.
Europeans didn’t invent slavery. But they did end it.
Slavery dominated Africa for all recorded millennia. If reparations are owed then Africa must be in the conversation.
Blaming slave owners only is like blaming the drug users but ignoring the manufacturers and dealers, and then claiming we owe the dealers and manufacturers money because the drug users were using drugs.
Also, people of African descent owned slaves in the US
🤡 90% of the crimes against African Americans are committed by African Americans.
Read a book.
Did you know early every single slave of African descent….nearly every single person… was a slave in Africa prior to being sold? Blacks have been committing crimes against other blacks for all millennia.
@RamziZuraikat@BarackObama@MichelleObama Kind of hard when you’re hose people are literally conspiring with each other and national agencies to bring him down and creating an environment where he has had multiple attempts on his life.
@aintscarylarry Now do this for Obama’s Whitehouse admin for spending $35 million and still needed money because it didn’t stop losing thousands of gallons. It also needed almost immediately needed cleaning.
Be consistent. Not a political hack.
@DonFellany@DHSgov Do you want to bring back the daily ritual human sacrifice of SLAVES that European explorers witnessed? Aztecs were quite adept at taking the hearts out of their wide awake victims.
@medeabenjamin I liked the Whitehouse event where a giant rabbit was making sure the President didn’t speak to anyone. That was the most surreal event held at the Whitehouse.
