@48Seanehqe @VT_Jizzy @DragonHatesBaal @Hope1621 @rirokpik Does Dennis Radar’s daughter need to take accountability for all the things he did and people he killed?

[TxBrooks84 @Brooks84Tx]

@48Seanehqe @VT_Jizzy @DragonHatesBaal @Hope1621 @rirokpik I didn’t do any of it, that is correct. And I have no Portuguese ancestry that I’ve ever been able to find. And I feel absolutely no different than before Trump was president, nor after he was became president.

@VT_Jizzy @48Seanehqe @DragonHatesBaal @Hope1621 @rirokpik But, everything you posted in those images talk about how their attempts at raiding expeditions, by all accounts, failed miserably. And the only time they got any Africans to take as slaves, were when other Africans assisted them.

@mgodissavior @oldgymbro @rirokpik I’m not defending any form of slavery here, but if you think slavery in the US was the most inhumane and cruel form, you should definitely read up on some of the West African kingdoms from that time period. Start with the Kingdom of Dahomey. Their slaves prayed to be sold away.

@VT_Jizzy @BASEDMAXING @BTB_Trade_Team @rirokpik John Punch was given a sentence of lifelong servitude for running away as an indentured servant, which was illegal at the time. John Casor simply said his contract had expired, so Anthony Johnson took him to court and claimed he owned him for life.

@Onlineband_it @ThePerishCrew @rirokpik They didn’t bring the diseases, they already existed there. Diseases like malaria, yellow fever, and African trypanosomiasis, the Europeans had no natural immunity for. The high likelihood of dying from catching one of those, kept them confined to coastal ports

@Capta1nAsh @camolNFT If by steal you mean paid $15 million for Mexico while also assuming $3.25 million of their debt, then sure, they stole it.

[TxBrooks84 @Brooks84Tx]

@CactusSunnnn @F1lthyP1neapple If the US wanted to steal their land, they wouldn’t have paid for it after the US troops had surrounded Mexico City. They would have just taken all of Mexico.

@tintinhaddock47 @CactusSunnnn @vallivue19 Tejano’s are from Texas.

[TxBrooks84 @Brooks84Tx]

@Jetlag_89 @CactusSunnnn @vallivue19 Pretty sure yall tried to take them back in 1812

[TxBrooks84 @Brooks84Tx]

@aytoozeeusa @StaevStorm @SpursVentura @amyknowsball Yeah he did kill more natives than the pilgrims did.

[TxBrooks84 @Brooks84Tx]

@deviousbastrd @Mendel_Select @SpursVentura @amyknowsball Mexico speaks Spanish because it was colonized by Spain. The US speaks English because it was colonized by England. Both countries fought for and won their respective independence.

@Abountifulsoul @grok @Iam_RFX @WilliamSalyers6 @RoyIsThaTruth @grok you should tell her all about the Kingdom of Dahomey, and how likely their slaves were to ever gain their freedom or integrate into their society. And didn’t they do some testing on the old palace walls there, and found something interesting inside them as well?

[TxBrooks84 @Brooks84Tx]

@nithgenga @hitmanwaffen @larata_media @Tr00peRR There were slaves in the north as well. Delaware and Kentucky were the last hold outs, and didn’t free their slaves until December 1865, when they were forced to by the ratification of the 13th amendment.

[TxBrooks84 @Brooks84Tx]

@CashewClover @TheRedYeti1977 @anonettttte @LFRFamily Well, according to this map that was done, the south is not where you’re more likely to come across a suspected sundown towns.

[TxBrooks84 @Brooks84Tx]

@miggyboutanut @TheToxicBulborb @JSRG2137 @user138729292 @HowlingHomo Because July 4th was when they voted to approve the declaration, and the days it was first printed to be distributed to the public. So July 4th is still relevant.

[TxBrooks84 @Brooks84Tx]

@miggyboutanut @TheToxicBulborb @JSRG2137 @user138729292 @HowlingHomo But it’s being explained to people as being the date the last slaves were freed from the last holdout of slavery, which isn’t historically accurate. Why not explain it as just being a day to celebrate the end of slavery, instead of adding in the historically inaccurate aspects?

[TxBrooks84 @Brooks84Tx]

@miggyboutanut @TheToxicBulborb @JSRG2137 @user138729292 @HowlingHomo Riiight. Ok so back to why it doesnt make sense to me to choose a Texas holiday as a national holiday. Why was it chosen and explained to people as when slavery ended when it wasnt? Did they just not want to talk or think about how it wasnt just confederate states who had slaves?

[TxBrooks84 @Brooks84Tx]

@miggyboutanut @TheToxicBulborb @JSRG2137 @user138729292 @HowlingHomo To celebrate the day general order number 3 was first read in Texas, as the day the last slaves were freed, is disingenuous, and ignores the 100,000 that remained enslaved due to the Emancipation Proclamation only applying to states in open rebellion of the Union.

[TxBrooks84 @Brooks84Tx]

@miggyboutanut @TheToxicBulborb @JSRG2137 @user138729292 @HowlingHomo No, it would make much more sense. The date the last slaves were declared freed is a very well known date. December 18, 1865. 100,00 people remained legal slaves for the 6 months between June 19, 1865 and December 18, 1865. Not including the slaves that remained on reservation.
