I want to describe the Middle Passage to you.

Not abstractly.

Specifically.

Enslaved people were loaded onto ships in West Africa at a ratio calculated to maximize profit after accounting for expected deaths in transit.

They were chained in holds with roughly eighteen inches of vertical space, unable to sit upright, lying in their own excrement for voyages that lasted between three weeks and three months.

Mortality rates on Middle Passage ships averaged between 10 and 20 percent.

On some voyages, significantly higher.

Historians estimate that between 1.5 and 2 million people died during the crossing, their bodies thrown into the Atlantic.

Those who arrived alive were washed, oiled to appear healthy, and sold on docks while buyers examined their teeth and bodies like livestock.

You described this system as "not necessarily a nightmare" and compared the labor that followed to picking crops in Africa.

I am not going to debate you on the merits of this position.

I am going to ask you to read what I just wrote.

And then I am going to ask you whether the problem is that you don't know this history, or that you know it and have decided it doesn't change your argument.

Because the answer to that question tells us something important.

Not about slavery.

About you.

Actually, this photo is PROOF that gullible dimwits will believe a Shakira concert in Rio is London and it will be wildly shared and liked because Musk's X is designed to encourage and reward such lies and misinformation.

Awful news that Alex Manninger has passed away after a car accident. Played such a key role in the 1998 double, stepping up when the team needed him with David Seaman out.

Tragic news.

[REDaction Gooners @REDactionAFC]

Due to what can only be described as an admin fuckup, a long time friend of ours is 2 tickets short for tonight’s game.

Will be in Southampton by lunchtime - if anybody finds themselves with extra, please shout. 🤞

If Aston Villa win today they could go 4 points behind Arsenal at the top of the table...

Could Emery snatch the title from Arteta? 🏆

Good morning all, I’m on the hunt for a ticket tonight to transfer to a red member I know that’s over from the US. Any retweets would be greatly appreciated. Happy to pay FV or possibly a bit more.
