Bro there are people still alive from when this existed.

@Morbidful Africans were kidnapped from Africa and brought to be exhibited in the human zoos and many of them died quickly. The Human Zoo died out after WW II. Oddly it was Hitler who first banned them. The last was in Belgium in 1958.

The story of his life:

Ota Benga was born around 1883 in the Ituri Forest of the Congo Free State, which is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He belonged to the Mbuti people, a group of Congo pygmies known for their nomadic lifestyle.

After returning from a hunting trip to find his village destroyed and his family killed, Benga was captured and sold into slavery. In 1904, he was discovered by American businessman and explorer Samuel Phillips Verner at a slave market. Verner brought Benga to the United States to be displayed at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri, and later at the Bronx Zoo in New York City, where he was exhibited alongside an orangutan.

Following protests against his inhumane treatment, Benga was released from the zoo and placed in the care of James H. Gordon, who supervised the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum in Brooklyn. Benga was later moved to Lynchburg, Virginia, where he received tutoring in English and worked at a tobacco factory.

Benga longed to return to Africa, and efforts were made to facilitate his journey back. However, the outbreak of World War I in 1914 halted passenger ship travel, trapping him in the United States.

Struggling with depression and unable to return home, Ota Benga took his own life on March 20, 1916, in Lynchburg, Virginia. He was approximately 33 years old.

Benga’s story is a stark reminder of the dark aspects of colonialism and the exploitation of individuals for entertainment.

Cristano Ronaldo's newborn baby was in the hospital so couldn't attend some meaningless preseason friendlies. The club, the coach and majority of the fanbase treated him like he has done some unspeakable crime.

Compare that to the Rashford situation now, was out partying a day before a competitive game, but it's an internal matter now , no outrage from the fanbase either

The United Nation voted to make food a right.

Two countries, and only two countries, voted against it.

Because the two countries believe they can deny others the right to food.

No electricity means more than just terrifying darkness and cold.
It means no ventilators, no surgeries. It means not even basic emergency care.

This is, by definition, a war crime.

This is why so many leftists have been arguing against running within the Democratic Party. Period. We already learned everything we needed to learn from Bernie’s two runs.

Supporting third party candidates threatens the Dem’s rigged system and forces a conversation about ending first-past-the-post-voting.

There are two types of billionaires in this world:

— One is @elonmusk, who’s shipped over **650** Starlink internet kits to 40+ organizations across Maui in order to re-connect victims

— The other is @Oprah, who’s funneling money into one of her organizations from middle class folks on social media

I haven’t met a SINGLE person here on Maui that’s gotten a dime from Oprah, but I’ve met dozens that’ve benefiting TREMENDOUSLY from @SpaceX’s internet connection.

Is it too much to ask Oprah, who owns over 2,200 acres on Maui, to step up?!

(* If anyone’s received anything from
Oprah personally please let me know! I’d love to speak with you.)

[Peter Daou @peterdaou]

My motivation in recent months is straightforward:

I'm sick of Democratic Party hypocrisy.

I've opposed the GOP my entire political career, and it's disgusting to see corporate Dems do the same shit they accuse Republicans of, and still get adored by their liberal fans.

Did you know this?

3 minutes before the second plane hit World Trade Center 2, an announcement went out to everyone in the building:

"WTC is secure/safe, please return to your offices."

Many who called 911 were told: shelter in place. Wait to be rescued.

Some people listened.

Thankfully, many did not.

That’s one implication of the 298-page report published by 2005 by the National Institute on Standards and Technology.

Why did four times as many people survive 9/11 by evacuating the building as died?

They disobeyed authority.

They used the elevators. They left their desks. They fled the buildings.

The emergency personnel were doing their best with limited information.

But their advice was not only wrong, but deadly.

How many more would have died if their advice had been heeded?

You absolutely do not have to vote for Joe Biden. Even if you live in a swing state.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Julian Assange faces up to 175 years in prison for publishing a video showing US Forces firing on Iraqi civilians, including children.

Meanwhile, Bush, Cheney, Condoleezza Rice and Tony Blair are still free, and Joe Biden, who championed the Iraq War, is president.

Clown world.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, King Leopold II of Belgium ruled over the Congo Free State as his personal colony. Under his exploitative regime, the Congolese people suffered immensely. King Leopold's primary motive was to extract as much wealth as possible from the Congo, particularly through the production of rubber.

To enforce his control and maximize profits, King Leopold imposed a reign of terror on the Congolese population. This photo mentioned captures a grim aspect of the brutality. Congolese individuals who failed to meet the demanding rubber production quotas set by the Belgian administration were subjected to severe punishment.

Thousands of Congolese were subjected to executions, including public hangings, or had their hands amputated as a means of punishment. These cruel acts were carried out as a deterrent and as a means of maintaining control over the local population. The atrocities committed during this period have been well-documented and are considered one of the darkest chapters in colonial history.

In the photo, a child victim of these Belgian atrocities in the Congo is depicted alongside a missionary. Missionaries played a complex role during this time, as some were complicit in the exploitative system, while others may have provided some level of humanitarian assistance. The image serves as a haunting reminder of the profound suffering endured by the Congolese people under King Leopold's oppressive regime.
