Bracing myself for the hate from this one…
About 450,000 African slaves were taken from Africa to North America.
Meanwhile, about 1.25 million Europeans (English, French, Icelandic, Danes, Dutch, Welsh, etc) were taken from Europe to Africa as slaves.
Yes, 1.25 million!!!
See this drawing from 1675 showing the slave journey.
The women were mainly used as sex slaves or domestic servants.
The men as labourers or soldiers, with some undergoing castration and becoming eunuchs.
It was considered a sign of prosperity for an Algerian or Turkish leader to have white skinned eunuchs and female sex slaves.
The punishments for these slaves were horrific. Their noses and ears cut off for misbehaving, shackled in chains.
In many cases they were forced to convert to Islam. Their children were taken from them and often faced a difficult fate as sex slaves.
So, if you want to talk about reparations, let’s start here.
@snorkgalois @taotheking1550@wealthpotion@PeterZeihan Like how the CEO of Huawei uses Apple products while CCP leaders preach the superiority of Huawei and condemn western tech?
The term Tofu dreg is expressly a Chinese thing for a reason.
@ChinaTeacher1@PeterZeihan Early 1970s promotion of family planning also emphasized the slogan, "Three is too many, one is not enough -- two is perfect."
@waters_deng@ChinaTeacher1@PeterZeihan and Premier Zhou Enlai enacted population growth targets for urban and rural areas, respectively. Malthusian concerns continued, with two-child restrictions starting in the early 1970s under the later-longer-fewer program.
@waters_deng@ChinaTeacher1@PeterZeihan Family planning was first introduced in the 1950s as a "recommendation", yet had never been strictly implemented until 1970, when the Military Control Commission of China's Ministry of Health announced that contraceptives would be provided free of charge...
@BubuDavid1@JThug8484@andymok @ShawnHerHer @PeterZeihan China is the most DEpendent not independent nation in the world on foreign trade. If the US ever stops protecting the shipping lanes, China will not be able to keep the trade going. Everything that has made China what it is today is because the US keeps those sea lanes safe.
@IowaLauren @periodicaudio@jan_forney @omunderdal @POTUS You can't kill people with a ballot, you're really gonna make that case?
George W. Bush was voted into office then preceded to massacre of over a million Iraqi civilians during the war in Iraq.
@tricia61862@fadde@POTUS I won't fallow these "requirements" and thus face heavy penalties and fines, I will not pay, they will send someone to arrest me, I will resist and well... I'm guessing you can figure out the rest.
