  • It's always been an arguement that the lack of indentured servants were a big part in the start of slavery. Even more so the subject of slavery is touchy even when it comes from a black person.

  • And at the end of the day they're probably still better off for having come here.

    I'm part Polish believe it or not and I'm glad we took the train on into America.
  • Egyptians were a great society in ancient times, built on slaves backs of course. Now look at them.

  • But slaves didnt build the pyramids. Once again americans show off their profound ignorance and willingness to buy into whatever picture american culture decides to paint for them. In this case im sure wss had a flash of charlton heston playing moses.....and of course our resident stable boy diehard who comes from a long lineage of shit scoopers, he displays his genetic deficiency daily

    Moses led the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt.

  • Cool joo stories. Fact is we were told for hindreds of years that slaves built the pyramids. Actually we're told alot of things and uncoincidentally alot ofbitbis based off biblical stories. But every so often archaeologists uncover sonethingbthat blows these cool stories out of the water.

    As for the hebrews i hope they were slaves, afterall did they not di the exact same thing to the cannaanites?

    I have read many archeological articles that prove the accuracy of the biblical accounts of history.

    And may I say that your people know a hell of a lot more about it. And genocide. And imperialism. I could go on. Oh wait, let me not forget the smiley face, cause that always makes cheap shots better, as you've demonstrated on multiple occasions. 🙂

    Come on bud you had to enjoy that cheap shot though right? The pyramids werent built with union labor.

    Anyhow my people would probably be the Irish or the Prussians.

    And at least one of my ancestors was an abolitionist.

    You should listen to Malcolm Gladwell's podcast, Revisionist History, particularly the the episode "The Lady Vanishes" because they talk about moral licensing and that's what you are doing here. But I like how you get all specific about who 'your people' are but have no problem generalizing about someone else.

    You should really try to think a bit more critically about the euro/amero-centric history you were taught in school. Had I known you were talking about the Pyramids, I would've pointed out how wrong you are. Cleve did it for me, though. Thanks Cleve.

    Moral licensing? Come on dude I was giving you a little bit of shit since you were belly aching about slavery and I know the Egyptians have been famous for it.

    And personally as far as my Irish and Prussian ancestors, probably both of which were Vikings, I don't much care about world dominance and colonialism or any of that stuff either.

    I assume every group of human beings can go back in time and find somewhere that they were treated poorly. Tough shit. So unless Queen Elizabeth or Frederick the Greats great great grandchildren want to pay me some reparations, well you get the idea.
