You'd think maybe Rommel would have something. A park or some shit.

You'd think maybe Von Stauffenberg would have something. A park or some shit.

Is that all that's been holding the clack community back? Just take down some statues and rename a few places? Who knew?

Now they'll all get 6 digit income jobs and live in fields of plenty. Our problems are over.

Apparently Rommel has a bunch of shit named after him. Never knew.

Native American tribes enslaved each other and sold each other as slaves going back to the 1500s. Estimates have been between 2 to 4 million Indians (indigenous people) were enslaved. No one knows how far back native tribes were enslaving each other but it went back many centuries. For the most part, of course, there are no paperwork in the native-to-native enslavement, obviously, but there are some paper trails historians have found regarding Europeans enslaving blacks and native people.

The French, Spanish, and English were all heavily involved in the slave trade of natives/Indians. Columbus was definitely involved in the slave trade. He sent natives back to Europe, in fact. Columbus changed the world but he was basically a major douchebag.

You've worded this a bit confusingly. We wouldn't want anyone to misunderstand: there's no evidence Native Americans had any sort of organised slave trade prior to European colonisation. There was a system not dissimilar to the Viking practice of taking thralls, wherein the winning side in a battle/raid took hostages who then worked for the tribe. They were generally later released or assimilated.


It's also worth noting that the 2-4 million figure you mention applies to natives enslaved by whites and transferred to the chattel slavery system. There is an interesting article here https://www.brown.edu/news/2017-02-15/enslavement with regard to practices employed by European slave holders vis-a-vis Native Americans.

So you agree that I was 100% correct in my post.

Yes, but not the false equivalency.

Yup! Get rid of ‘em all, and that’ll do it! Peace love dove, and all that, will be amongst us.

Well.....Of course, after Uncle Ben and Mrs Butterworth, and ‘their kind’, are erased fro history.

So on second thought....no....it never ends.

It's happening all over the world and various statues, it's not just a "clack" thing.

Sure!
That makes it right!
And.....a cure all, for all that ails.
