Then if this is true, why didn't they shank the punk with their kirpans?

Because they know what they're doing.

I don't get that one.

Owning slaves meant you were a manager needing to keep "your property" happy enough not to rebel or organize to kill you. You could do this with the carrot and stick, too much carrot, lazy and ungrateful and no production, too much stick, angry and resentful, possibly murderous.

Slaves were people, not machines. They didn't just automatically follow orders without question. The owner depended on their property, and their property depended on their owner. It's not as simple a dynamic as we're taught.

When the American Civil War ended, a bunch of slaves were freed. SOME were allowed to stay on the property to be "share croppers", where they then rented their shacks, but stayed on. Others, the plantation was destroyed and they were discharged from their servitude. They wouldn't be hired for any work because they had no education or skills - they starved to death, in the MILLIONS.

They don't teach that in the history books do they?

Slavery was an awful institution, but we still have it. We have it in the United States, we just don't call it that.

It's called debt. Not only do you have to pay back the principal, the bank gets a cut of your future income.

Interest compounds both ways. It can help us master our life, or enslave us to the usurer.

A lot of truth in it. The media however isnt.any better in Europe, also mostly govt controlled propaganda. One hard truth is that in Europe you get a lot for your taxes paid, whereas in the US most get jack shit for their taxes paid (unless on the dole).

That dude is trapped in a hell of his own making.

Remember one thing about the video and the commenters: They're not experiencing Europe as a Hungarian Truck Driver, a Polish shop clerk, Greek Cab Driver in Athens, or a Parisian Ambulance Driver. But as an American IT Whiz in Amsterdam or Bankster in Frankfurt.

They're experiencing Europe as a trained International Bobo professional; they discuss going to US Elite Universities for advanced degrees.

You'll also notice few if any comments about living in Eastern or Southern Europe.

Uh, Oh. Beginning to look like Netflix and the EO Rockettes are Satanic inversion opera.

I dunno, too many smart Black guys around to think there is any measurable variance in intelligence by race.

Notice the last bullet point in the Key points section. Normally researchers go find real Africans in Africa for such a comparison. I'm not sure if they did that but they are basically admitting that some of the 'Africans' are part 'Caucasian'. Like in the US. Lots of Afro Americans here are 20, 30% or more 'white'.

I was just discussing this with my allergist and how European and African people have 'wet' earwax where Asian's have 'dry' earwax. He didn't know this but thought about it and said, "You know, I don't get many Orientals but now that I think back on it I can't remember any of them having a build up of earwax."

He's and older Hispanic gentleman.

One key to understanding conflicting results is that "Africans" is not a homogeneous group at all. Because humans evolved in Africa, they had the longest time to evolve big differences between groups there. The genetic (and linguistic) diversity of Africa is huge, with genetic differences between the various groups often larger than the genetic difference between Europeans and Asians, who represent a fairly small subset of the genetic diversity of Africa.

Tallest people in the world? The Tutsi, in Africa. Shortest people in the world? The pygmies, in Africa.
Fastest sprinters in the world? All of them have West African background. Best marathoners? Almost all are from East Africa.

So you'd think that intelligence would also show a similar range in Africa.

The Igbo of Nigeria seems quite smart, doing very well at Western universities (and running a lot of those "Nigerian prince" scams).

But with some other African groups, not so much. The really surprising result would be if intelligence were not measurably different among human groups the way it is with dogs.

Carefully worded question to ChatGPT

This is correct and by comparison all of the 'races' that left Africa look relatively quite inbred. All of them. But then the entire human race is pretty damn inbred relative to other animals AND relative to all of the other 'humans' that were running around 30, 60, 90 thousand years ago. There may be nearly 8 billion of us now but back then much more genetic diversity.

Some biologists have concern that something will come along and wipe us out because there will not be some edge case genetic variants that are able to survive whatever that might be.

Note: Neanderthals are also considered humans, etc.,

My only beef with the above picture is the plane needs the IHS flag:

Please, always be inclusive: in the Church and in society, which is still marred by many forms of inequality and marginalization. Always be inclusive. Today, the day in which Bishop Scalabrini becomes a saint, I think of emigrants. The exclusion of emigrants is scandalous. Actually, the exclusion of emigrants is criminal. They are dying right in front of us, as the Mediterranean is the largest cemetery in the world. The exclusion of emigrants is revolting, sinful and criminal. Not opening doors to those in need – “No, we do not exclude them, we send them away” to camps, where they are exploited and sold like slaves. Brothers and sisters, today let us call to mind these emigrants, especially those who are dying. And those who are able to enter, do we welcome them as brothers and sisters or do we exploit them? I simply pose the question.
