Right. I've heard it also. That 388,000 illiterate stone-age fuckers from africa built America. And they managed all that by picking cotton in the fucking fields. God I have to laugh whenever I hear it or any of its bastard cousins. Another popular one is that we stole all our prosperity and technology from the black man in africa. Fuck these ignorant assholes, and fuck africa too.
Something I find really fascinating in all this, and not in a good way, that everything now is framed as bad or good only through the lens of how it affects black Americans. And this because of some bullshit BLM propaganda and woke twitter mobs that say they are being persecuted in the U.S.
Years ago my daughter came home from school with a similar injury on her neck. At her school they had these play things made from a string with a ball on one end and a cup on the other. Apparently one of the kids got theirs wrapped around my daughter's neck, and like a fuckwit yanked it to get it free. We switched schools.
Let me help you here. I never said the "huge majority of the country." Feel better now? That thing you're arguing with me about, turns out you just didn't understand what I wrote. Now you don't have to be angry anymore. Have a nice day.
How did I insult you? Won't stop you from doing what, exactly, making any sense whatsoever? According to you, cities that vote Dem aren't part of America? Ok....God forbid you bump into somebody who actually wanted to mess around with you, cause you make it way too damn easy.
"Maybe physically?" In what other sense could I possibly be speaking? Holy shit man. Normally I'd just ignore this kind of thing, but today I feel obligated to say that your reaction to my statement (which was completely correct) is anal retentive on a level that I rarely encounter. Try to argue less my dude.
Probably not Larry's specific source, but a quick search yielded this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/empire_seapower/white_slaves_01.shtml "By extension, for the 250 years between 1530 and 1780, the figure could easily have been as high as 1,250,000 - this is only just over a tenth of the Africans taken as slaves to the Americas from 1500 to 1800..."
That's a nice fake news building you got there. It'd be a shame if someone burned it the fuck down.
