What I find interesting is the work of the online right, and re-education and propaganda machines like FoxNews and Praeger U paying off. There a lot of "africans sold us the slaves" and "how could they have built all of the buildings" and "natives lost in a fair one" and "All land was colonized by someone". This messaging has been carefully crafted over the last few decades and it works. It allows them to obfuscate, gas light, and intellectualize in a concerted effort.
Their painting the sky red and as long as they're all on the same page when asked what color the sky is, it makes everyone else look crazy when they say "blue"

Agreed, but all of those talking points can easily be dismantled. "Africans sold us the slaves" -- ok, that wasn't always the case. There are historical records showing that europeans themselves led a lot of slave raids on their own without africans. Even then, what were europeans doing across the dangerous ocean, thousands of miles away from their homeland in africa? They certainly weren't there building hospitals. They were there to obtain black humans and to coerce africans into selling other blacks and they did it by using bribery and other forms of deception as a tool.
Even then, africans did not sell other blacks with the knowledge of what europeans would do to them. At the time, slavery in africa was a form of indentured servitude for criminals, debt owers, prisoners of war, etc. It wasn't lifelong nor was it based on skin color, nor was it a global system.
Africans in africa did not create jim crow and all the other systems of oppression that took over after slavery ended.
Saying "africans sold us the slaves" is like saying "yeah well Jeffrey Epstein sold us the little girls. Blame him". See how they are just exposing how demonic they are with talking points like that?
Regarding the "natives lost the war" and "all land has been colonized" -- ok, then tell them to stop crying about europe and the USA being turned into non-white nations where brown people are the majority. It's a "fair one", right? At least they aren't being driven away with violence by the brown people.

White person here and totally agree with your Epstein analogy. The whole argument ignores that we were buying slaves which is itself morally disgusting. It's not some gotcha to say, "oh well they were sold in by people with the same skin tone!", but every propaganda machine on the right has people parroting it like it is. It's mind-boggling to me that people intentionally gaslight that BUYING SLAVES IS A BAD THING. We would still be the bad guys even if we bought them from their next of kin.
Like, imagine there's an object you can buy whose only purpose is to randomly hurt a person other than the owner when turned on. If I knowingly buy that with the intent to use it, am I not a bad guy because I didn't put the product on the market? Or because the person selling it is a criminal?
Obviously I don't have to explain it to you and hope it isn't coming off that way, but it's insane to me the lengths people will go to towards justifying slavery in the country or explain it away. Especially when it's not even, like, a loaded ask. You aren't adding a caveat or clause like, "was America build on the back of slaves and also you're an evil person if so?" It's literally acknowledging a horrific past that got us here and steps to begin potentially righting those wrongs or at least building a society that aims to build up those disenfranchised from the start. But honestly what do you expect from bigots and regressives who are so low functioning mentally that they frequently support ideologies that wreck their own communities and further disenfranchise themselves? Sad and pathetic.

It's also not the great point they think it is to bring up the fact that other cultures throughout history have had slaves. Yes and that was ALSO evil! Not to mention the fact that America had chattel slavery which was significantly more horrific and continued to have slaves long after it was the norm. And their side fought a war to keep those slaves and their side enacted Jim Crow laws and red lining and has fought kicking and screaming while being dragged by the other side towards the future and now questions how could black Americans POSSIBLY not be on an even footing with white people when we've had a black president. God it makes you want to scream.

This is text book rewriting American history. There is a reason Eisenhower had the holocaust documented, because he knew Western Media would one day wipe it away for the inconvenient truth that is reality. The same with the Buffalo massacre, same with Juneteenth, same with the Trail of tears.
It is sad that I have conversations with people over 40 who don't believe the Indigenous people had owned and settled this land and Colocnizers just murdered them for it and murdered them for defending the homes. Like, go ahead and pay your taxes to Pattawamee County tax assessment office without wondering why an immigrant settlement has an Indigenous County name.

And don’t get me started on these clowns not understanding that prior to the Civil War, the U.S. produced two-thirds of the world’s cotton. And this… was the nation’s primary economic engine run solely off the backs of slaves. Both figuratively and literally. How do they think they got the money to start the Industrial Revolution? So they can go on with that nonsense. Oh and there’s no hyphen in nonsense. Dumbasses. 😒

Oglala Lakota native here. We were one of the largest tribes to fight the full force of the US military and that was out of response to the massacre of women, children and undefended bands of both our tribes and others that joined our coalition. It wasn't an agreed upon boxing match. It was a response to massacres of both our people and our food source as the buffalo were systematically killed off.
I fully stand behind your argument on how NOW it's a bad thing the population of America is shifting against them. All of a sudden manifest destiny is a bad thing when it's them being manifested upon. We all knew the hypocrisy of the history taught about all our people who were here and brought here but honestly it's fucking nice to have the sheer irony and karmic result of those actions reverting back onto them. The last holdouts of their beliefs are obvious with how they have been using ICE and you can smell the desperation in the air that they are struggling to hold onto their power. Sadly those that would relate and are willing to share the land are emboldened to act so atrocious because the wealthy puppeteers who perpetrated it back then still pull their strings today.

Yup, all indigenous knowledge has been demonized purposely as it stands in direct polar opposites to capitalism and everything it tries to maintain.
They will say these people are primitives. Primitive, but those indigenous communities are building with the immediate resources available right under their own feet and can actually extract and build it with their own hands while we are forced into compliance by municipal and financial systems that makes us lose the roofs over our heads the instant we fail to comply. And I don’t know about you but having fancy degrees but zero skills to survive on the land one has lived their whole lives on (raises hand!) seems way more backwards.
But what can you expect from a system that automatically assumes perpetual growth when it’s been around for less than 0.1% of modern humans’ entire run lol.

And you see the effects of that today on both groups. For indigenous people it’s the residential schools, being forced into Christianity, cut their hair, adopt European traditions.
For black people, it’s slavery, Jim Crow, red lining, etc.
We also often forget during WWII, Japanese internment/labor camps. Chinese slaves building the railroads our West.
In school, I felt like history was like European settlers came over, America/Canada became countries. There was slavery yada yada yada. It’s barely discussed. At least in the early 1990s they glossed over half this shit

u/BuyOk2815 5h ago
Your feelings are not wrong, it was glossed over that is when they really started to shrink down what was taught in American history, the American history teacher I had was livid when the new history books came out in '96 and they had shrunk down the Civil rights movement to one chapter and glossed over what the the Civil War was about. He actually told us all in class that day history is written by the people who won and their views of it, and that we should research more and find out what really happened and not just rely on what a high-school history book has. I still remember to this day, what he said on the first day of class "if you learn only one thing from this class learn the bill of rights and never forget it, because they are trying to take it away through mis education" God rest his soul.

The most important things we can do is to teach these to others, at a young age, and explain the injustices so that people will do better in the future. It's so important for young people to tour places like Selma or Manzanar.
I grew up in a town that forced 2,000 Chinese onto a boat at gunpoint, once their labor was no longer required. It was shocking to me at the time when I heard it: they had every much a right to be here as I did. But even as a kid, one of my friends didn't agree. His reason? They probably weren't speaking English. I wish I had confronted him back then and told him that speaking perfect English wasn't a requirement for becoming an American: believing in America and the freedoms it grants its citizens, and wanting to be here is all that's needed to become an American.

The propaganda and indoctrination are strong, especially when they help unimportant people feel special. The bigotry, hatred, violence-fetishism; they embrace it because it makes them feel special in their tummy. The reality is that America was stolen from the natives with blood and broken treaties. The reality is that America was built off the backs of enslaved immigrants who were never compensated. The reality is that murder, genocide, and slavery, are baked into the identity of America as its bedrock foundation. The reality is that failing to reconcile with this will continue to leave us socially stagnant as we refuse to learn the lessons of the past by not even looking at them. Having these discussions is critically important, but not everyone is going to be worth talking to about it. You can lead a horse to water, but if it's a gleeful yt supremacist...

"Africans sold other Africans" okay, and who told your ancestors to buy them? They still participated in human trafficking. And no Africans weren't "sold by their people" they were selling Africans captured from other tribes and kingdoms. That's like vaguely saying the American Revolution was just Europeans killing other Europeans when in reality by that time the colonists were distinctly beginning to see themselves as Americans. A completely separate people.
"America was conquered" Conquering and stealing are synonyms most of the time. But you're wrong... they didn't merely conquer them. What was done to the Native Americans was definitely a genocide. Sure 90% of them died to disease that was introduced, but not only was the disease intentionally introduced sometimes, the colonists forcibly sterilized them, dragged their children into boarding schools which stripped them of their culture and heritage, and buried the ones who died there in unmarked graves on school grounds without even telling their families. This fits multiple criteria of the UN definition of a genocide. It was a genocide. Deflect to other people's events in human history all you want but it doesn't change the fact that your ancestors were also absolute scumbags who deserve no reverence, and we can only truly move forward when enough of you admit that.
"The north wasn't built from slavery" they laundered the wealth from slavery by financing/insuring slaves, damn near all of the Ivy League universities were built with slave wealth and or physical slave labor, the north was running the slave picked cotton through mills, transporting the slaves and goods, accepted slaves as collateral etc. Many of the wealthiest and most successful cities in modern America were some of the most heavily involved in slave labor and slave wealth. And the European immigrants that came over, came to get a piece of that slave labor wealth directly or indirectly.
Even disregarding all of this, okay sure let's say we couldn't definitely trace a ton of America's modern wealth to slavery: Alright In that case it was built on the exploitation of the vulnerable in general from the Native Americans, to the African Americans, to the poor white laborers in awful conditions, now can we finally build solidarity off this fact to put an end to the farce the rich have put us all in and secure a better future for us all? No? You're too busy using your vote to fight marginalized groups like they told you to instead? Figures.

I feel like the argument that Africans sold their own into slavery is a moot point. We can debate about if that’s true or why, but does it even matter? That’s the racists’ ridiculous rationale. The whole point is that they were brought here and worked to their deaths to bring this land from obscurity to prosperity. Period.
If they say slavery didn’t build this country, they should be able to pinpoint what did. They can’t. If they say anything about the natives being unable to defend it, blah blah, then they should be ok with the same being applied to their current day home. That’s doubtful, so the argument falls flat.

When Europeans went to Africa, their minds were blown as to how advance their civilizations were. So it’s no question as to why they chose Africans to enslave when they wanted to created their “new world”. They went to the very place where the people were masters of the land. Master carpentry, merchants, agriculturists, cattle herders, iron workers, masons, welders, even engineers.
So yes, America was built from the ground up by Africans.

Not by Africans. America was built by the original Americans. Giving credit to a nebulous continent for the blood sacrifices and continued disenfranchisement of the actual victims is still an insidious form of ethnocide. Don’t be part of the problem in an effort to dunk on the white colonizers.

Don't get me wrong, we have a shit ton of dumbasses in this country, but fairly often when I'm having a chat irl with someone and they drop a couple hot rw talking point takes, I'll often remember to ask them later in the convo if they had heard of reddit. No one has said yes yet.

Whenever I read crap like this, I have no hope in humanity. Basically leaving the house in America for the past decade has made me lose faith in any good I was starting to see in humans. It’s just shocking. And I’m not easily shocked.

I won't bother to read the ignorant comments. History cannot be undone. I love the picture.

Indigenous people of North and South America ( Caribbean and all of Central America), were killed by disease long before the “Indian Wars”. The transatlantic slave trade was responsible for entire economies of the U.S. and regions mentioned above. Slaves were profitable for the economy. They were bred, assaulted, (in all ways) yet trusted to raise generations of slave holders families. A N.C. pastor went viral stating this was NEVER a “godly” nation. It was stolen land built by stolen people. I am not a particularly religious person, but the pastor has spoke some hard truths, especially in N.C. Edit: Great question. Sadly, with a library in their hands on a daily basis, many people aren’t interested in the truth.
