@matrix Columbus and his crew normalized the selling of Taino girls for perverted sick Spanish men
@nenetl @matrix he also killed a tribe of cannibals tho so it evens out

You’ll spread propaganda but ignore how white slaveowners ate black children and remains in sugar cane harvests

@nenetl @Nudhul @matrix 😂 Your source is about how that event was a ‘literary trope’ and was never so much as suspected. I guess until someone with poor reading comprehension read the phrase.

Because slavery caused suffering and slaves were used to grow sugar cane, those who ate sugar cane were said to be tainted with the flesh and blood of slaves, just like someone using their Apple to watch Disney while wearing their Nikes nowadays.

@epic @matrix @Nudhul You’re downplaying that depicting slaves and natives as cannibals was common propaganda of it’s time, and now you’re going to act as if the conditions on sugar cane plantations were ideal with zero mention of how blood (bovine) was used in the refinement process :marseythumbsup: whatever suits your narrative

The Portuguese ship Arrogante was captured in late November 1837 by the HMS Snake, off the coast of Cape San Antonio in Cuba. At the time of her capture, the Arrogante had more than 330 Africans on board, who had all been embarked at Gallinas by notorious slave dealer Pedro Blanco, and were bound to Cuba, consigned to the house of Pedro Martinez & Co. All of them were liberated in Montego Bay, Jamaica, where soon after their arrival, a chilling mystery surrounding the alleged practices carried out by the captain and crew were also brought to the attention of the local authorities. According to numerous witnesses, some members of the crew had killed an African man, cooked his flesh and then served it to the rest of the slaves on board. Additionally, the sailors were accused of eating the heart and liver of the murdered man.

The examination of the story of what happened on the Arrogante constitutes another example that supports the case of historians who currently claim that the atrocities committed by the slavers were more common than what we have thought thus far. It also raises the question of why the slavers would sacrifice those whom they hoped to sell upon arrival in Cuba. This case also highlights the questionable impartiality of Jamaican magistrates, courts and authorities at a time that coincided with the final emancipation of the slaves in the British West Indies The paper discusses the weight and credibility given to testimonies received from African slaves, most of whom, in this case, were children.

@nenetl @matrix @Nudhul Some natives and slaves undoubtedly were cannibals. Africans still use cannibalism in current slavery. One boy I saw interviewed said their captors made all the boys they had stolen eat human flesh. He said he was the only one who wouldn’t, and of the others, those who were not killed eventually went insane and killed themselves because of the cannibalism.

You don’t need a history book, just interviews with current slaves—there are more now than ever before in human history.

@epic @matrix @Nudhul So are you going to acknowledge white cannibalism now?

@nenetl @matrix @Nudhul No white people were harmed during the making of that post.

@matrix when Europeans do it because you did it to them first lmao

@matrix
Doesn't matter because the White man colonized these lands first. In the North the red man killed off the White tribes, and in the South the White man left their pyramids n shiet to the red man which is why Cortez and his men were seen as gods returning to these lands. If you think the red man made all of those pyramids, I have a bridge to sell you, lmao.

@WhiteTemplar @matrix Bet it was The Templars what built ‘em, or their forbearers.

@matrix Shouldn’t that be a Payback’s a Bitch post? Europeans killed the unjuns and now can’t muster the gumption to fight off Russia?

This is one confused/confusing post.
