I take the whole book into consideration.
I also get my inforamation from anecdotal experience. 35 years in IT at 17 companies, as well as other endeavors.
This is why I asked the question.
And no black government has ever made slavery illegal.
**** “I am going from Memory and I’m getting old, but read the historical fiction The Covenant, James Michener for a pretty complete, unacademic, but engaging history” ****
I think the Covenant would make a great Movie (better Mini - Series because it is long)
Another book that should be a Movie or Mini-Series is “The Hodge” by Leon Uris
Been many years since I’ve read either and reading with my current eyesight is a pain ... Still might give “The Hodge” another shot
Do you mean ‘The Haj?’
That is the one
(Told ya.. years... beers... aagggghhhh)
Yep; mostly unpopulated, dry steppe lands, close to the American midwest (think north Texas, Oklahoma, eastern Colorado). Not much to draw primitive natives in.
On the plains the Europeans introduced cattle, sheep, and turned it into a ranching area.
In the foothills and more wet areas they introduced irrigation and farming.
Up to then it was pretty much just trash land that nobody wanted, lots of mineral resources but they hadn’t been discovered yet.
I’m sure he would not respond to the question: “Why have you become a rabid dog?” Which is really what I want to know.
The expression “apples and oranges” means that someone is asserting some sort of similarity between two classes of things when those two classes are in fact radically dissimilar.
I wasn’t asserting any similarity or comparison at all. American Blacks and African Blacks have different median IQ’s. If I was comparing them at all, I was asserting that they are different.
Good heavens.
Plenty of fodder for the all-conservatives-are-racist crowd.
You can't run a first world country with 80 IQ populations.
