History is the story of subjugation.
The Assyrians
The Persians
The Macedonians
The Romans
The Germanic Tribes
The Muslims
The people from the Steppes of Asia
The Europeans
The “Native Americans” — who invaded this hemisphere from Asia — should shut the hell up.
“History is the story of subjugation “
Total agreement
The way I see it is that every person who walks
the earth is descended from both slaves and
slave masters. Since the European record as
slave masters is relatively recent there is
a vast amount of documentation compared to other
slave holding cultures, therefore, it is
the Euros and Euro-Americans who receive the
attention and blame while the preceeding groups
go blameless. In North America you can bet the
native populations did more than just dabble in
slavery. And, under Islam, forms of slavery
continue today.
I can think of very few posts that I have done
agreed with more than yours. Thanks.
Native Americans have a sordid past too and sometimes engaged in genocidal warfare against competing tribes. For example the Lakota obtained horses and moved from their traditional homelands in Minnesota to the Dakotas completely wiping out the Arikara. Early French explorers in the region named the tribe Sioux meaning cut throats.
