That Time When Some Carcass-Worshiper Called Me A House Negro Because I Suspected the Motives of Muslims

There were slaves in Ancient Rome too. Kind of most of recorded history, there has been slavery.

It will be interesting to see the Muslims and the Chinese battle it out for world domination, once the liberals have destroyed America.

I think the person who runs the Etymology site never took Latin. He has servis but it should be servus (the feminine form was serva). He doesn't point out that the word "serf" comes from the Latin word which meant "slave."

Some one please explain to me what a “carcass worshiper” is. I read the article and did a search online, but I still don’t have a clue what this means.

Brazil/Portuguese imported 5 times the Africans as slaves as the US.

Huge difference was after arrival, their treatment by Portuguese was so brutal something like 50% died - thus the need to import more.

Good news today is that in the majority of Brazil - say 95% - prejudice is unknown for the simple reason that almost 95% of Brazilians have black blood and are mixed race.

But in upper crust business and government, the Europeans generally rule and the racism at that level is much worse than the worst here.

I didn’t take Latin, either, it’s all Greek to me. But then I didn’t study Greek, either.

I agree with you, particularly the comment on ‘serfs,’ and that most people don’t think of them as ‘slaves’ in the feudal system. They may not have been in law, but they certainly were in practice.
