What are Sensitivity Readers? (And Should Authors Use Them?)
There xmcharacters, plots, subplots, scenes that are going to be jettisoned or mangled in order to fit into their woke version of what women want.
This whole thing is going to another SJW cluster.
They're using Quinn's books to sell the series, but the series will gut the books.
No thanks. Just like Outlander, fans can just pick up the books.
I did not know that.
That certainly takes ALL the sparkle off the "Juneteenth" legend.
Thanks.
Yes, slavery was abolished in Kentucky only by the 13th amendment. I think Delaware waited that long as well, but there were so few slaves in Delaware by the time of the war that Delaware is an afterthought. Now that I'm thinking of it, I need to go look up Missouri and Maryland as well. I think they acted sooner but I need to confirm that. In any event, four slave states fought for the Union and were not affected by the Emancipation Proclamation because they were not in rebellion.
You didnt need to be an African slave to be human chattel for the English
Ask the Irish
and the lower classes in England sent to work houses or transported to Australia or the colonies for debt or minor crimes like stealing food or game
Yes, the Irish were treated very badly.
I have read several long essays at Free Republic about the inhumane treatment of the Irish in Colonial America and the Caribbean.
Get a chance watch The Queen’s Gambit. Also Indian Horse.
I was going to watch it tonight - what's a mess about it?
Blacks only started coming to Britain en masse after WWII with the Jamaicans, they needed workers after the war to make up for the manpower shortage the war left.
Good movie “Black ‘47” about the Potato Famine.
The English were horrible towards the Irish. It was a “Holocaust” in every sense of the word.
It’s two hours of glum acting within a script that is boring and disjointed. Think of the movie, On the Beach without the plot or acting skill.
That’s on my list. I want reparations from the British.
Thank you. After watching the original “Die Hard” last night (for the umpteenth time), I don’t think I would enjoy it. I’m more of an action and adventure fan.
