i found that kinda funny in all honestly. I also enjoyed how movie bob ignored information such as blacks selling other blacks to the white people as slaves or the fact that slavery existed prior to there ever being a north america it's alled "indentured workers" and they started building america... it was mostly for the poor people in england and france who wanted to go to the "new world.. but couldn't afford the ticket so they were offered a free ticket to the new world if they plugged in a certain amount of time working in fields or construction and at the end of their time they were free people to walk the world and start homes of their own most probably getting jobs from their previous master to pay for the house or the land for them to build said house.
and very quickly is it ignored that whites also helped black slaves escape north to canada. or the more " racial friendly people."
and just to be clear I'm not a racist (( because I know that words will be flyign my way.)) I just poitning out the humor in misinformation.
I assume that History wasn't your major in college.
The presence of African slaves on the North American continent pre-dates the arrival of the British or the French and their white indenture servants by close to 100 years. The Spanish, who were the first to attempt settlement of North America, owned slaves, most notably at St. Augustine, the first permanent settlement in North America and the oldest city in the United States.
And indentured servitude isn't anywhere akin to slavery. The hallmark of a slave is that they are their owner's property. An indentured servant wasn't ever anyone's property and, when their contracted period on indenture was over, they were free to go about their own business.
ha ha Not even close this was stuff I dug up on my own because I just love history so yeah I more than likely missed that sorry.
yes but I'm also talking about the world ruling evil white man always putting down the other ethnicities.... (( for those of you who can't tell this is scarcasam)). and I honestly thoguht the first North american settlement was Jonestown( I think that was the name... you know the one the disappeared?) Also Also the viking Beat your spanards there too.... well I think it was Newfoundland.....I think...
and if you didn't read what I wrote about indentured Servitude I pretty much sai what you said slavery is just instead of letting them go after a set amount of years you keep them!.
Also again ignored the fact about blacks kidnapping other blacks to sell into slavery.
AND I forogt to write this in my first post I saw the thor movie... and even though I do not like Thor. I really enjoyed the movie... my only complaint was the asian guy in the warriors 3 the accents seems a little too heavy and more thn a little forced out of the actor...
the black dude was Awesome he gave me chills
