When Europeans Were Slaves: Research Suggests White Slavery Was Much More Common Than Previously Believed
Haven't vetted this out, not sure we can, but it seems to be a deeper look at history and the Muslim Slave Trade.
"A new study suggests that a million or more European Christians were enslaved by Muslims in North Africa between 1530 and 1780 – a far greater number than had ever been estimated before."
"In a new book, Robert Davis, professor of history at Ohio State University, developed a unique methodology to calculate the number of white Christians who were enslaved along Africa’s Barbary Coast, arriving at much higher slave population estimates than any previous studies had found".
"Most other accounts of slavery along the Barbary coast didn’t try to estimate the number of slaves, or only looked at the number of slaves in particular cities, Davis said. Most previously estimated slave counts have thus tended to be in the thousands, or at most in the tens of thousands. Davis, by contrast, has calculated that between 1 million and 1.25 million European Christians were captured and forced to work in North Africa from the 16th to 18th centuries."
"Davis’s new estimates appear in the book Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800 (Palgrave Macmillan)."

Yet, here we are, after electing a black president (at least a half-black one that identified as black), and racial issues almost non-existent. Now we have this ridiculous "peaceful" symbol of a pugilist-robot fist in the air, and people protesting all over, while the "peaceful" protests killed 11 black children, and looters killed a retired black police chief.
FBI data is quite clear, and facts are not racist.
2,925 black homicides, 2,600 by black offenders, 234 by white offenders.
3,315 white homicides, 2,677 by white offenders, 514 by black offenders.
Black people are 13.4%. White people are 63.4%. Using this:
- Black people are 10x more likely to kill a white person than white people are to kill a black person.
- Black people are 4.6x more likely to kill a black person, than white people are to kill a white person.
If you auto correlate, people are more likely to kill people they associate with. Separately is you adjust for income, the racial statistics are much less skewed.

This is about maintaining the level of outrage and a ripe voting base, not racism or facts. The Democrats can't afford black people to succeed. If they succeed, they may think for themselves, and stop arbitrarily voting for the party of thieves. Thomas Sowell is quite clear on the subject.
Was there a philosophy that condemned slavery before modern times, 18thC, Willberforce and the Puritans? Religions and legal systems would have codes of conduct for owners that were fair by the standards of the times but did not prohibit the practice.
The Arabs and Islam were major participants, at both ends, it probably pre-dated Islam, but all groups were in it as victims, providers and buyers.
Similar, if you want to bash the US you could say that the US was the first to associate slaves with skin color, but there are examples, not many, of white slaves, and of black slave owners in the US, thus that proposition in wrong, the practice was universal.
So, they are either the dumbest humanoids in creation or they are complicit as hell...both carry the same penalty as far as I am concerned.
If we win this battle then it might save the western way of life for all.
But, in my travels last year I found that most I met in the EU like Trump and American freedom. The media drives such a huge propaganda campaign that it seems like we are doomed but we are not. Here in the states, come November, it will be a rude awakening for the idiots of the left. Just wait and don't listen to the polls. Trump supporters do not poll, as a general rule.
But I am concerned that Trump himself is listening to them and he is not doing his usual thing. Worries me.
PS...was listening to a special by Glenn Beck, on BLM, AntiF**K, etc etc...it all started a long time ago...it's just a convenient time to push the envelope.
I don't think I could rub it in your face...I save face rubbings for evil and stupid knowitalls.
You do not fit in either of those intersectionalities...LMAO
England and America were the first to realize it was wrong, sure, two other nations actually did it before us, although there are quibbles about Mexico.
