Black Men were used to Build several non-Black Empires

[ABlackMan]

Crazy this whole thing could’ve started off by a black man losing a bet…a white woman being jealous of how the black woman appeared. It’s really black and white as those things. Jealousy and greed exist today JUST as it did waaaaaaaay back then. Nothing new under the sun. You take all these precious items like cars and buildings away and we literally living the same way those civilizations did.

 

[Kornball The Conqueror]

Wow. A quote from the video stood out to me.

"The Spanish perception of Africans as natural warriors"

I just told nikkas in another thread that we are a warrior race. We were not weak and docile when our enemies first encountered us.

We were putting foot to ass, and chopping off heads.

Literally. - we were cutting off their heads and keeping them as trophies of war.

Something happened tho & we lost that fire.

We lost that energy.

gun powder happened

 

[BlackJesus]

Black men by and large have dropped the ball something serious for the last 500 years. This video ties into what I was talking about in that Mansa Musa thread yesterday. nikkas could've taken over the world if we moved more organized and strategically. Instead we are used as foot soldiers/ entertainment in other societies while reaping little/ to no benefits in those societies...

Why? What the fukk is this? Wasn’t this whole “game theory” BS exposed in 2018 for being a neoliberal bullshyt used to justify white supremacy, inequality, and capitalism?

Why even cite this shyt but not actual revolutionary and communist philosophies that would ACTUALLY benefit black people?

You know, shyt that would ACTUALLY help us fight for ourselves, change, and build?

What are you coming in here flying off at the mouth about?

Game theory is merely a framework for understanding complex systems and optimizing decisions. White supremacy is a complex social system, so it's a framework for understanding that. Like any other system.

It has nothing to do with none of that other shyt.

Calm down.

Prisoners of Reason: Game Theory and Neoliberal Political Economy

Educate yourself, let that ego go.

This shyt is deeper than your surface level takes.

 

[The Fade]

Black men, once realizing that Europeans were trying to subjugate them, began using gun-powder (without much knowledge of this new material) and quickly adopted the practice of creating their own firearms like rifles, canons, and rockets. So warriors that also knew how to invent many weapons of war quickly. I think this is partly why they keep their feet on our necks.

Also, remember, a lot of whites are very deceptive so they'd rather us not know this type of history because then we'd get certain ideas.

WTF happened to us

We are like sundered pieces of ourselves

Game theory can be used for good

Or it can be used for evil.

It's a tool. It doesn't have desires or motives. It's the science of decisions. It's like saying using Algebra is white supremacy. It's dumb.

I've been reading and watching a lot of revolutionary war history lately. One thing I found out that I'm pretty sure wasn't taught in school was that black slaves made up 25% of George Washington's Rebel army. Also interesting that Washington lost more than he won, he was 3-6 during that war and spent most of it running

It's crazy that black people helped this country fight for independence from Britain because Americans were scared they were going to be slaves. Only for the Americans to continue on with slavery in the south for another 70 years before Lincoln abolished it.

Racist whites in this country need to wake the fukk up. This country was built by immigrants and blacks. America would've never won without black people or without help from the French

 

[Henri Christophe]

or without help from the French

Ironically - a large amount of the French military that was sent to North America was composed of mulattos & black slaves - many of whom were child soldiers and teenagers.

Henri Christophe (King Of Haiti) - was a 13 year old French soldier active in the Siege Of Savannah in 1779.

So "help from the French" was still black men and black boys, lol.

Low-key britain was the better option



Britain was actually freeing slaves for their service in that war. Can you believe Washington had the audacity to send them back to the fields after they risked their lives for him? And i think brittish officially ended slavery only 30yrs after the revolutionary war as opposed to the 90yrs wait within the US.


But even if black people unilaterally supported the brittish in that conflict, i think @Henri Christophe would still be right because that would be a whole different empire black labor would be building .

thats insane


France granted freedom to all the black slaves that participated in the American war.

 

[High Art]

Horseback or lack thereof has been the greatest decider of growth for the black race.

Unless I'm misunderstanding this comment, Africans were quite proficient and world-renown for their mastery of horses and chariots.

I would say the lack of regional unity was a greater decider.

 

[High Art]

Europeans got all type of information locked in the archives about how we used to get down.

The worst part is, even things one would deem as minor, they hide away. There was a black-german philosopher who wrote a large volume of works. The one that is missing is one supposedly describing and commenting on his life mainly as an African in germany. Anton Wilhelm Amo.

What’s dumb is lacking a critical understanding. And as I said earlier, that philosophical framework does not exist in a vacuum.

You basically just said:

“That’s like saying capitalism is white supremacy, it’s just an economic system. It doesn't have desires or motives. It's the science of decisions. It's like saying being a capitalist is white supremacy. It's dumb.”

These smooth brained neoliberals on thecoli I tell ya

Not entirely true. At the start of the war he was reluctant on hiring slaves to fight but once he did they were offering freedom to any slave that wanted to fight. The only battalions that didn't have slaves were from the south, it's the reason why there was so many "freed" black people in the north after the war was over

After the war Washington kept the slaves that were still serving his wife at home and offered them freedom only AFTER her death .

A lot of them was never slaves in the first place.

There have always been “black” people here and they were not all slaves, most of them weren’t.

A lot of “black” people owned slaves too and the more reparations talks ramp up the more real history will continue to leak out.

Yea you're definitely right, I was only talking about the slaves that were offered freedom to fight
