    You are completely in error John. Racism is not a language game, it is an historical social construct based in law and the social practice of the enslavement of people of African ancestry. Period!

    People think slavery in America was the same as slavery in Barbados.

    “Gone with the Wind” on which most people base their concept of American slavery occurred in the cotton states (eg South Carolina) close to the end of slavery.

    Slavery in the cotton states from 1795 onwards once the gin was invented, was quite different from slavery in the Tobacco states (eg Virginia) which existed from before Barbados was even settled.

    … and slavery in the other states was again quite different from both of these.

    It is instructive to watch John, Lawson, 45govt et al struggle to strip the concept of racism from its historical context so that they can play language games and pretend such ludicrous nonsense as the overwhelmingly Black vote for Obama to be evidence of Black racism. They not only expose their pathetic ignorance, but also leave a substantial trail of crumbs which leads straight back to their own racist behaviours and attitudes. Racism is NOT simply prejudiced attitudes divorced from historical context. All attempts to remove historical context from discussions of racism are prima facie evidence of racist attitudes.

    @John,
    Slavery in Barbados was based on the law: specifically “An Act for the Better Ordering and Governing of Negroes” passed by the Barbados Assembly in 1661. Have you read it yet? If not you are completely ignorant of reality until you do.

    I see that you aren’t a student of history…because had you been one …you would have known that as the slave population increases in Barbados …the whites in Barbados started to migrate to America where they took, and introduced chattel slavery to white Americans. John, the state of North Carolina has a well documented history of the white Barbadians who migrated to this state in 1700s, and taught the concept of chattel slavery to the white Americans.

    sirfuzzy (i was a sheep some years ago; not a sheep anymore)

    The similarities in the treatment of indentured servants and slaves began to diverge as the sugar industry led to the importation of an increasing number of African slaves into Barbados. Cheap labour had always been essential to Barbados, but African slaves were still prohibitively expensive in the early 17th century. In fact, the price of slave labour was the major hurdle for the freeholders before their cultivation of sugar. Thus, they were more reliant on the importation of indentured labourers from Britain (Beckles 30–31). Later, as the freeholders acquired the necessary sum, the servants were then replaced with African slaves whose services were not limited by contracts (Beckles 37). The level of expense that freeholders put into their acquisition of slaves is reflected in the fact that the Slave Code essentially stripped slaves of any legal rights whatsoever. One scholar even contends that the Slave Code is unique among its counterparts in Spanish America, Brazil, and French Code Noir in that it “did not attribute any positive rights to slaves whatsoever” (Rugemer 439). Clause 2 establishes the social order in the plantation: the slave’s role is to obey and the slave owner’s role is to command and punish. Thus, Clause 2 indicates that the only time that slaves could inflict violence upon a “Christian” is “in the lawful defence of their Master.” Outside of this exception, the slave will have no other legal recourse, thus completely negating the whole premise of “self-defence.” If a slave is proven guilty, which was highly likely considering his or her lack of any legal rights, the clause simply states that the punishment for the first offence is severe whipping; the second offence is severe whipping with the nose slit (a form of deformation of the body with the intent to bestialize) and the face firebranded; and the third offence is simply open to interpretation, perhaps only short of being killed, or simply execution.

    If Clause 2 is quite vague of the rights of the slave owners over their slaves, Clause 20 rectifies this. For instance, Clause 20 indicates that the killing or the dismembering of a runaway slave by his/her master is deemed as not punishable under the law. Only in cases where the slave is wantonly or intentionally killed by their owner with no justifiable reason shall the offender be made to pay into the public treasury 3,000 pounds of sugar. If the offender kills a slave of another, he or she is liable to pay 6,000 pounds of sugar to the slave’s owner and 5,000 pounds of sugar to the public treasury. The law makes exception to poor small freeholders who kill a slave by night who are found “stealing provisions, swine,” etc. Note the complete absence of any physical punishment, in a form of a prison sentence or corporal punishment, to the slave owner. The reason for this is actually fairly simple: African slaves were not given the dignity of the jury system where they would be judged by twelve of their peers under the English law. Instead, slaves were tried in a “slave court” where “two justices of the peace and three freeholders, who were endowed with the power not only to pass judgment on the accused but also to decide on and enforce a punishment in accordance with the law” (Rugemer 440). In short, the combination of slave owners pursuing profit, the institution of slavery uninhibited by contracts, together with the great labour needs of the sugar industry means that there was no room for the toleration of runaways. Predictably, this necessitates the complete dehumanization of a whole group of people who were forced, both legally and physically, to serve the narrow capitalist interest of their “masters.”

    If you read the writings of Islamic scholars during the golden age of Islam, you will find that your assertion is totally false.

    Try this link, search for Negroes or Black.

    You will find them demonized long before the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade started!!

    https://asadullahali.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/ibn_khaldun-al_muqaddimah.pdf

    The Trans Saharan Slave Trade was in existence long long before the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.

    The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade was only possible because the trans Saharan Slave Trade had existed for ages and all the infrastructure and customs necessary to support it existed already.

    To understand how black people were viewed before the advent of the Europeans in Africa, you really need to read the works of Islamist scholars.

    Suffice it to say it wasn’t nice.

    Trump is an admitted and proven racist whose racism is honoured by the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan. Support for a proven racist is in itself racist behaviour. The specific name given to Blacks who buy into anti-Black racism ie “Uncle Tom.”

    What part of logic did you miss in school?

    Some whites who voted for Obama were mild racists who overcame their racism temporarily because Obama didn’t seem too Black to them. This would be the 12% of White Obama voters in 2012 who voted for Trump in 2016. The other 78% of White Obama voters were among the most intelligent and best educated of the American White population and I have very many friends and relatives among this demographic. You can easily find the research which proves this.

    The morons and high school dropouts voted overwhelmingly for Trump.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    I am not a student of revisionist history, that is quite true, but I see you are!!

    The White Americans you speak of were members of the families of white Barbadians and vice versa.

    To get to America, the safest route was through the Caribbean, currents and winds.

    Check me and you will see I kid you not!!

    So immediately after settlement of the Plymouth, colony in 1620, the islands of the Caribbean were developed as victualling posts .. stepping stones if you like.

    You will find for example, John Winthrop.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Winthrop

    “John Winthrop (12 January 1587/88[1] – 26 March 1649) was an English Puritan lawyer and one of the leading figures in founding the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the second major settlement in New England, following Plymouth Colony. Winthrop led the first large wave of immigrants from England in 1630 and served as governor for 12 of the colony’s first 20 years. His writings and vision of the colony as a Puritan “city upon a hill” dominated New England colonial development, influencing the governments and religions of neighboring colonies.”

    “Winthrop was also aware of attempts to colonize other places; his son Henry became involved in efforts to settle Barbados in 1626, which Winthrop financially supported for a time.”

    Virginia was in existence and had slaves.

    Before Barbados there was St. Kitts in 1626.

    St. Lucia was also used.

    John Winthrop led the first great wave of Puritan Migration in 1630. No doubt, St. Kitts and Barbados were set up for this reason.

    It had taken Mayflower 66 days to get to Plymouth, that means a tons of cargo needed to be carried to sustain the people on the ship.

    Barbados, St. Kitts, St. Lucia were reachable in half that time …. so .. half the tonnage.

    You will find that at the beginning, most white Bajans were Puritans and then became Quakers after 1648.

    Most people don’t realise that the Anglican Church was of little consequence in Early Barbados once it begun to develop sugar.

    Many planters did not baptize their children, were not married in the Anglican Church and were very often buried in unmarked graves … not in the Anglican Churchyard!!

    In fact, what is claimed to be the “Slave Burial Ground at Newton is really a Quaker Burying Ground in which slaves are also buried.

    Edward Oistin, 1669!!

    Most Barbadian Quakers emigrated not to South Carolina, but Pennsylvania, and not till after 1681 when William Penn purchased it from the King!!

    Did you know there was once a property in Barbados called Philadelphia?

    South Carolina was settled in the 1660’s, through Barbados … as was Jamaica, in 1655, both commercial ventures.

    Barbados was never a commercial venture … too insignificant in size!!

    It was merely a stepping stone to America.

    There was a Quaker presence in Jamaica but not nearly as strong as in Barbados and as most emigrated to Pennsylvania, it disappeared.

    Did you know that Barbados was known as “The Cradle of Truth”?

    “MANY HISTORIANS OF THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS are now aware that the island of Barbados was the Quakers’ first American “Cradle of Truth.” Beginning in 1656, and throughout the 1660s, missionaries such as Mary Fisher, Anne Austin, Henry Fell, and Richard Pinder brought their simple faith in the Truth and Inward Light to the island, where significant numbers of wealthy slaveholding planters and merchants were “convinced,” lending the Society legitimacy and status in Barbados.¹ We also know that Friends first began to engage with the moral problems of slavery in Barbados, as George Fox initiated a serious challenge to patriarchs…”

    What you will find is that by 1780, Pennsylvania was well on the road to abolishing slavery, even before the move to abolish the slave trade had started in England, 1789.

    Barbados and its white planters played a pivotal role in the abolition of slavery.

    Eventually their efforts would reach right back to Africa, where it all begun.

    Good joke!!!

    Just google Trans Saharan Slave Trade and see what you find as an estimate.

    More were sent east than west … and over a far longer period!!

    The reason you don’t see an “African Diaspora: in the Arab lands is quite gruesome.

    Mostly women (80%) were marched across the Sahara …. they became concubines … sex slaves.

    Their descendants are Arab!!

    They joined the white females and other females and were used entirely for sex.

    So women were treated equally!!

    The males, (20%) were not only castrated, but all vestiges of their manly parts were removed!!

    Male genital mutilation if you like!!

    This went on for centuries!!

    If you want to see what a proper slave rebellion was like, google Zanj rebellion!!

    It was put down, and the trade continued for centuries after.

    Then you will realise that what ever uprisings you know of in the West were mere parties!!

    I have been through the gruesome details on BU before and don’t really intend doing so again.

    @PLT, I suspect that you are fully aware that its futile arguing the issue of racism and POTUS… according to all his acolytes nothing that he has done in his life which would validate his racism will even be acknowledged …rather the debate is turned against the accuser and he or she is labelled a vile racist!

    The ploy has worked well for POTUS prior to the election and he has now completely transformed a Republican party into his image and tone with that style…they (the leadership) are surely not all racially tinged or discriminatory but it is undeniable that there are large swatches of Republican members who are inherently racist or bluntly discriminatory towards minorities to a degree well beyond any of the members of the CURRENT Democratic party.

    The POTUS and Republican crew worked to repeal the ACA and have filed a major lawsuit to finally end its tenure …YET many of them campaigned STRONGLY that it is the DEMS who are going to gut healthcare and that they are the ones who will save a worthy healthcare program for Americans…in sum: brazen, bold and unbent in their lies and hypocrisy….And that’s right before all our eyes

    …Do you really believe that a man whose father marched with the KKK and who fought the federal govt on housing discrimination towards Blacks, who unapologetically crushed the NY Central Park youth on the wrongful rape allegations in addition to a host of other glaring examples of blunt discriminatory acts will honestly ADMIT his racial indisposition….

    Trump is a great politician and demagogue and the fact that he is not readily disposed to those of us who may hail from s***hole countries is quite obvious…why argue with sycophants who obviously know the reality but are too happy and wrapped up in their ideological supremacy to stop lying for even one moment!

    THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING STORY
    I HOPE THAT IT CAN BE PROVED TO BE TRUE
    AND THAT THIS WOMAN IS DULY PUNISHED

    BOOM! JUDICIARY COMMITTEE CLEARS KAVANAUGH, FORD MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY
    Steven Ahle NOVEMBER 6, 2018

    Sen Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee has released the final report on Brett Kavanaugh and they found no evidence that any of the accusations as being true. Christine Blasey Ford may not be so lucky. There was a witness who testified that we were not aware of.

    The man is unnamed but he had a story to tell about Ford that’s very interesting. He claimed, under oath and penalty of felony, that when he was 19, he attended a party near the Metro station, where Ford claims Kavanaugh assaulted her. He said he was in a bedroom with Ford and that she initiated kissing.

    She was wearing a swimsuit under her clothes and the make-out session ended when a friend of his jumped on the bed as a prank. Doesn’t his story sound familiar?

    From The Blaze

    According to a 414-page report released by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), there is “no evidence” that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted any of his accusers, but there is evidence that some of Kavanaugh’s accusers may have been involved in a criminal conspiracy to mislead the committee.

    In a lengthy series of tweets, the Judiciary Committee announced the report and explained some of the work that went into its compilation.

    The report took special aim at Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick, who issued a sworn statement just days before a planned Judiciary Committee vote that accused Kavanaugh of having participated in numerous parties where he drugged women in order to gang rape them. Swetnick was represented by Michael Avenatti, who also represents porn star Stormy Daniels, who has accused President Trump of having an affair with her several years ago. Avenatti is widely expected to run for president as a Democrat in 2020.

    Swetnick’s original statement was initially revealed in a tweet from Avenatti. According to the committee report, judiciary committee staffers contacted Avenatti “ten minutes” after the tweet was posted. According to the report, “Although Avenatti alluded to having evidence to support his client’s claims, he refused to produce anything for several days, notwithstanding the Committee’s repeated requests. Ultimately, Avenatti provided the Committee with only a sworn declaration from Swetnick. He posted a redacted declaration from an alleged supporting witness on his Twitter account on October 2 and 3, but he refused to identify the author.”

    Will Ford be added to the list of Kavanaugh accusers with criminal referrals? Only if the unidentified man steps forward and is credible.

    I use these discussions solely to map the perversions of the racist mindset. It is a useful analytical exercise from a forensic perspective. White supremacists are more prevalent among contemporary Bajans than I had hoped, but I am very familiar with how to deal with them effectively having lived and worked where they are prevalent for over 40 years. Most of that time was spent in a supervisory or management position over staff complements which had quite high percentages of White supremacists, some of them quiet about it but some very militant and aggressive. I was always able to manage effectively because, on the whole, racists are very limited intellectually.

    Everyone knows why Trump exists… he has been a public figure for decades. I have been predicting that the US electorate would elect another stupid right wing populist ever since I survived the Reagan era. It was no mystery… Reagan was similarly of very modest intelligence and vast public celebrity appeal.

    Others saw it coming even earlier… many date it back to Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” which flipped the racist South from the Democratic Party to the Republicans. It is no secret what the Southern Strategy entails: just be more racist than the Democratic Party so that the racists switch sides. Look it up.

    GOD REMOVED MUCKCAIN FROM THIS WORLD FOR BLOCKING THE REVOCATION OF THE REPREHENSIBLE SHITBAMA CARE. WHICH EVERYONE KNOWS WAS A FAILURE AND COULD NEVER WORK. IN FACT IT MADE THINGS WORSE!

    NOT ONLY DID PEOPLE LOSE THEIR DOCTORS BUT MANY FOLK LOST THE INSURANCE POLICIES THAT THEY COULD AFFORD WHEN SHITBAMA CARE.WAS IMPLEMENTED

    THIS IDIOT OPINES THAT he POTUS and Republican crew are the ones who will save a worthy healthcare program for Americans. WHAT WAS WORTHY ABOUT SHITBAMA CARE? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

    SHITBAMA THE DEMS AND THE IDIOT DPD WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HEALTH OR HEALTCARE SYSTEMS NEED TO BE TAUGHT THAT POSSESSION OF HEALTH INSURANCE IS NOT THE SAME AS HEALTH CARE.

    THE BEST HEALTH INSURANCE WILL NOT NECESSARILY GET ONE THE BEST HEALTH CARE SERVICES OR ANY SERVICES AT ALL SOMETIMES.

    The Senate’s report on Kavanaugh’s accusers not only was unable to find corroborating evidence for the claims, but it also found that Avenatti and his client, Julie Swetnick, criminally conspired to take down Kavanaugh.

    According to Town Hall:
    Over the weekend Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released a 414-page report detailing allegations made against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process.

    The report not only found that none of the accusations made by anyone failed to include evidence or merit, but that infamous porn lawyer Michael Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnik criminally conspired to take down Kavanaugh’s nomination.

    “The evidence appears to support the position that Julie Swetnick and Mr. Avenatti criminally conspired to make materially false statements to the Committee and obstruct the Committee’s investigation. Accordingly, the Committee referred both to the Department of Justice and FBI for investigation and potential violations of 18 U.S.C. § 371, § 1001, and § 1505 on October 25, 2018,” the report states. “In addition, on October 26, 2018, the Committee made a second criminal referral against Michael Avenatti to the Justice Department and FBI for investigation of potential violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 (knowingly providing materially false statements) and 1505 (obstruction of a congressional investigation), based upon the NBC story that evidenced that Mr. Avenatti may have fabricated allegations by a second declarant.”

    Avenatti was of course not happy with these findings and predictably shot back:
    Avenatti is hitting back against the charges of conspiracy.

    During interviews, Swetnick famously changed her story and openly waffled on claims that she knew Kavanaugh gang-raped women at high school parties.

    God removed Muckcain because he saved Shitbama’s health care! Would it not have been better to remove Shitbama before he was able to pass the Shitbama Care Act?
