Arkansas State Rep: ‘If Slavery Were So God-Awful, Why Didn’t Jesus Or Paul Condemn It?’

142. he's seen too many of those african cartoons boiling the missionaries in the pot

i took african american history in college. there were some great civilizations, besides egypt, that came out of africa. I remember my teacher telling us when the slavers came and missionaries, they talked about the blood and body of christ. when their families were taken, they thought that the europeans were cannibals. I find it rather humorous considering the cartoons made denigrating africans.

and, you're right, where would africa be today if it had not been colonized. chomsky wrote about india, how india had some of the finest textiles, until the british conquered one province at a time. he said you can tell the most impoverished provinces, those were the ones colonized first. the indians were banned from weaving; they were forced to grow what the british wanted them to grow; thus causing starvation in areas. one thing was the growing of opium and cotton for the british textile mills.
