I see people really want a topic on the slave trade and my understanding of it. Has anyone ever seen a physical slave ship? The Atlantic Slave trade wasn't 10k years ago so we should be able to have some physical evidence right or are we only going off drawings lol

If anyone but Lionel Mandrake tried to summarize this thread, I am pretty sure we would have a stroke and possibly die. Our brains aren't prepared to handle this, and only after years of training can you possibly put this in a concise post without your brain rejecting all reality and start to shut down.

Tbh I think the mods haven't locked this yet because they're waiting for a Lionel Mandrake summary.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I'm not trying to be condescending, OP, but do you understand that the word Negus is an Ethiopian Semitic word from the Afro-Asiatic family, whereas negro is an Italic word from the very different Indo-European language family?

Semitic languages probably emerged in northern Egypt, while Italic languages probably emerged in Northern Italy.

There is no connection between the two words, and 19th century white supremacists, using the n-word to oppress their slaves, had no knowledge of East African government.

But were you there?

 

[Makonero]

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is a myth. I mean sure there are flight records and documentation and other proof of the passengers' existence. But where is the physical plane?

Don't start this. Too many people already subscribe to this nuttery.

 

[Thorakai]

OP must be super salty about the Ghana loss. It's the only explanation.

 

[Dark Schala]

Nope, flagrare is black in Latin and it means to be bright, try again.

What are you doing? -are denotes a first-conjugation verb, not an adjective. Do you even know what you're talking about?

Jesus, I didn't know slave trade denial existed.

 

[Derp1na]

Do you know how difficult it is to preserve a ship? I live in a part of London where a ship (the Cutty Sark) is one of the main tourist attractions. They've spent millions of pounds preserving it and this is a ship launched in 1869.

Who do you think is preserving slave ships?

Wtf did I walk into?

Where's Mandrake? I need a recap.

Same here. What the hell?

Also a list of all thread title changes.

 

[Pollux]

The fuck am I reading? This might be one of the most ridiculous threads I've ever seen

 

[Kurdel]

Thread title is going places!!

 

[cobragt4001]

There's an overwhelming amount of documentation and evidence that supports the existence of the transatlantic slave trade. You'd be better off making your argument by showing evidence to the contrary.

We can find ancient Roman boats

It is the greatest thread of all time.

Like The Wire, you have to go through the whole thing sequentially to fully appreciate it.

Again, so what? Where's the evidence that directly contradicts all the other evidence?

This thread is beyond even Mandrake's great powers. Malcolm McDowell hasn't been around this much crazy since the milk bar.

 

[Kabouter]

This is the greatest thread of all time.

My mind is blown, and I'm pretty amazed that my countrymen in the past, being 'master colonists' (look at all those Dutch speaking lands) and inquisitionists (the Dutch revolt was obviously inspired by Catholicism not being strict enough in the Netherlands, pro-Catholic fervour just exploded) were able to defeat empires that were far more advanced than them and obviously had technology for interplanetary travel and what not.

Okay, let's play this the other way. What is the evidence that the transatlantic slave trade didn't happen? Specifically what evidence do you have that history was fabricated?

You were just shown a photo of a slave ship

 

[Mysterious]

More to the point, OP, whag really went down all those years ago, when the United States Corporation was first founded?

They released Microsoft and Apple. Both are products of the United States Corporation that try to brainwash the American people. Both products are competing with Nippon Company Limited's Toyota and Sony and Deutschland Incorporated's Mercedes-Benz.

How can slavery be real if our eyes aren't real?

Where's Mandrake? I need a recap.

A summary in gif form:

 

[Sibylus]

Again, rotting is a thing that wood does, particularly when exposed to the weathering of wind, water, the cold, and microorganisms. The ocean, funnily enough, has all those elements breaking down wooden vessels long before they ever slip under the waves.

 

[Dark Schala]

Someone needs to keep track of all these thread title changes so we can have a working archive for OP to reference if he ever decides to cite evidence of his thread-making habits in the future.

You know, just to show that we were all there.

Also, full etymological history.

How long would you say a boat could cross the Atlantic with no motor, only by wind?

 

[Parallax]

i was wondering when the slave trade denial shoe was gonna drop

 

[Syrinx]

I'm in the same boat. I read the OP, didn't really help much.

I'm gonna need physical proof of this boat.

WHERE ARE YOUR SPACESHIPS?!

 

[EdibleKnife]

And we know it's a slave ship how?

Dating, evidence surrounding/within the wreckage, location, ship type, etc. Much like how they probably knew the Roman ship you posted was Roman

That's not a real Roman boat. There is no proof that there ever even where Romans.

 

[Makonero]

How long would you say a boat could cross the Atlantic with no motor, only by wind?

A few months. Are you saying no one can sail the width of the Atlantic?

 

[Des0lar]

That thing in the background? I bet it's not even a real boat.

So Op, you really are a slavery denier?

Hold on.

Are you literally claiming that transatlantic travel was impossible by boat?

 

[EdibleKnife]

After safe routes were established, 8 weeks max.

How do you know that boat is Roman?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

And we know it's a slave ship how?

http://www.law.cornell.edu/background/amistad/summary.html

So apparently that movie Amistad was based on a real slave revolt on a real Spanish ship that landed in "America" and there are court documents and a trial and a Supreme Court decision revolving around the whole fracas.

http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/amistad/supreme-court-opinion.html

So, that happened. #receipts

 

[Kabouter]

WHERE ARE YOUR SPACESHIPS?!

Well, being degenerate Europeans, we never had any, but we just destroyed other people's with our deviousness and primitive cannon and what not.

 

[Mysterious]

Have you ever played Wind Waker?
