The Mask of Memory: White Racial Fantasy After the Civil War

"In the early twentieth century, a group of white writers, artists, and performers from the cultural hub of Charleston, South Carolina, created and curated a highly sanitized view of slavery. They imagined a once and future plantation society that would reestablish them as the proper heirs of the slave past. In the process, they crafted a set of dangerously durable and virulent stereotypes about slavery."

Servus: How Slavery Made the Roman Empire

"From the fields of wheat required to give every Roman their daily bread, to the actors and gladiators who provided their circuses, and the miners who kept Rome a city of gold and marble, enslaved people were the bedrock of the Roman Empire. These enslaved people were ubiquitous, but silenced."

The same people who learned in school about the inhuman conditions aboard slave ships and on plantations of the colonial past are not at all disturbed by the present-day slave conditions in EU-funded camps in Libya, where enslaved “migrants” and “refugees” are crammed shoulder to shoulder, body against body in what is euphemistically called “migration management.”

And you know you've offended liberals when Bluesky labels this video 'graphic media', despite the fact that no one is acting in a violent manner and there are no visible signs of injuries. This is how people in the West are coerced into accepting dehumanization and crimes against humanity.

France moves to symbolically repeal slavery legislation.

Members of the lower house of the French parliament unanimously voted to abolish a series of royal edicts known as the “Code noir” or Black Code.

While slavery was outlawed more than 170 years ago in France, the old royal decree was superseded and not overturned, the vote comes as the country continues to grapple with its colonial legacy.
