Duke University Is Removing The Robert E. Lee Statue From Its Chapel

[Bill]

Charlestown and Southie are being sold out to the highest bidder developers. Nothing but condo's for hipsters going up. Displacing everyone. I doubt they could make a movie like that there anymore, that is how much it is changing.

Gentrification??

[Bill]

I know. Sad. The nice thing about cities for me anyway used to be the different sections. Different cultures, different restaurants, etc. That is all going over the side and I do not think it is a good thing.

I love that as well......

Slavery and the Hollocaust are both stains on our societies but because we did not commit the crimes of the Hollocaust, slavery is our stain. 2,000,000, possibly more people died being transported to the USA, I have not seen the number of those that died once they arrived, but once here they were treated like livestock, bred, maintained and sold for value as labor.

Although the Hollocaust and Slavery were different in their nature, they are both atrocities and in no way be excused or trivialized by trying to say one is worst than the other.

Yeah, you're right. One murder is not worst than the other because one tortured and one did not.

Rana can't get anything right, her 2,000,000 figure is bullshit. The real total was much nearer to 400, 000. The vast majority of slaves were shipped to places like Brazil.

The most comprehensive analysis of shipping records over the course of the slave trade is the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, edited by professors David Eltis and David Richardson. (While the editors are careful to say that all of their figures are estimates, I believe that they are the best estimates that we have, the proverbial "gold standard" in the field of the study of the slave trade.) Between 1525 and 1866, in the entire history of the slave trade to the New World, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World. 10.7 million survived the dreaded Middle Passage, disembarking in North America, the Caribbean and South America.

Unless it was a civil war memorial chapel what was a statue of the white supremacist General Lee doing in the chapel in the first place?

So what's your point? Less than 400,000 were sent directly to the US not 2,000,000 as stated by Rana. Stop being a loathsome prick for once in your life!!

And how many of these 10.7 million Africans were shipped directly to North America? Only about 388,000.That's right: a tiny percentage.

In fact, the overwhelming percentage of the African slaves were shipped directly to the Caribbean and South America; Brazil received 4.86 million Africans alone! Some scholars estimate that another 60,000 to 70,000 Africans ended up in the United States after touching down in the Caribbean first, so that would bring the total to approximately 450,000 Africans who arrived in the United States over the course of the slave trade.
