Yet, while this celebration of piracy seems like innocent fun and pride in a local culture, there is danger in romanticizing ruthless cutthroats who created a crisis in world trade when they captured and plundered thousands of ships on Atlantic trade routes between the Americas, Africa and Great Britain. Why? Because it takes these murderous thieves who did terrible things — like locking women and children in a burning church — and makes them a symbol of freedom and adventure, erasing their wicked deeds from historical memory. These were men (and women) who willingly participated in murder, torture and the brutal enslavement of Africans and Indigenous peoples.

The most prolific pirates today are from Africa. And this POS should moan about the pirates in Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta and Philly etc.
Did this POS.. write a similar column when The Pirates of the Caribbean were all the thing and raking in millions??
