@Anaidj9d @archeohistories Damn you are uneducated as f*ck

@archeohistories This is not true and history does not support that any Europeans were ever enslaved they were indigent meaning they were Muslims that worked for the Europeans as servants and they were in chains at the bottom of slave ships! Tell the truth!

A new study suggests that a million or more European Christians were enslaved by Muslims in North Africa between 1530-1780 – a far greater number than had ever been estimated before. In a new book, Robert Davis, professor of history at Ohio State University, developed a unique methodology to calculate the number of white Christians who were enslaved along Africa’s Barbary Coast, arriving at much higher slave population estimates than any previous studies had found. Most other accounts of slavery along Barbary coast didn’t try to estimate the number of slaves, or only looked at the number of slaves in particular cities, Davis said. Most previously estimated slave counts have thus tended to be in the thousands, or at most in the tens of thousands. Davis, by contrast, has calculated that between 1 million and 1.25 million European Christians were captured and forced to work in North Africa from 16th-18th Centuries. “Much of what has been written gives the impression that there were not many slaves and minimizes the impact that slavery had on Europe,” Davis said. “Most accounts only look at slavery in one place, or only for a short period of time. But when you take a broader, longer view, the massive scope of this slavery and its powerful impact become clear.” Davis said it is useful to compare this Mediterranean slavery to the Atlantic slave trade that brought black Africans to the Americas. Over the course of four centuries, the Atlantic slave trade was much larger – about 10 to 12 million black Africans were brought to the Americas. But from 1500 to 1650, when trans-Atlantic slaving was still in its infancy, more white Christian slaves were probably taken to Barbary than black African slaves to the Americas, according to Davis. “One of the things that both the public and many scholars have tended to take as given is that slavery was always racial in nature – that only blacks have been slaves. But that is not true,” Davis said. “We cannot think of slavery as something that only white people did to black people.” During the time period Davis studied, it was religion and ethnicity, as much as race, that determined who became slaves. “Enslavement was a very real possibility for anyone who traveled in the Mediterranean, or who lived along the shores in places like Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, and even as far north as England and Iceland,” he said. Pirates (called corsairs) from cities along the Barbary Coast in north Africa – cities such as Tunis and Algiers – would raid ships in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, as well as seaside villages to capture men, women and children. The impact of these attacks were devastating – France, England, and Spain each lost thousands of ships, and long stretches of the Spanish and Italian coasts were almost completely abandoned by their inhabitants. At its peak, the destruction and depopulation of some areas probably exceeded what European slavers would later inflict on the African interior. Although hundreds of thousands of Christian slaves were taken from Mediterranean countries, Davis noted, the effects of Muslim slave raids was felt much further away: it appears, for example, that through most of 17th Century the English lost at least 400 sailors a year to the slavers. Even Americans were not immune. For example, one American slave reported that 130 other American seamen had been enslaved by the Algerians in the Mediterranean and Atlantic just between 1785-1793. *** Davis’s new estimates appear in the book Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800 (Palgrave Macmillan). 📷 : Scene at a slave market by Swiss artist Otto Pilny (1866-1936) painted in 1919. #archaeohistories

@archeohistories Did he end up with loose skin

In 1965, a young Scottish man named Angus Barbieri (1938-1990) walked into the University of Dundee hospital with an extraordinary request: “I want to stop eating—completely.” At 207 kilograms (456 pounds), Angus wasn’t interested in conventional diets or calorie counting; he wanted to eliminate food entirely. What seemed impossible became one of the most extraordinary fasting experiments in medical history. Under careful medical supervision, Angus began a fast intended to last only a few days. He consumed only water, tea, black coffee, and small doses of vitamins and electrolytes. To everyone’s surprise, hunger never became overwhelming. His body efficiently burned fat reserves, and week by week, month by month, he steadily lost weight. “I forgot what hunger feels like,” he remarked, astonishing doctors with his resilience. After an incredible 382 days without solid food, Angus ended his fast in July 1966 with a simple meal: a boiled egg, a slice of bread, and some butter. By then, he had lost 125 kilograms, dropping to 82 kilograms (180 pounds). Remarkably, he never regained the weight and lived the rest of his life without major health issues. While doctors strongly warn against attempting such an extreme fast, Angus Barbieri’s journey remains the longest recorded fast in medical history—a testament to discipline, transformation, and human endurance. © Historyfeels #archaeohistories

@BeysPinkyFinger Fake AF

Shanny crying and wailing like a banshee because Rev was upstairs talking to a girl on the phone 🤣🤣🤣

@butterflyinth19 She isn't a fal risk. We saw her running up the stairs

She seems confident they won’t kick a woman that’s a fall risk out on the street. She is in denial. Essie comes in and says rev is meeting up with her. #shannyforchrist

@butterflyinth19 She isn't a fall risk

@Matt_Pinner Ugly

What pronouns would you use here?

@NWCryptos_ @endracism001 Raised with violence. Repeating it

@endracism001 Nah fuck that put the dude in prison. So your telling me that the word they call each other everyday hurts so bad when a small white girl says it that you have to try and kill her in retaliation? You LOW IQ people just want to see white people die is all it is.

@Afrikhan12 @NWCryptos_ @endracism001 So you are saying Black people using it have a low IQ? Ok got it

@NWCryptos_ @endracism001 The low IQ is when you use a word that you know is going to get your ass whooped. People with a higher IQ will not use that word. But the low IQ will use it and learn quickly that they shouldn’t by getting their ass whooped.

@endracism001 Did a big bad word hurt him?

@DOGEQEEN She looks high

Singer P!nk calls MAGA an “insult to humanity” and says, “If you’re a Trump supporter, then don’t listen to my music.” Thoughts?

@queenie4rmnola 😂😂😂😂

Thanks so much for everyone who donated to help me raise money to afford a lawyer to divorce my abusive soon-to-be ex husband. I’m so much closer to my goal. Every little bit helps. 🖤❤️💚 gofund.me/30561c052

@michaelmannspc @queenie4rmnola Stop sucking up to that trash.

@queenie4rmnola Sadly many of us white folks haven't had a real look at what our privilege is because we just assume it's normal stuff everyone gets, when it isn't.

I don’t believe all white people are racist but it doesn’t matter because all benefit from a system that affords them white privilege. And their neutrality maintains an unjust system that perpetuates racial inequality

@queenie4rmnola A doctor begging for money for a divorce? Is that the guy you married after 6 months? Learned nothing in psychology I see 😂😂😂😂

@etherian_heart @DoorDash She walked in. No one told her to walk in

Honestly didn't need much to delete door dash; I hope that poor girl gets an even better job soon fuck @DoorDash

@ForeverSeabass @OliLondonTV Thats a she?

@OliLondonTV Olivia needs to focus on herself.

Democrat Influencer Olivia Julianna demands students walk out of schools in protest to Jimmy Kimmel’s show being suspended. “FREE JIMMY KIMMEL.” The activist shared a post calling for a “school walkout” after Kimmel’s show was suspended following his Charlie Kirk comments.

@OliLondonTV I dont think they can walk anywhere

@ImMeme0 Trans what? Can't tell what it is

Since yesterday, I can say with certainty that the Democrats are completely fine and even joyful about the violence on college campuses and in schools. I don’t want to hear jack shit from them about anything anymore.

@ImMeme0 FBI needs to see this

PURE EVIL: This TikToker not only rejoiced but prayed for Charlie to die after finding out about his assassination. She also made an “enemy list” including Charlie and President Trump, hoping for Trump to be “off the menu.” From what I gathered, she works at a fast food place. X, do your thing! TikTok is completely fine with this vile content on their platform and you know why!!
