The Walking Dead : Thanks, Crystal

Thanks, Crystal

I looked at the Don Lemon interview. Poor sod! The dreadful Karen he interviewed was full of shit, though. Had he been a scholar he'd have walked all over her. It's ridiculous to blame the slave trade exclusively on African kings. The British played a huge role in encouraging the slave trade. Also, abolitionists were likely lowlife capitalists who wanted to make profits from indentured labour, and thought slavery wasn't profitable enough (see Eric Williams).

I'm glad you watched it! It was almost as if she had that answer prepared, like she knew he might mention reparations. And he just said, "Hmm. It's an interesting discussion."

Re: Thanks, Crystal

He got well and truly fucked. What I found most interesting, though, is how easy it is to get bowled over if you're dealing with a question you haven't prepared for. An academic would have demolished her, but he's just a media figure (academics would probably make awful public speakers). I've even seen Chomsky completely demolished when he wasn't prepared….

Re: Thanks, Crystal

Oh and I tagged MovieMan on that post. Hopefully he will add his thoughts!

Re: Thanks, Crystal

He has thoughts????

Re: Thanks, Crystal

Hopefully he'll reply and you'll see his thoughts in action!

Re: Thanks, Crystal

He's like the soapbox version of Yermom. IQ of about 40.
