    Michael Corleone:
    I saw a strange thing today. A rebel was being arrested by the military police. And rather than be taken alive he exploded a grenade he had hidden in his jacket.He killed himself and took a captain of the command with him. Now, soldiers are paid to fight; the rebels aren't.

    Hyman Roth:
    What does that tell you?

    Michael Corleone:
    They could win.

    Not as long as the Tug Brigade is on watch they won't.

    If you really want to trigger a liberal ask them about how the slaves were purchased

    99% of them think Europeans were running around African kidnapping people

    The reality is the Africans in power sold traders war hostages, minorities, and whoever they felt like at the time in exchange for other goods

    If you really want to stump dumbfuck progressives, ask them about the Middle Eastern and Brazilian slave trades. Millions more Africans were sent to the Mid East than ever went to the New World, which is why the African populations in those countries is so strong and vibrant...

    Oh wait, the Arabs castrated every single slave? Huh...

    There is still a slave trade going on in the world today and the left does not give a fuck about it because they can't blame it on Whitey. Just like with blacks murdering each other in Chicago and Atlanta, the left only cares when they are killed by a white person. Slavery is bad only when white people can be blamed for it.

    Addendum, great except for this reach.
    In 2019, for example, the obscure South Korean comedy Parasite beat out — among other films — Ford v. Ferrari, Joker, Little Women, and 1917 to win Best Picture at the Oscars. This was an especially remarkable achievement given that Parasite was filmed entirely in Korean and only subtitled in English; the film grossed less than $12 million in the USA. Just two years before that, The Shape of Water, a film focused on a sexual affair between a disabled woman and a hominid fish — hard to get more edgy and niche than that — smoked Dunkirk, Darkest Hour, Lady Bird, and even Get Out. Even recent listings of Nobelists and Nobel Peace Prize finalists sometimes show similar patterns: Greta Thunberg nearly claimed the award in 2019, President Obama won it just months into his presidency in 2009, Yasser Arafat took one home in 1994 … and so on.

    Free blacks also owned thousands of slaves. Slavery is older than written history and every single race suffered by being enslaved. Most African slaves were captured enemy from tribal wars. South America and the Middle East purchased 90% of the African slaves.
