But, if you (or our handy dandy "journalist") had read the initial tweets and article Saida says no RACE outside of Europeans made slavery a personhood or kidnapped or transported slaves and that slavery is YALL (white people Europeans) thing. Which is pretty clear shes talking about historically and NOT about US…

I feel like there was some daughter half-truth happening there. Like, the daughter mentioned the project and feeling nervous, the mother freaked out, and the daughter, trying to agree with the mother to soothe her or simply deflect blame onto the teacher, claimed not to know it was happening until recently. If this…

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the “no one was ever informed of this final project or the nudity involved until last Thursday” refers only to the mother voicing the complaint.

The helicopter mom has landed. ;)

Wait, this isn’t standard operating procedure?

This is a really weird power dynamic, and I have to agree that it is super inappropriate. That being said, the student is an adult. Asking mom for support and advice is fine, but she needs to make the complaint herself.

Sounds creepy, there for sure should be another way to pass the module without doing it.

The Arab slave trade lasted into the late 19th early 20th century (from 650 to 1960 according to wikipedia) was my point. Not that the transatlantic slave trade wasn’t bad (arguably worse when you consider the long voyage and horrible condition). The exact practices in it ranged quite a bit as well. For instance the…

Good lord. Leave the internet and never return. Keep your stupidity away from the public.

Please stop.

Uh the Arab slave trade went on parallel to (and before) to the transatlantic slave trade. While white as a group shifted depending on the group and time (usually including Germans and Gauls but sometimes excluding those from the Mediterranean and Celtic groups) it existed at a time when the Arab slave trade was…

It bothers me that people as dumb as you exist.

There is no argument. You are factually incorrect. There isn’t even a question.

Nice transition to saying they were defending the slave trade—good obfuscation.

Acknowledging the Islamic slave trade is anti-Muslim? You dumb ass.

Not defending the slave trade at all, but I feel the summoning of my pedantic nature. Whites were enslaved at many points too, and not all slaving cultures were white by any means.

I’ll translate your answer for him: Ugh, everyone knows your right, but its easier to pretend that slavery is a white people thing rather than a human institution that lasted for millenia and white people happened to end. So now I’ll make a pithy comment to insult your intelligence rather than acknowledge the truth…

But she’s not pointing out facts, but falsehoods. Look, I deeply suspect the motives of the bloggers who made this an issue, and I certainly don’t think she should be fired, but she’s basically saying that whites committed the worst atrocities in history. While that is certainly true ON THIS CONTINENT in the last…

Her “history” is a false. Do you seriously believe that only white passed on slavery from parent to child or enslaved captured foreigner.? When you talk rubbish you should be called the ignorant fool you are and she is a ignorant fool.

Right Wing Twitter is loudly outraging itself today
