They believe that the human race is a valid biological concept... . The researchers associated with Pioneer tend to be race-realists.' -- Pioneer Fund website on 'race realism' '[Pioneer Fund founder Wickliffe] Draper's interest, such as it was, in the Repatriation [of black Americans to Africa] Movement was quite separate from the Pioneer Fund. Further ... [t]he movement had a long history of support, and from 1917-1923 was popular among a great many African Americans. ... Harry Weyher (president of Pioneer from 1958 to 2002), who knew Draper well, noted that Draper's main interest was in the Black-led voluntary repatriation movements.' -- Pioneer Fund website, defending the racial views of its founder" [The Southern Poverty Law Center] #IRLWhiteNationalistPhilippeRushton [Wikipedia] "'Whites have, on average, more neurons and cranial size than blacks... Blacks have an advantage in sport because they have narrower hips -- but they have narrower hips because they have smaller brains.' -- J. Philippe Rushton, speaking at the 2000 American Renaissance conference 'Throughout the world, Europeans and East Asians (Chinese, Japanese and Koreans) average the highest IQs and socio-economic positions. The lowest averages are found among the Aborigines in Australia and in Africans and their descendants. Intermediate positions are occupied by the Amerindians, the South Asians from the Indian sub-continent, the Maori in New Zealand, and by the mixed race peoples in South Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The same pattern is found on many other social and life history indicators, such as educational levels, earnings, health, accidents, crime, marriage, fertility, and mortality.' -- J. Philippe Rushton in a 2008 post to the anti-immigrant hate site Vdare.com titled, 'Richard Lynn's The Global Bell Curve--The Explanation That Fits The Facts.'" [The Southern Poverty Law Center]
Addendum the logic of this fails to recognise the commonly held understanding of #TheoryAnthropologyMonogenism [Wikipedia] (and the commonly accepted #TheoryAnthropologyOutOfAfricaOOA [Wikipedia] of human evolution #MetaphorTransformationEvolutionHomoSapienHuman seemingly, originating in the #ToponymAfricaEastHornOfAfricaHoA [Wikipedia] ). And so, for the logic of this tweet to hold up, these so called 'white people' must have somehow developed separately i.e. #NarrativeTruthHypotheticalPolygenism [Wikipedia] as per #BeliefPseudoscienceScientificRacism and that in doing so, the argument seeks to shift the responsibility of #PowerControlChattelSlavery from a phenomenon whose responsibility is shared by all of us to one, which only applies to one group - importantly, excluding #PhenomnResponsibilityCulpability for so called 'white people'. This argument is a form of #PhenomnMisdirectionScapegoating. Whether the person posting this tweets realises this or not, the logic of their argument fits a #PoliticsNationalismWhiteSupremacy worldview - of distinct and separate 'races' i.e. #MetaphorPurityRace

@CyrilGeorge [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [164]: @BlkHistStudies #BlackHistoryMonthUK remind the #Woke #BLM folk of the slavery conducted by #Muslim #Arab slave traders and the #Ottomans (who included millions of white Christians). Here are some facts to use . Modern slavery still goes on in #Muslim countries especially #Libya [URL redacted]
"SOME FACTS about slavery the BLM crowd don't want you to know Historian Alan W. Fisher has stated that two million white Russians, Ukrainians, and Poles were captured and sold into slavery by Muslims between 1468 and 1694. Ottoman capital of Istanbul imported as many as 2.5 million slaves from Christian Europe and parts of the Muslim and Christian Caucasus between 1450 and 1700 Muslim slave traders trafficked 17 MILLION slaves along the Middle East, Indian Ocean and North Africa. Compare that to the FIFTEEN MILLION slaves who arrived in the Americas Some 5000 Ethiopian slaves passed through just ONE port (daily) on their way to Arabia. In India millions of slaves were taken after many wars and enslaved The first legal slave owner in American history was a black tobacco farmer name Anthony Johnson. North Carolina's largest slave holder in 1860 was a black plantation owner named William Ellison. American Indians owned thousands of black slaves. In 1830 there were 3,775 free black people who owned 12,740 black slaves. Many black slaves were allowed to hold jobs, own businesses, and own real estate. Brutal black-on-black slavery was common in Africa for thousands of years. Most slaves brought to America from Africa were purchased from black slave owners. Slavery was common for thousands of years. White people ended legal chattel slavery." #IRLHistorianAlanFisher #ToponymEastMiddleTurkeyIstanbul #PhenomnHumanTrafficking #PowerControlChattelSlavery #NarrativeTruthFabricationBlackOnBlackCrime #ReasoningFallacyStrawman #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTradition #OtheringHateIslamophobiaAntiMuslim #PowerControlBarbaryCaptivityNarratives
Context #OrgUSAfricanAmericanIntellectualHistorySocietyAAIHSTylerParry "As one of the few documented Black landowners in 17th-century Virginia, his unique story has morphed into a manipulative trope used by right-wing activists. From the 1960s-90s Johnson was predominantly known among academics who studied slavery, but interest in his (misrepresented) life has recently gained traction with the advent of digital sharing, discussion sites, and public forums. For instance, as of July 12, 2019 Johnson's Wikipedia page claims he was a 'colonist' sold by 'Arab slave traders,' though there is no citation for the latter claim, nor is it supported by historians. It was likely added by a user who hoped to redirect blame from the Atlantic Slave Trade toward the 'Arab Slave Trade,' a popular talking point among right-wing commentators. In his podcast disputing reparations for slavery, conservative pundit Michael Knowles reiterated this myth about Johnson without reviewing the available literature. Such historical distortions seek to minimize Europe's culpability in expanding African slavery and discredit the system's intergenerational impact upon African Americans." https://www.aaihs.org/the-curious-history-of-anthony-johnson-from-captive-african-to-right-wing-talking-point/ #IRLHistoricalFigureAnthonyJohnson [Wikipedia] #ToponymAmericaNorthUSVirginia #MetaphorPeriodization17thCentury #IdentityArab #BrandTheDailyWirePolemicistMichaelKnowles #MetaphorWarfareUnderAttackBlameAvoidance #PhenomnResponsibilityCulpability
