"The fact that until the end of the 1620s more Britons lived in North Africa than North America is largely overlooked, and historians have concentrated instead on the looming prizes of the New World rather than the allure and danger of the Barbary states. North African privateers--largely driven by western maritime technology and renegade captives from Europe--regularly captured English and colonial sailing vessels, and the captives were frequently exchanged for much needed hard currency. The slave traffic, of course, ran in both directions as British and Maltese corsairs captured 'Barbary Pirates,' and the exchange of captives became regularized and an important aspect of the Mediterranean economy. Matar theorizes that the North African conflict received little attention by contemporary writers simply because Europeans were often overpowered at sea and, as he has shown in his earlier work, Christians regularly converted to Islam.

Supplementary #NMUKBBCChloeHarcombe "For hundreds of years, Edward Colston was celebrated and honoured by many in his home city of Bristol, but an anti-racism protest held in the city on 7 June 2020 changed that in the most dramatic way. The toppling of his statue five years ago today made headlines around the world, forcing Bristolians to examine the legacy of the 17th Century slave trader. ...
He found wealth through his work and later became an official of the Royal African Company, which held the monopoly in Britain on slave trading.
He is believed to have transported about 80,000 men, women and children from Africa to the Americas between 1672 and 1689. ...
The beginning of the end for Colston's close relationship with Bristol began thousands of miles away in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on 25 May, 2020.
Police were called to a grocery store to reports of a 46-year-old man allegedly paying for a pack of cigarettes with a counterfeit $20 bill. That man was George Floyd.
Former police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on Mr Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes during his arrest. Mr Floyd's pleas of "I can't breathe" as he died sent shock waves around the world - including towards Bristol.
Black Lives Matter protests sprung up across the world, calling for an end to racism and police brutality." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg4ej8j41yo #ToponymAmericaNorthUSMinnesotaMinneapolis #2025_

#MetaphorDeceitLugenpresseFakeNews "This is what the Czech Republic has to say about our recent election.
'The danger to America is not Joe Biden, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Biden presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Biden, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Biden, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president'"

Addendum In his radio programme #NMUKBBCThingsFellApartJonRonson presents the thesis that #IRLDeceasedGeorgeFloyd's murder was caused in part as a consequence of a seemingly debunked theory of #ConditionExcitedDeliriumExDS [Wikipedia], which in its characterisation of sufferers having 'superhuman strength', might have contributed to #IRLMurdererDerekChauvin's use of excessive force. I would be curious to know how much the #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryBrute has played into the original formulation of the ED theory.

These were the words spoken by a fellow police officer as Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd's neck for the final eight minutes of his life. This concern for 'excited delirium' may now become part of the case for the defense in the upcoming trial for the murder of George Floyd, as it has for other Black men before him." https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-excited-delirium-is-misused-to-justify-police-brutality/ #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfrican

Context #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesJoeCoscarelli "What began as an attempt by two music insiders to pause business as usual across the industry on Tuesday, in response to the protests sweeping the nation, broadened and morphed overnight on social media into a less focused action, resulting in a sea of black boxes across Instagram and other platforms. Brands including Spotify, Live Nation, Apple, TikTok and many of the largest record companies said on Monday that they would cease most operations the following day, in light of the demonstrations sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The industry blackout initiative, which started under the hashtag #CampaignHashtagTheShowMustBePaused, was the brainchild of two black women who work in music marketing, Jamila Thomas and Brianna Agyemang." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/02/arts/music/what-blackout-tuesday.html #IRLDeceasedGeorgeFloyd #ToponymAmericaNorthUSMinnesotaMinneapolis #2020_PoliceBrutalityProtests [Wikipedia]
