So the Count of Monte Cristo was really the highest ranking black man in a western army before 1989

yes, but those developed under french rule. the whole concept of creole is latin. the us assigned social position according to the legal status of the mother. if she was a slave, the child was a slave too. french and spanish colonies had a more complicated code that differentiated a persons rights by where they were born and the degree they were mixed. this created a social hirachy with fully whites born in europe on top, followed by whites born in the americas (the original creoles), followed by mixed people and fully black slaves at the bottom. mixed people could make it to certain positions of power and influence, especially by acquiring fortunes through trade. they could also own slaves themselves. as a result, the interests of mixed people differed from those of black slaves, which is why they didn't unite with them against white rule and tried to defend their privileges against black slaves fighting for freedom. this system was designed because the population in spanish and french colonies consisted of only a few whites and mainly black slaves and mixed people. so in order to prevent them from uniting against the white masters, the colonialists applied divide and conquer tactics. the us never had to do this, because the white population there was much larger.


again, you didn't read the book and have a poor grasp of history. the egypt campaign was about many things, among them napoleons ego, trade with india and the governments attempts to keep him away from paris. first you argued that he was defending french colonialism and when that turned out to be wrong you changed that to he was defending the slave trade. anyways, you're trolling, i'm done arguing with you :camby:
Of course you're done. Its hard to defend a house negro. YOu have no ground to stand on. Uh uh but he was a freedom fighter for france. Sit down. He was out there making cake for his bosses. Napoleon still has to kick back money to his nation. It doesnt matter how the job gets done. Long as it gets done. Yea it was about many things, INCLUDING SLAVERY!. Stop it. U done for the night.

You a muslim, a man that believes Muhammed is a prophet of God but wants to see Arabs dead. Hilarious. The confusion is up there with the Count of Monte Crisco. Making a cac mad means you're doing something right doesnt mean shyt really. They're both working for the same purpose, To make France wealthy, the difference being one of them wanted it more, Napoleon and destroyed his competitor, the count of Monte Crisco. Dude isnt a hero and i see no reason for him to be recognized as Black Excellence. c00n excellence, definately.
I don't want to see anyone dead.

Also, I guess we need to erase the entire Black excellence thread, because from athletes, to scientist, to music, to everything...... all those people fit ur c00n excellence label based on ur definitions. This count was no different- u play the cards ur dealt in the nation that ur born into.

Yeah I know that breh, it's just that it takes its toll...in Central African Republic some called me "Whitey", in Belgium "Blackie", then some Black people get mad when I claim being part Black...and some get mad at me claiming being part White :patrice:

Just venting out here tbh:yeshrug:
that sounds more like an international issue. in america, we are almost completely conditioned to think according to the one drop rule

Nope. Never maga. Don't vote.

You don't seem mentally together. Is everything alright? They are real posters that fit that description here for you to bother. You might be suffering from mental delusions.

People have disliked you around here for so long you're trying to make some friends with the look y'all Im democrat swag. It's not working. You're still a weirdo. Might I suggest the holy scriptures brother. I'm sure at the least we both could use some saving.
