When you kill 10 million Africans, you aren't called "Hitler" (ART.)

fukked up.

The writer seems to be upset that this issue is not talked about more and he has a point. But I place some of the blame on the people you have to want to seek knowledge and learn about this.

bro....how many people in your personal life do you know seek this type of knowledge? If you can name more than 10, more power to you and your social setting.

who's fault it that. In this country at least knowledge is not that hard to come by and people can learn about anything. Though you are right people do not seek this type of information and just go into topics that interest them and for alot of people slavery and genocide is not topic they pursue. Although i feel black people who have a passing interest in there African origins should come across this when they study African history.

I remember learning about him in history class so I don't understand why the article acts like people don't learn about him. I learned about him in the intro history class in college. Dude was fukked up as hell though.

:rudy: He didn't say people don't learn about him, he said
Most of us – I don’t yet know an approximate percentage but I fear its extremely high – aren’t taught about him in school.

lol, only in HL do we pretend that public education.... especially schools filled with black youth, are taught African history outside of civil rights movements and Egypt.

Yup, Belgium :snoop:

Anyway no one speaks about no shyt that happened in Africa under different colonials rules, like how many know that concentration camps did not start with the Nazis, but way earlier in Namibia...

The Belgians were some of the most evil motherfukkers on earth and they were by far the most inhumane to Africans.

Everyone knows that history we learn in America is written by WHITE PEOPLE from a WHITE PERSPECTIVE. The fact that 10 million died isn't really that big a deal to many white people in all honestly. Hence the reason that the transgressions of the Belgian people are usually swept under the rug. Unfortunately, many "educated" blacks think they know everything because they hold some degree from a "white" university. Hopefully those who don't know about the Belgian Congo do some research. The results are horrifying and make the fukking HALOCAUST look like a fukking carribean vacation.

:pacspit: at the belgian legacy in the Congo.

Stalin killed way more white people than Hitler, Hitler became the ultimate evil bad guy in western media because of post war politics(Jews, Israel, peace with USSR)

stalin didnt try to actively take over the world by starting a war in europe. he kept his atrocities concealed and his enemies in-house, instead of making everyone who wasnt part of his so-called clan an enemy.

i learned about king leopold in my HS french class, taught by a white dude :manny:
