Oops I made a boo boo.

This says more like 40% of the Black slaves in the Atlantic Slave Trade ended up in Brazil.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Brazil

Demand for African slaves did not wane after the decline of the mining industry in the second half of the 18th century. Cattle ranching and foodstuff production proliferated after the population growth, both of which relied heavily on slave labor. 1.7 million slaves were imported to Brazil from Africa from 1700 to 1800, and the rise of coffee in the 1830s further enticed expansion of the slave trade.

Brazil was the last country in the Western world to abolish slavery. By the time it was abolished, on May 13, 1888, an estimated four million slaves had been imported/taken from Africa to Brazil, 40% of the total number of slaves brought to the Americas.[citation

That's a start, Witold. Notice the year 1888. Now think real hard: when did the United States ban the importation of slaves? When did slavery end in the United States.

Now, and I know this is hard for you, do the math. :)

Far less developed imperial power at the start, less exploitative slavery, very different sort of land to steal, far less racist thieves in charge.

I've only stated Brazil ended slavery LATER than the USA.

Now, I really know you have a reading comprehension issue.

Who is denying land size? The fault in your stars is your thoughts that Brazil of the 1800s was equal to the US of the 1800s. You're mixing apples and oranges, son.

Fair point.
The USA industrialized earlier & that who's fault?

Maybe the English are superior over Portuguese in intellectual fields.

But, maybe the Portuguese are superior in terms of abstract reasoning.

Considering Portuguese are more alarmed about hostile intruders.

Maybe the English like you are you know kind Autistic you think in boxes & that can be good for getting things achieved.
But the issue is you also can't think outside of the box.

Isn't counting slaves a race to the bottom?

Like any information or tool, it's not the fact that matters but how it's used. Slavery is as old as mankind. To claim or imply otherwise is dishonest.

The civilized world can be tracked by simply by observing who abolished slavery and when. The Brits abolished slave trading in 1807 but didn't ban slavery across the British Empire until 1833.

Slavery still exists in developing nations, especially Africa, which is larger than most developed nations. The failure of the United States government to resolve the illegal immigration issue is, IMO, the modern equivalent of indentured servitude. Only one step up from slavery so not much of an improvement.

As for racism:
Dutch Uncle said:
There's a lot of racism in politics both overt and covert. Each side likes to play the Race Card when it's convenient and seek to manipulate voters using race politics as a lever.

The reason racism is still strong in America is because it's politically expedient to keep it alive as a motivational tool. It doesn't matter if racism, birtherism, or anything else actually exists; through the power of social media, cable news and the Internet, they can make it exist for several million receptive Americans.

Dutch, I'd be interested in hearing you flesh this particular part out. ^^^ How is immigration policy indentured servitude in the USA
and what policy implication result from your analysis.

1.) Wrong. Brazil was larger than the 13 Colonies way back.

In fact if you exclude Alaska which only became a state in 1959. Brazil vs the Lower 48 USA are about the same size in land mass.

2.) Wrong, Brazil took 35% of all slaves in the Atlantic Slave Trade
& the USA just 5%.

Brazil also ended slavery later than the USA.

3.) Less racist thieves in charge? What id Madurro except Brazilian Trump?

Let me also add Brazil is the Portuguese version of the America.

Accuse the right of racism or call out racism at every turn whether it exists or not. Then of course snuggle right up to Guno,... far and away the biggest racist on the forum. Simply because he is left wing. THIS is why you are not taken seriously. You are a joke. A punchline. How truly typical. ;)

As always,...the left will lay down with ANY DOG if they think it helps their corrupt cause. You have no honor whatsoever....

Guno sucks more cock than a prison full of of ten dollar whores. I knew that little bitch from USMB. It posted the same bullshit there.
