Black people invented Reason
-
2024-07-27 at 6:55 PM UTCA black man invented the ability to reason. You might disagree. You might even have some evidence to the contrary. But you have to ask yourself: is this really worth losing my job over? A black man invented the ability to reason.
This Reasonable Blackman was the John Reason, inventor of Reason.

It is only the non africans who corrupted this knowledge and feigned original creation to improve their standing and dominate the africans with externally applied pressure.

2024-07-28 at 4:19 AM UTCI feel like black peopel would be way happier if white people never showed up and taught them all this complicated ass shit they only half ass understood resulting in a bunch of precarious alliances with the white man as he just played one group off against another.
LIke yeah they were just spear chuckin booty scratchers back then but at least they weren't like in prison or struggling to read or have to hold down a job and raise a family. Like before they could just chill and do whatever but now we expect them to do way more than they've ever been prepared when we grabbed them out of their civilization like 200-300 years ago.
Like my people (white Europeans) had several thousand years to develop and become accustomed to living in a functioning society and we still have a small subset that struggles with that. It's not right to just expect an african to be forced into slavery bondage then freed then 3 or 4 generations expect him to function the way a white person can.
I hope that's not racist because I'm sympathizing with the african, this western developed world wasn't something he created it's something he was just kinda forced into and now struggles to adapt to even after 150 years. -

An understandable mistake for a savage Yakubian white devil to make, but there is another definition for "reason":
I feel that by saying "the ability to reason" in the OP (if not by capitalizing "Reason" in the thread title), I made it clear that this is what I was referring to. -

2024-07-29 at 6:02 AM UTCReasonable Blackman was a silk weaver based, by the end of the 1570s, in Elizabethan Southwark. He had
probably arrived in London from Antwerp in the Netherlands, which had a sizeable African population and was
a known centre for cloth manufacture. Around 50,000 refugees fled to England from the southern Netherlands
between 1550 and 1585, as war raged between Dutch rebels and Spanish forces occupying their country.
Blackman had a family of at least three children, named Edward, Edmund and Jane, and as none of them
were recorded as bastards in the parish register, we can assume he was married to their mother, about whom
we sadly know nothing. she was probably an Englishwoman.
That Blackman was able to support a family is a sign of his prosperity as a silk weaver (in fact, he may have
named himself Reasonable in order to draw attention to his ‘reasonable’ prices). The silk industry was new to
England and its products were the height of fashion. Once Queen Elizabeth I received her first pair of silk
stockings in 1561, she concluded: “I like silk stockings well; they are pleasant, fine and delicate. Henceforth I
shall wear no more cloth stockings.” The queen’s courtiers followed suit, and such was the demand that
imports of raw silk increased five-fold between 1560 and 1593. Tragedy struck the Blackman family in October
1592 when his daughter, Jane, and one of his sons, Edmund, died of the plague that struck London that year.
Nothing more is known of Blackman after the death of his children, but there is a tantalising record that
suggests his son Edward carried on his father’s trade. On 6 March 1614, when Edward Blackman would have
been 27, a certain “Edward Blakemore of Mile End, silkweaver” was married in Stepney.
The Prosperous Silk Weaver –
Reasonable Blackman
In 1596, a black man called Edward Swarthye
whipped John Guye, the future first governor of
Newfoundland. They were both servants in the
Gloucestershire household of Sir Edward
Wynter: Guye managed the iron works, while
Swarthye was the porter. This was considered
shocking and “unchristian like” at the time, but
not for the same reasons we might assume
today. It was the fact that such a high-status,
educated servant as John Guye had been
publicly humiliated that upset the onlookers, not
the colour of Swarthye’s skin. Swarthye had
likely been brought to England by Wynter after
he captained the Aid on Francis Drake’s
Caribbean raid of 1585–86, one of many
Africans who fled their Spanish enslavers to
join the English. The whipping was just one
incident in an ongoing family feud between the
Wynters and their neighbours, the Buckes.
(Guye had recently married James Bucke’s
daughter Anne, thus dividing his loyalties).
Bucke accused Wynter of a raft of crimes, from
enclosing the common land to having had him
assaulted. Edward Swarthye appeared as a
witness in the ensuing court case of 1597, his
testimony confirming that he, a black Tudor,
had whipped a white man before a crowd
assembled in the Great Hall at the Wynter’s
home, White Cross Manor. The fact that
Swarthye was allowed to testify in court
demonstrates that he was viewed as a free
man in the eyes of the law. Enslaved people
have been prevented from giving evidence
throughout history: the Romans would only
accept such testimony if it had been obtained
using torture, while in 1732 the state of Virginia
declared that black men and women were
“people of such base and corrupt natures that
their testimony cannot be certainly depended
on”. By contrast, Swarthye’s testimony was
taken by the Court of Star Chamber without
demur
