Blacks were 95% of the population in Haiti

In the United States during the same period they were 15% of the population, they didn't stand a chance

Do you think a "hope" voting block determines who wins the us presidential election?

It seems like hope is a republican product, this time around. Could it work for them as well as it did with the Obama campaign?

Not really.

/pol/ aside, pretty much everyone in the country hates both Clinton and Trump.

Whoever wins is just going to be the lesser of two evils (probably Clinton, since she's hated slightly less).
>>
>>1444232
This.

The average American is painfully aware of how incompetent our political class is.

Americans will be voting for whoever they hate the least.
>>
>>1444036
No. Each campaign used it in a very different way. Obama set his campaign up as 'We should have hope for the future, because we can make this country even better if we all pull together and work for it. Things seem bad, but be optimistic, here are some specific policy proposals I have that make sense and will advance that goal.' whereas Trump's campaign pays lip service to that but mostly runs on 'Scary brown people are trying to kill you and take all of your stuff! 1488! I have no plan just trust in the memes to fix your problems! What-evah, I do what I want!' Or at least, that's what Trump's campaign will look like if that clusterfuck of failed posturing and missteps they called a 'convention' is what they intend to put forth during the next few months.

Did european keep slaves during the medieval period? say (500-1500).

The romans kept them, and then when europeans started colonizing they took slaves from africa, but what about between then?
6 posts and 1 images submitted.

>>1443964
I would assume there were slaves (if the vikings kept thralls, then I feel the euros weren't far off), but there was just far less of them.
There was far less Roman Empire-length travel, so less foreign peoples conquered particularly often to be bought/sold as slaves.
There was a lot of serfs who couldn't afford slaves to begin with, and the nobility had serfs so who needs more free labor anyways?
And finally, if they did have slaves, they were probably so close to serf-tier anyways that the distinction is moot and it was probably as much penal labor with no chance of parole as anything else.
>>
>>1443964
Only if they were pagan,that's the main reason why the English word"slave" was named after the Slavs.


All historical sources irrefutably show that the Slavic area was the main reservoir of slaves in the whole period of Early Middle Ages, beginning probably in the 6th century, and with a peak around the 10th. This preference for slaves of Slavic origin – so strong as to make Slavs the slaves by antonomasia – has been easily explained: in that period Slavic people were the only ones who were still pagan, and this detail is most important as it explains why, by choosing them, early medieval slave traders – mostly Venetian, Genoese and Jewish – did not violate the new principles of the “Societas christiana”, introduced by Pope Gregory the Great at the end of the 6th century, according to which baptized people must be excluded from slavery. So we've obtained a safe dating for the word sclavus, in the sense of “slave”, which will be approximately the period between the sixth and tenth centuries. Source "Interdisciplinary and linguistic evidence for Palaeolithic continuity of Indo-European, Uralic and Altaic populations in Eurasia, with an excursus on Slavic ethno-genesis" by Mario Alinei, 2003.

Basically,Slavs were fair game because they've refused to betray their traditions,their culture and dignity to a foreign Semitic religion.
>>
>>1443964
Slaves were taken from pagan Slavs, Muslims, and Jews at the time. Cities like Prague, Venice, Marseilles, Dublin, Pisa, Barcelona, and others had slave markets throughout the period.

If religious people truly believe in the after life, why are they afraid of death and why do they do everything they can to avoid it?
10 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>1443916
After life is more than just a heaven / hell / purgatory / reincarnation process.

When you die in this life, you are no longer this body, and the mind is a part of the body, so the energy that is keeping you alive is what leaves the body and mind.

So, essentially afterlife is a continuation of life, and you are the essence that sustains your life now, rather than you being the body or mind.

It isn't a fear of death, but a fear of releasing every attachment, every person, every object, and every memory we have, and coming into terms with mortality shows us the impermanent nature of all that we witness with the 5 senses.
>>
>>1443916

1) Because most "religious" people are basically atheists who are nominally religious for cultural reasons.
2) Because the survival instinct is very powerful.

Killing yourself is a sin.
Willingly letting yourself die is killing yourself.

Therefore, you are obligated to not just let yourself die.

Apparently he went half insane after spending months at Tiberius's court in Capri, which was already batshit insane with the old fuck maddened by paranoia and raping or murdering everything in sight.
Then he went full insane after the sickness (meningitis? poisoning?) that almost killed him during his reign.

Had his father Germanicus yanked around by Tiberius his entire child hood, until Germanicus was finally killed by Tiberius. Then his mother was killed by Tiberius and he was forced to live with this paranoid fuck. Then he got sick, and went off the deep end. He was also not liked by the Senators of his time, so they probably amped up his crazyness by a bit.

Why does the common atheist never expand their ammunition past the same 4-5 beaten-to-death phrases? It's ridiculously cringeworthy and automatically makes me not take them seriously.

Historically how much did the average peasant in some bumfuck rural village know of the world? What was their world view? How often if ever would they visit their local city? Did they know the name of the king they lived under? Did they understand how far the kingdom stretched and what it bordered? For example, did the average peasant drafted into the crusades know of Islam and Jerusalem and the holy land prior to being informed by their local priest that he's going there?

Even today with the ease of mass communication the average person living in some rural isolated village has a comically underdeveloped understanding of the world so I can only imagine that in the middle ages it was a thousand times worse.

They would definitely know the name of the king. All that other stuff, no. They didn't travel and couldn't read (and there were no books or newspapers anyway). They would have never seen a map. News was just hearsay from traveling traders, etc, who might be encountered in market towns. They would have no way of knowing that other parts of the world or other time periods looked any different than their own village. They would believe what their priest told them completely, not knowing that competing ideas even existed.
