It’s crazy that the whole abolitionist movement stepped into high gear when James Riley and his crew were turned into slaves to Saharan traders after they were shipwrecked in Africa, and James - the last surviving member of his entire crew - wrote a memoir about his ordeals.
It had to happen to the white man, for the white man to empathize with other slaves at the time, to call for abolishment. Very… uh… us.
apparently so!

well depends on what you think is happening with the person in the wheelchair’s “arm”
One day bro didn’t notice some falling ice and skidded right into a wall where he smashed his head, staggered around confused, tripped over a sea wall and smashed his head underwater, and then finally drowned
they didn’t but they knew that the spider would keep all eight eyes pinned on the cake whilst they snuck up on them from behind
you guys do realise the poster is making a joke I hope, no need to actually get upset about this
dailyklos - any other sources on this?
Guy’s a lying nonce obviously, but don’t want my blood boiling for no good reason
Im going to need a bag of marbles for this one
dont you flush after you take word dumps?
I guess, just imagine if someone who you didn’t particularly find atttactive but was friendly, said the same thing to you.
You would suddenly feel a little less liberated in your nudity, and perhaps feel the need to avoid that person, even if their intentions were not impure.
I think you meant well, and you added the nudity part to your compliment because it was such a new and profound way to suddenly see something beautiful.
Nudity usually takes on an erotic undertone, so it may genuinely have been a eureka moment for you to see something naked and beautiful outside that erotic context.
Unfortunately that undertone is there, no matter your intention, and I know you want to defend your intentions, but you would be digging a hole by doing so.
No need to spiral into complete self-doubt on whether you’re a good person or not. You know your intentions, you just goofed up on the delivery and unfortunately that made someone feel less secure.
It’s a learning experience, and you seem keen to learn, and I think just tread a bit more carefully in the future.
Thanks for sharing your story by the way, I feel like I’ve learned from it a bit myself

Genuine question

“…they’re gonna get a tragic backstory and sacrifice themselves for some noble cause.”

“Oh goddamit.”
Good
somewhat disingenuously though - my initial take away was that a car took up as much space as a bus and bike combined, and it was only later that I realised it was talking about morr efficient or cleaner ways to transport people
Well, if we use the car to scale - the bike should be 1 seat wide, the bus stop should be 2 seats wide, and the bus itself should be 5 seats wide
Someone with photoshop skills needs to fix this
whilst I agree with the message, no busses are that narrow
oh fair enough, I thought Riley’s story was influential in turning the tide of the movement in Britain, but you’re right – it was influential only in the US when Lincoln read the book
