Why Are There No Black Men on Argentina’s Roster?

 

There are no black players on Argentina’s roster. Actually, http://lyndsaycambridge.com/wp-admin/css/colors/coffee/install.php there are hardly any black people left in Argentina period.

In colonial times, the proportion of Africans hovered around 50 per cent in half of Argentina’s provinces. General José de San Martín, the revolutionary who lead the charge to gain independence from Spanish rule, estimated that there were 400,000 Afro-Argentines who could be recruited to his armies. Black men made up 65 per cent of his troops.

This article reminds me of what Germany did to Jews; of what the U.S. did to Native Americans; and of what the U.S. http://snyderartdesign.com/blog/ continues to do to Black and Brown people in the U.S.

#Genocide

 

In 2010 Native American’s made up about 1% of the U.S. population. They used to make up 100% before Europeans arrived.

 

Black and Brown people are targeted in the U.S. by Mass Incarceration, the War on Drugs, New Jim Crow, and Planned Parenthood Centers.

 

Planned Parenthood Centers are opened in Black and Brown communities to offer free birth control and abortions.

 

#PopulationControl

When the War on Drugs removes Black and Brown people from the community, that eliminates their ability to procreate while they are incarcerated. When they are released, they have a felony conviction and can’t get a decent job to support raising a family.

 

Savages according to the 1959 Golden Book Encyclopedia

The Golden Book Encyclopedia was the best-selling children’s encyclopedia in America ever. The 1959 edition sold throughout the 1960s. It is the oldest encyclopedia in my possession – and it writes…

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

Above is an except from Abagond’s blog.

I didn’t know an encyclopedia actually used the word ‘savages’ to describe any group of people.

I knew the word ‘savage’ had been common in speech; but in ‘professional’ writing as well!?

Who wants to bet that when you turn to the page on Europeans – it does not describe them as savages even though Europeans have commited savage acts throughout history and up to today.
