This board is dedicated to the discussion of history and the other humanities such as philosophy, religion, law, classical artwork, archeology, anthropology, ancient languages, etc. Please use /lit/ for discussions of literature. Threads should be about specific topics, and the creation of "general" threads is discouraged.

For the purpose of determining what is history, please do not start threads about events taking place less than 25 years ago. Historical discussions should be focused on past events, and not their contemporary consequences. Discussion of modern politics, current events, popular culture, or other non-historical topics should be posted elsewhere. General discussions about international culture should go on /int/.

/his/ is not /pol/, and Global Rule #3 is in effect. Do not try to treat this board as /pol/ with dates. Blatant racism and trolling will not be tolerated, and a high level of discourse is expected. History can be examined from many different conflicting viewpoints; please treat other posters with respect and address the content of their post instead of attacking their character.

When discussing history, please reference credible source material, and provide as much supporting information as possible in your posts.

the amount of mental gymnastics people will go through just to avoid the fact that blacks just aren't very smart is wild. Do you just not believe in darwinism?

Environments where its advantageous to have certain traits are more likely to produce those traits. You have high IQ races stemming from complex societies where, say, having an intuitive understanding of math helps when trading and paying taxes for example.

I've never seen IQ scores for australian abos but I know for a fact they have low IQs because there's just no need for it from a biological point of view. It would go against basic darwinistic principles.

Trading across the Sahara was an arduous journey, and even merchants ran the risk of their own caravans dying, so I don’t think merchants would be bringing along fleets of hungry and thirsty horses across a desert the size of the USA.

>What do you mean? How could they domesticate a horse that doesn't exist on their continent?
They used horses that were already domesticated. They literally witnessed Western settlers using it for riding and work. How is that comparable in any way whatsoever to prehistoric African tribes encountering a wild zebra?

>They could've had the same thought process that led people in Eurasia to domesticate the horse or cattle or anything else
Horses in Eurasia evolved in a place with few predators and humans in vast lush steppes. They were far easier pickings

Well somehow they got down there. Horses have been in subsaharan Africa for a while now

He was wrong, obviously. It should be obvious even then.

If someone is a murderer, should we or do we allow them to continue freely murdering more people as a way of forgiveness? No, of course not. Forgiving a person for committing murder does not mean you are going to approve of the act of murder itself. But this is exactly what the sodomites want. The sodomites truly are the lowest of the low, and it's a disgrace to even talk about the evil acts of those men.

I’ll never understand genetic purists when it comes to Natives and Euros mixing. Most of South America also has African ancestry than never gets taken into account. The ones “Whites” hate are mostly always “Native” majority. You can tell the difference between a Caucasian Latin American and a majority native. Plenty of Americans have mixed native ancestry and nobody accuses them of being culturally different.

Funny but Hispanics and Whites intermarry at similar rates.
>>
>>15690253
I have no problem with that but Americans still call me Latino and Hispanic despite not speaking Spanish and having an American father.

Despite our major differences, I think one think both Catholics and Orthodox can agree on is that Protestants are basically secularists borderline atheists.

Also what is this fucking cat lady bitch larping about. She doesn't understand astrology because, news flash, nobody does. That technique - in the Ellulian sense - has been lost, and in our postmodern materialism is either looked at like it's astronomy's retarded lesbian stepgrandmother or is appropriated by cherrypicking syncretic new-agers for aesthetic purpose. It's like alchemy - we don't even really know what the point was, so an overly literal interpretation of the symbols has led to scorn on one materialist side and complete fantasy on the pseudospiritual side.

Historically Black churches are typically Evangelical Christians in terms of theology and social attitudes but they are often separated out from White Evangelicals because they have different political beliefs. Mainly-- Black Prots think its good to help the poor (second only to Buddhists), other Evangelicals think its bad to help the poor (second only to Mormons). This ripples out into voting patterns

>>15690283
If you aren't in communion with the Pope you have no room to say that other people "aren't Catholic". At least be consistent.

Is it safe to assume that Germany and Italy would return to a basic agrarian way of life if the Nazis and fascists were to win World War I with the appeal they made to the Middle Ages rather than modernism?
>>

I assume you mean WW2. Anyway, the answer is no. Can't have an agrarian society if all your fields are irradiated.
>>
>>15690124
Yes, sorry that was a typo.
>>
>>15690117
No. Industry and industrialization were important parts of both regimes. The Nazis had plans (albeit no concrete ones to my knowledge) to establish Wehrbauern (defensive peasants) in Eastern Europe once the Final Victory was achieved. The concept of the Wehrbauer has its origins in the early middle ages and those were farmers who were tasked with defensive and delaying actions against enemy incursions to win time for the actual mobilization effort. As such those Wehrbauern often has special rights like a complete exemption from taxes or larger estates. The Nazi concept of the Wehrbauern was quite similar in that regard as they should defend the eastern border of the Reich against light incursions and serve as an early warning system and defensive bulwark against stronger forces.

No. Mussi Mussi wanted an industrialized country and colonies to provide raw materials and food

Throughout history, why were feminine men more stigmatized than masculine women? Aren’t they committing the same social and moral transgressions?

How can any Christian with an IQ above room temperature reconcile with the fact that you proclaim your god is "all loving", yet condemns those who do not worship him to a plane of existence of eternal torment and damnation, even if they have not heard of Jesus Christ?

That he will "forgive you for your sins!" but supposedly banishes you to a burning pit for all eternal for getting ass-fucked?

That you must hate your family, or you not be accepted into the kingdom of heaven?

That he himself calls himself a jealous god and calls himself "vengeful" and "strong in wrath"?

There seems to be a significant amount of cognitive dissonance at work here, because every single "actual" Christian I know or who I have talked to says this to me all the time, that he loves you, and cares for you...Right now, the ancient Roman gods seem more loving than he does.

They didn't really colonize anything but empty and low population islands. More or less their game plan was to avoid other people and run when they were found. Fiji used to be 100% inhabited by them alone but they surrendered it or got killed off there so the locals look quite different now.

Kids are retarded and have no money or freedom, which is easy to exploit.
