How Americans Invented Slavery

I am intolerant of two things; hipsters and ignorance. Today's post falls mostly under category deux. Yesterday's AM NY had an interview with author Andrea Levy about her new book "The Long Song" about 19th century Jamaican slavery. The idiot reporter Emily Hulme wrote one of the stupidest statements I have ever read in a newspaper. I looked up her bio and even though she a shitty pop culture critic, she deserves no slack for the disingenuous white liberal nonsense that she spewed forth from her stank blowhole. The first stupid words out of her mouth were: "I was surprised to learn so much about the British involvement in the slave trade from your book. In school we only learned about the American history of slavery". Wow. Just wow. I assume this moron somehow graduated from high school and college after taking at least 4-5 history classes. I dont know if this is a poor reflection of our education system or if Ms. Hulme was just fucking her teachers to get by. Or maybe she was an All-State QB or the top NCAA Men's Point Guard.

I'm embarrassed for author Andrea Levy. She spends her career researching this subject, only to be interviewed by some under educated 23 year old middle American hipster brat. HOW THE FUCK DID SHE GET THIS JOB?!?!?!?! OR ANY JOB THAT INVOLVES READING AND WRITING?!?!?

I'm not going to get into a long economic/humanitarian discussion on the ethics or origins of slavery in the western hemisphere, but seriously. This woman cannot be so dumb as to really think that evil white Americans invented slavery while there was no role played by European traders and African warlords. I would honestly say all three are to blame. The simple laws of supply and demand explain it all. We all know slavery is bad. And we should all know it wasn't invented by evil whiteys in 1776. I'm not wasting time discussing my knowledge of history. If you are interested in the subject, do some research. Obviously Ms. Hulme was not interested enough to do any research whatsoever.

A message to Ms. Hulme: Strop tryin to get all deep and political and whateva and stick to reviewing the shitty ensemble Williamsburg bands and fake dive bars that are your bread and butter. If you do insist on writing articles that are not reviews of shitty bands or hipster bars, please do a minimum of five minutes of research. Also, suck my dick and move back to Iowa, and take your bedbugs with you.
