Most everyone in the world in the 1800s considered not only most African tribes, but any aboriginal peoples as savages-not complete human beings with the same faculties, but more of a half-man, half-animal. That included the Chinese, Japanese, Europeans, and Russians.
----------
What has happened over the course of the last 100 years with the Ugyhurs in western China pretty much corresponds with how native populations have been treated in western Canada, Australia, and the US in the mid to late 1800s. The process in China with it's aboriginal populations began with even more strong emotions and motivation stemming back to the Ming Dynasty. The fact that the Mongol empire had been able to conquer much of China in the 1200s had been seen by Chinese bureaucrats, lawmakers, and philosophers as the ultimate insult to the Chinese nation. When Zhu Yuanzhang subsequently destroyed the Mongol seat of power and installed the Ming one hundred years later, it had been through an especially brutal show of force even by imperial Chinese standards. And in the years after that, the Ming administrators sought to see that the Mongol threat and any future possibility of it was to be completely exterminated once and for all. It was a process that historians familiar with the final years of the Indian Wars in the American west would intimately know. Tribes were pursued and hunted down across the steppes. Also eliminated from Ming standard operating procedure was the ancient custom of exchanging princesses for marriage between Chinese bureaucrats and the leaders of other groups who came into contact with the expanding Chinese dominion, such as the Persians, Arabs, Alexandrian Greeks, and various Turkic tribes in order to quell potential conflict and establish diplomatic and economic relations. Under the Ming, this practice was abolished. The only acceptable terms were unconditional surrender, or face annihilation. Whenever the Imperial troops could not outmatch or outmaneuver the forces of the nomads in combat, they went after their livestock herds and their villages. Herds were hunted to extinction, villages raided and burned, and women and children rounded up as hostages until the warriors were worn down and had no other alternative but surrender, or starve and freeze to death as the winter approached. Those who turned themselves in to Ming authorities were forced to give up their herding and nomadic lifestyles and relocate to plots of land specifically alotted for their resettlement. 'Sinification', or merging into Chinese society meant learning the Chinese language and new trades in order to thrive in an urban and suburban lifestyle. It was at this time when the totalitarian apparatus of the modern Chinese state reached full maturity. The social credit, or wukou system, was implemented nationwide so authorities can know by a simple perusal of government records and newly coded punchcards just who is living where and who has moved, opened farms and businesses, entered/left military service, incurred civil or military penalties, and the like. Ming authorities also implemented a MASSIVE surveillance and reward-for-information system in the resetlement zones to prevent the assimilated tribes from formenting new ideas for rebellion or radicalization. Some Mongol rebels such as Altan Khan attempted to fight back against the imperial government and even won a few victories, but by the Qing Dynasty's arrival in 1644 and through the early Qing years from 1644 to 1700, whose officials continued where the Ming left off, the military power and cultural structure of the Mongolian nation had effectively been decimated as a whole. Ironically, it would not be until the 1920s when Mongols would have their own country to call home again, in the form of the USSR's granting of sovereignty to a contested region on the China - Russia border now known as Outer Mongolia.
The saga of the Uyghurs began in the 1870s, when the Chinese government took renewed interest in the western borderlands, this time for economic reasons. The Gentlemens' Societies of Guangdong and Shanghai were elite clubs of wealthy businessmen who were intricately connected to the political and military machine. Their patronage and rewards of profitable investments and ore for China's fledgling industrial infrastructure persuaded the Qing Dynasty to solidify the Xinjiang region directly under imperial control. When the Gentlemens' Society and their newly created constitutional government overthrew the Qing monarchy in 1911, a brief power vacuum occurred in Xinjiang. During this time, the Society offered spectacular franchise opportunities to any investor who wanted to roll the dice in Xinjiang's vast stores of iron, coal, and petroleum resources, along with military aid if they needed it, and the region was quickly divided into several hemispheres of control by mining magnates from the east. Sandaoling became a name synonymous with coal, and Shaanxi, with petrochemical and natural gas, and later, fissionables and rare earth metals under the CCP. The Uyghurs had always been considered little more than aboriginal savages to the three consecutive Chinese governmental systems which governed Xinjiang, whose periodic bouts of rebelliousness required shows of force from the government or corporate security forces to put them back in their place, however, their recent tendencies to be radicalized by Islamic terror groups located in Central Asia close to China's border, most notably Al Qaeda, had practically opened the green light for the CCP to go "balls out" on the entire region. Xinjiang today is perhaps THE most heavily policed and electronically monitored place in the world. You literally cannot step foot in it for more than 1 minute before your face and entire biography is picked up and logged by an AI facial recognition hub, which exists everywhere and have blanket coverage.

Make sure to show your son the MalcolmX video https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...BMAB6BAgEEAE&usg=AOvVaw3pSLLajLnw1zE5FHL_p6QA
Malcolm X had a realistic view of US Party Politics but his racial segregationist bent is another matter.
Someone help me understand this mental trainwreck. According to this guy's logic . The white girl is oblivious to the black guy coming up behind her and refuses to change course . So the black guy who knows he is on a collision course and refuses to change his course winds up hitting her and he feels its her fault . I am literally banging my head into a wall trying to understand.
So when I'm driving black , do I get to rear end vehicles that refuse to get out of my way because they refuse to change course ?

A video packed with irony... He seems like a genuinely nice guy. Which makes his case of learned helplessness all the more disheartening. Gaining celebrity via the public display of spiritual beggary is what makes this guy a meme about what is so fucked up about western culture right now.
My advice to him is to immediately exorcise his current set of friends from his frontal cortex and pay attention to people who offer a set of uncomfortable truths about standing on your own two feet, which I am sure he is capable of. Only if.
I'd like to have an uncomfortable conversation with Emmanuel Acho.
It won't be uncomfortable for me tho.

@Blutroop and @Forgetful Coyote : Shit, I am glad I ain't the only one who participated in "shenanigans" in junior high and high school...Fuck being unarmed. I have never trusted or allowed my sense of safety to rest on somebody else's watch either... But I think the one thing that redpilled me to the very maximum was the horrific Christian-Newsom murders in 2007. After that happened, I have never went unarmed anywhere and have developed the mindset that if I feel that I am going to be abducted or taken somewhere, I am automatically going to assume that I am not going to live through this, and start dropping motherfucking bodies right there on the spot. Scumbags will have to kill me right there, after I had taken at least 1 or more of them with me. Fuck that shit.
Edit: Beer o' clock spelling and shit...
You left out Falun Gong adherents.
Their media propaganda (I call all media these days propaganda - everyone is strapped) "Epoch Times" has been on point with our election.
My boss is a subscriber and he has been passing Epoch Times to me.
The news is good and the lifestyle articles are also pretty good.
Unsure why Falun Gong is a threat to CCCP. Seems to be about personal wellness.
Guess that could be threatening to tyrants if you can get your own personal wellness and not rely on the state to provide it.
Well , after reading the comments section on YouTube, it seems you guys are in the minority and everyone is in support of him.
Only because YouTube deleted most of the negative comments.
shit, really? OK, I completely take back everything I said. YouTube comments must be right....
what do they say about anal beads... I've been on the fence and The German hasn't posted a review/rant about them yet so I've no fucking idea...!
This is part of a 10 part series the author is writing for WaPo:
Complimenting appearance of female = sexual harassment
Complimenting financial success of minority = microaggression racism of lowered expectations
Minding your own business and not talking to anyone = Priceless
Complimenting financial success of minority = microaggression racism of lowered expectations
Minding your own business and not talking to anyone = Priceless
It must suck to go through life with a chip on your shoulder. You let everyone around you take your happiness. In the end that's all we get to control, why give it away?
Had racial bias training at work.
Every scenario was "You see a black man doing X."
Followed by "Come on guys, you know what you were thinking..."
No we were not and it was offensive to suggest it.
Skip Gates made an assumption.
He was wrong but he was made a hero despite his bias.
In the 1950's and 1960's, my parents were separated, and my Elder Brothers and I took turns living for several weeks at a time with our Grandparents in the Bronx and Queens, NYC. When in Queens, I lived in Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, a neighborhood in Queens borough of NYC. In the Bronx, I lived at 167th St and Findley Ave, and at 180th St and University Ave. These were mixing pot neighborhoods, and we children, as young as five, myself, ran free and played until the street lights came one each night. We would trek the few blocks North to Van Cortlandt park, play baseball, and play stickball in the city streets. If there was a crime of violence, it never came to the children's attention. We felt, and were, safer then than we could be in any part of NYC today as adults. We rode the subways alone in our pre-teens. We knew there was something called drugs, but we never saw or understood what they were.
My friends were usually colored or Orthodox Jews. The white gentiles, like myself, were a tiny minority. We were all friends and neighbor kids, there was no segregation or discrimination.
Things changed when the Vietnam War became the daily topic and the Socialist agitators began harassing anyone who wasn't directly of their fold. They began as the no nukers, and moved on to become outright socialist agitators. They were mostly ignored, and it drove them to frenzies.
I can tell you from my own direct experience that the so-called White atrocities of the 60's were perpetrated by the white Liberal Socialist college agitators from Fordham and NYU. My older Brothers attended those colleges, and eventually joined the Army to get away from their incessant BS. In no small part, their experiences in college drove my own lack of desire to attend college myself.
