New York Is Named After A Horrendous Slave Trader
Thomas Phippen | 9:00 PM 08/17/2017

New York, both the city and the state, is named after the house of York and
particularly for James Stuart, then Duke of York, one of the most successful
slavers in colonial American history.

President Donald Trump wondered aloud during a raucous press conference
Tuesday whether the impulse to tear down memorials to leaders of the
Confederacy like Gen. Robert E. Lee would slip into calls to remove
monuments to America's founders, like Thomas Jefferson and George
Washington, both of whom owned slaves.

The memory of slavery is enshrined in the name New York as well as the name
of the nation's capitol, even though both cities have vastly changed from
their christening.

James Stuart conquered the settlements between the Delaware and the
Connecticut rivers from the Dutch in 1664, and the name of the principal
port, New Amsterdam, was promptly changed to honor the new master. James'
brother, King Charles II of England, gave the territory to the duke in
exchange for four beaver pelts annually.

The Duke of York, who later became King James II of England (and James VII
of Scotland), created Britainâ?Ts greatest slave empire known as the Royal
African Company, which transported between 90,000 and 100,000 African slaves
to the Caribbean and American colonies between 1672 and 1689.

King Charles II established the Royal Adventurers company in 1664, which
traded in Africa, and put his younger brother James in charge of the
operation. When the company went into debt, James and the crown dissolved it
and reformed it into the Royal African Company to focus on the continent
full of ivory, gold, and the â?osingle most lucrative commodity,â? slaves,
Hilary McDonald Beckles, now the vice-chancellor of University of the West
Indies, wrote in a 1999 paper for UNESCO.

The Royal African Company, governed by the brother of the king, enjoyed
almost regal power to compete with the Dutch for dominion over Africaâ?Ts
resources and people.

The company established ports along Africaâ?Ts Gold Coast, and â?osoon
became the largest single company involved in the slave trade,â? Beckles
wrote. â?oBetween 1680 and 1700 it supplied some 30,000 Africans to the
Caribbean.â?

â?oSlaves purchased for the Royal African Company of England were branded
â?~DY,â?T Duke of York, after the president of the company,â? Beckles
wrote.

The troublesome namesake of New York did not doom the colony to be marked
forever as pro-slave. New York State passed a law to gradually emancipate
slaves in 1799, following successful abolitionist movements in Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, which outlawed slavery in the
decades after the revolution.

New England states were more willing to abolish slavery in part because it
had become unprofitable by the end of the Revolution. Agricultural life of
the northeast does not require the same amount of labor as harvesting
tobacco or picking cotton, which became the main cash crop of the South.

New York never fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War, though some in
New York flirted with the idea of letting the Union dissolve. Many of the
poor in New York, mainly Irish immigrants, viewed freed slaves as
competition for positions as laborers.

Albany has to go too. James II was also Duke of Albany and that's where
its name came from. It can be called the original Fort Orange named
after the House of Orange-Nassau. Nassua is still Nassau so that's
okay. Let's just change the name back to New Netherland and kick out
everyone not of German or Dutch heritage. I might even be able to go

What happened to "diversity" ? I thought that was such a good thing.
Embrace and celebrate daily. Liberal logic is a flexible thing.


I heard a lady on the radio, didn't catch her name, Katie I think,
British accent.

She reported on several less spectacular (but deadly) terrorist
attacks in the last two or three days in Europe that we have not heard
about here. Then she made a good point.

When one whacko goes jihad and kills some people, that has nothing to
do with Islam, it's just one nut acting on their own.

When one whacko goes nuts and kills people in Charleston, that's not
one person, it's an action of the entire right. Liberal logic is a
flexible thing.

Even then, before even that, how can we ever make up for that $24
worth of beads scam we ran on the poor unsuspecting Indians. Oops,
excuse me, Indigenous Americans.

[sloc...@gmail.com]

The truth of the matter is that nearly every nation/country throughout
has, or does, keep slaves.

And, the Civil war was not fought over the slavery question, per se,
although that was an extremely good excuse to raise a hue and cry.

GAO Weighs In On “Countering Violent Extremism”
By Patrick G. Eddington
Share

The ongoing controversy and litigation over the Trump administration’s
“Muslim ban” has reignited a debate that has raged since the 9/11
attacks: Who commits more domestic terrorism–violent Salafists or
traditional “right wing” extremists? According to a Government
Accountability Office (GAO) report, it’s the latter and by a very wide
margin. From p. 4 of GAO’s report:

Of the 85 violent extremist incidents that resulted in death since
September 12, 2001, far right wing violent extremist groups were
responsible for 62 (73 percent) while radical Islamist violent
extremists were responsible for 23 (27 percent).

But as researchers at the Georgia State recently reported, media
coverage of terrorist incidents makes it seem as if terrorism is
almost exclusively perpetrated by Muslims:

We examined news coverage from LexisNexis Academic and CNN.com for
all terrorist attacks in the United States between 2011 and 2015.
Controlling for target type, fatalities, and being arrested, attacks
by Muslim perpetrators received, on average, 449% more coverage than
other attacks. Given the disproportionate quantity of news coverage
for these attacks, it is no wonder that people are afraid of the
Muslim terrorist. More representative media coverage could help to
bring public perception of terrorism in line with reality.

That incident-media reporting disconnect is matched by another: the
notion that Arab/Muslim-Americans are more susceptible to
radicalization, and thus to becoming terrorists, and that there are a
discreet set of reliable indicators that will tell authorities who is
or is not more likely to become a terrorist.

The same month the Georgia State researchers released their
terrorism-media bias findings, the Brennan Center released a report on
the state of the debate and federal “countering violent extremism”
(CVE) programs. Citing dozens of empirical studies and recognized
experts in the fields of criminology, psychology, and intelligence,
the report states “Extreme or radical views are often assumed to lie
at the heart of terrorism. But evidence shows that the overwhelming
majority of people who hold radical beliefs do not engage in, nor
support, violence.”

With respect to the alleged role of Salafist ideology in motivating
domestic acts of terror, the Brennan Center study quotes the FBI’s own
assessment on the topic:

It is difficult to quantify the degree to which Islamist materials
and ideologues — such as Anwar al-Aulaqi (US Person), Abdullah
e-Faisal, and Feiz Muhammed, all of whom appeal to English-speaking
audiences — played a part in the radicalization of the persons
included in this assessment. … While Internet personalities are often
cited as a source of radicalization, factors outside the scope of this
assessment — such as social environment and personal psychology (how a
person processes both external and internal messaging) — were also
influential.

As for claims that there are a combination of indicators that, if
detected early enough, can tell family, friends, or local authorities
who may be on the path to terrorism, the Brennan Center report uses
the research and conclusions of former CIA officer Marc Sageman to
rebut the notion. “…we still do not know what leads people to engage
in political violence. Attempts to discern a terrorist ‘profile’ or to
model terrorist behavior have failed to yield lasting insights.”

That hasn’t stopped the FBI, via it’s now-infamous “Don’t Be A Puppet”
website, from continuing to peddle the debunked “terrorist profile”
concept. And as the Brennan Center report lays out, the FBI is only
one of a number of federal, state, or local entities using discredited
“terrorist profile” models.

Unfortunately, the Senate and House members who originally requested
that GAO look at federal CVE programs–including Senate Homeland
Security and Government Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) and
ranking member Claire McCaskill (D-MO), along with House Homeland
Security Committee ranking member Bennie Thompson (D-MS)–did not ask
GAO to evaluate the theories and assumptions underlying federal CVE
programs. Accordingly, the audit offers recommendations for tinkering
with programs that discriminatorily and disproportionately target the
Arab/Muslim-American community on the basis of long-since debunked
notions about who and why someone becomes a terrorist.

House and Senate members need to base federal counterterrorism
policies on facts–such as the role U.S. foreign policy in the Arab and
Muslim world plays in fueling terrorism. Members of Congress who want
to win the war of “hearts and minds” vis a vis ISIS need to remember
that our greatest weapon is a strict adherence to constitutional norms
of free association and speech, and that targeting fellow citizens of
Arab descent or the Muslim faith for evidence-free surveillance and
political repression only validates the ISIS narrative that America is
at war with the Muslim and Arab world.

New York was the British colonist name. Before that, it was named Nieww Amsterdam while Holland controlled it. And before that the French had named it New Angouleme.

The first peoples of New York are estimated to have arrived around 10,000 BC. The five nations of the Iroquois League were there right before colonization.

Sigh ... we'll just have to number them I guess. Are
there any 'racist' numbers ? Which gets to be "City
666" ? Vegas ? How about "City 911" ? :-)

Do we start numbering from the east coast or the
west coast ? The sun comes up in the east - but
the sun is really bright white so that might *imply* ...
oh, and there's more "white" people in the north ...
can't have any crypto-racism ya know !

So ... numbered states with numbered cities with
numbered streets and buildings and parks filled
with numbered people. No names for anything
because somehow, some way, somebody will
discover how a name is some sort of "-ist" and
a huge oppressive insult on some poor little group.
