I Don't Want This to Get Lost

Because people make the case all of the time for what they know. Only much of what they know is by exclusion.

Exclusion of what was actually happening.

Exclusion of the people that were kidnapped and murdered along the way.

Exclusion of other people in the world who had a voice and vision for the world long before Europe as we know it.

Ok, ok. Deep breath. @sam_kean wrote a piece for @sciencemagazine about how European science was largely made possible by the #slavetrade. Sure. But the LANGUAGE IN THIS PIECE is irresponsible and it hurts!!! A thread...https://t.co/mDBWI2jfAX
