DUTCH SLAVE TRADE GAME HITS EUROPE.


I can't believe this game.


You won't be able to either.






THE ADVERTISEMENT

"Slave Trade: Travel back in time to the 18th century and witness the horrors of the trans-Atlantic slave trade firsthand. In this episode, you will be working as young slave steward on a ship crossing the Atlantic. You are to serve the captain and be his eyes and ears – reporting any suspicious activities is your duty. But what do you do, when you realize that your own sister has been captured by the slave traders?"
Watch this. You won't believe it
PLAYING HISTORY

This is what happens when you cannot imagine that your great, great, great white grandfather, the slave catcher or slave owner, was as evil as he truly was. This is what happens when you're white and you know your family didn't own slaves but refuse to imagine they participated in slavery by reporting black people for not being as subservient as they should be or reporting and catching runaway slaves for money.

Slavery absolutely would not have worked without the 80-90% of white people who did NOT own slaves.  Believe it. Without the white poor, running away is easy.  And it wasn't easy.

But back to the point...

When you cannot accept reality about terrible ancestors, you tend to think "that's just the way it was back then" and follow up by doing things like: 



1) Making up a game about slavery where a young black girl is captured and caged on a beach, and skip over the part where her parents were killed so the slave catcher could take the black girl.


2) You can make up a game about slavery where a young black boy is captured and put in a position of trust, then make it seem like slavery is about a white man talking harshly to black people and calling them names INSTEAD OF white men that beat black people until their flesh tore and the bone was exposed.  


The scene in the video below looks like an interracial version of Oliver Twist. 


3) You can make up a game about slavery where a young black girl is captured on a beach, and skip over the part where she's not seen as human so the white crew rapes her before she's put in the cage.

4) You can make up a story about slavery where the white people are just bossy and a little mean-spirited with the name calling.

As the author of the piece below says, I can't wait to see THE HOLOCAUST  version of this game.

Please make sure that this "educational game" does not cross the pond and wind up at a school near you.
