They told us it was about civilization. Progress. Democracy. But the truth is, white empires got filthy rich by chaining bodies, stealing land, and calling it “freedom.” Let’s rip the mask off the polite lies they taught in school. This is the raw history. The generational theft. The unholy profits. And yes—let’s drag Trump-the-tangerine-tyrant through the historical mud while we’re at it.
πŸ’° How Slave Owners Got Rich from Suffering Slave owners didn’t just build plantations—they built legacies. They passed down wealth stolen from the backs of Black people who were bought, bred, and broken. They made fortunes off: Free labor: Enslaved Africans harvested cotton, sugar, tobacco—industries that bankrolled the U.S. economy. Human breeding: They raped and sold children for profit. Let that sink in. Banking & insurance: Slave ships and humans were insured. Banks offered slave mortgages. Ivy League money: Harvard, Yale, Princeton—many got rich from slavery investments. πŸ”— Transatlantic Slave Trade: The largest forced migration in history. Millions shipped. Millions died. Millions made off it. But go ahead, Trumpy McFakeTan, tell us again how America was always great.
πŸ”₯ The Holocaust (Shoah): Profiting from Genocide Let’s be clear: The Holocaust was horror. But behind the horror? Profit. Nazis confiscated Jewish assets: homes, businesses, bank accounts. Forced labor in camps powered German industry. Siemens, BMW, and IG Farben all got a cut. Even gold teeth, hair, and ashes were repurposed for war gain. Germany didn’t just kill Jews—they looted them. But Trumpelstiltskin wants to talk about “rigged elections” while ignoring actual historic theft.
πŸͺΆ Native American Genocide: The Cost of Westward Expansion Genocide wasn’t just bloodshed—it was big business: Stolen land became real estate gold. The Gold Rush? Built on broken treaties and massacred tribes. Railroads and oil lines? Made possible by kicking Natives off sacred land. Boarding schools crushed Native identity to make land grabs easier. This is how America “grew.” Not with courage, but with corpses. But sure, Trump-a-saurus, blame immigrants for your problems.
πŸ‡΅πŸ‡· Puerto Rico: The Colony That’s Still a Colony Puerto Rico is the proof colonization never ended: Sugar plantations made Spain and the U.S. rich while islanders sweated and died. Military exploitation: U.S. used Vieques for bomb testing, leaving cancer in its wake. Corporate shelters: U.S. pharma used Puerto Rico as a tax haven. Modern debt slavery: Hedge funds now rule Puerto Rican policy. And guess what? Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens… but they can’t vote for the Orange-Wigged Oompa Loompa in chief. Colonization, much? White wealth wasn’t built—it was stolen. Blood, sweat, genocide, and stolen futures made the Western empire rich. From Black bodies in chains to Indigenous bones beneath luxury homes, this system isn’t broken—it’s working exactly as designed. So when Trump the Orange Messiah rants about “saving America,” remember—he’s just trying to keep the blood-money flowing.
They told us it was about civilization. Progress. Democracy. But here’s the cold truth: white empires got filthy rich by chaining human beings, stealing entire continents, and then having the audacity to call it “freedom.” You want real history? Sit down and listen, because I’m not here to debate—I said what I said. Let’s talk about how the foundation of America was poured with blood. Slave owners didn’t just grow crops—they grew dynasties. They passed down blood money from the backs of Black men and women who were bought, bred, raped, and broken. Enslaved Africans worked for free to build cotton, sugar, and tobacco industries that bankrolled the U.S. economy—while their captors laughed all the way to the bank. LITERALLY. Banks insured slave ships. Ivy League schools like Harvard and Yale got fat off investments in slavery. Even children were sold like livestock. This wasn’t “freedom.” This was torture with a business plan. And before you throw “but America was always great” at me—save it, Trumpy McFakeTan. You’re idolizing a country that got rich off the suffering of millions. Let’s move to Nazi Germany, since y’all love talking about oppression—unless it's your own government doing it. The Holocaust wasn’t just about mass murder—it was PROFIT. Nazis didn’t just kill Jews, they LOOTED them. Their homes, their businesses, their identities. Forced labor ran German industry, and even human remains—gold teeth, hair, ashes—were recycled into war goods. And some of those same corporations are still running today. But Trumpelstiltskin wants to scream about “rigged elections” while ignoring real, historical theft that makes voter fraud look like child’s play. Native Americans? Let’s talk business, not just bloodshed. The stolen land you’re standing on? It became real estate gold. The Gold Rush? Built on the broken backs of massacred tribes. Railroads? Built by forcing Indigenous people off sacred land. Boarding schools? Cultural genocide. And that’s what made American “progress” possible. Let that marinate before you shout “build the wall.” Puerto Rico is STILL a colony. Sugar plantations made Spain and the U.S. rich. The U.S. dropped bombs on Vieques and left a cancer crisis behind. U.S. pharmaceutical giants used Puerto Rico as a tax haven. Now, hedge funds call the shots in Puerto Rican politics—and Puerto Ricans still can’t vote for the Orange-Wigged Oompa Loompa you call a “patriot.” That’s not democracy. That’s modern-day colonialism, and y’all are too comfortable ignoring it. White wealth wasn’t earned—it was looted. And Trump? He’s just another con man trying to keep the theft going. He rants about “saving America” while standing on graves, pretending he’s some God-fearing savior. Nah. He’s just desperate. Desperate enough to start quoting God like a hostage note because impeachment’s knocking, indictments are piling, and the lies are unraveling. He’s mocking God. And God will not be mocked. This devil is using religion like camouflage, hoping the weak-minded will fall for the same trick twice. Not me. Not us. We’re watching. We’re remembering. We’re fighting even HARDER. I don’t care if this ruffles feathers. I don’t care who gets uncomfortable. This is the TRUTH. And if you don’t like it, you’re free to scroll away—but I won’t be debating you. This isn’t a debate. This is a reckoning. So go ahead, Trump cultists—cry about “stolen elections” while ignoring centuries of stolen land, lives, labor, and legacy. But next time you storm Walmart in camo, at least bring a history book. Let that sink in. I said what I said.
Like what you read? Don’t scroll past it. SHARE it. TAG someone who needs to wake up. COMMENT your thoughts. Let’s disrupt the narrative and flip the script. This isn’t just history—it’s a reckoning. Hilarious Trump Mocking Outro: And for all the Trump cultists still crying about “stolen elections”—try learning actual history before you storm another Walmart in camo and call it patriotism.
