How were blacks perceived during the medieval period?

They weren't, since there were none in Europe.
They weren't

There were a few slaves, but they were most likely only regarded as exotic possessions of the uppermost nobility

Not siding with Germany on their ethics, but aren't these practically the same thing? The portrayal of German propaganda in modern media is condemned whilst the same thing is ignored if done is the West?

Yes, that's imperialist propaganda for you. Completely unlike revolutionary communist propaganda of course.

Are you implying that Americans glorify Wilson's actions during WWI?
Protip: they don't
How do we get more guys like edmund wilson, friedrich hayek, camille paglia and raymond aron into the humanities?

As an Irishman I'm deeply hurt and offended by these people claiming my culture as their own.
Jokes aside, Foucault has nothing to do with the picture you posted and the fact that people equate his views with the phenomenon of "SJW"s (I hate that term) is really annoying.
What would you have done differently to make sure the Kaiserreich wins the Great War and takes it's place in the sun, thus avoiding ww2, unless it's against the USSR and the holocaust.
With WW1 tech it was pretty much impossible to win against a similarly powerful force that can also blockade the shit out of you AND will get American help a few years in.
Avoid a general European war in the first place so that the western world doesn't go into decline?

Shoot von Moltke, avoid provoking the United States under any circumstances.
How many of you have experience in the study of classical languages? Latin, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, Aramaic, etc.
Those who have, please share your experiences.
Those who wish to learn may also post.
>>601321
Hebrew's the only one I rigorously studied, but I have a semi-decent grasp of Biblical Aramaic just from its similarity to Hebrew.
Studying Latin rn getting to the point where I can translate old writings

Ask me about the Sumerian language, Third Dynasty of Ur period preferably.
Some quick FAQs:
>Should I learn Sumerian?
Only if you love memorizing patterns and technicalities and incredibly long lists of exceptions to all the rules you thought you were comfortable with
>What can I read in Sumerian?
Here's just about everything: http://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/edition2/etcslbycat.php
>Is it worth it?
No. Learn Babylonian or Akkadian or Aramaic instead.
>Why did you learn it then?
I have a history boner for Sumer, and learning the language gives one some really interesting insights into the character of the people.

American Civil War was not about slavery. Everything youve been taught in public school is a lie
It doesn't really matter although.

lol buttmad? i suppose it was the war of northern aggression, too
ITT: most stupid shit your country did in it's history.
I'll start off with Liberum Veto in Poland.
It allowed other countries to influence our domestic policies and gave way too much power to our nobles.
>>600713
Another claim that liberum huureto was the cause of the decline? When this meme will finally die?
Nope, LV was a symptom. A symptom that a few superrich magnate families became so powerful that they were able to wreck the state.

Is it logically possible to move from Deism to Theism?
To define the terms.
Theism.
>Belief in the existence of a god or gods, specifically of a creator who intervenes in the universe:
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/theism
Deism.
>Belief in the existence of a supreme being, specifically of a creator who does not intervene in the universe.
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/deism
Or, to put it another way, how do you move from vaguely asserting something along the lines of "something can't come from nothing therefore there must be a Prime Mover" to "I know for certain the Creator of the Universe hates bum sex, abortion and looking at boobies".
