Evo Morales Speaks For the Indiginous Life On Planet Gaia
#21
Senor Mundaca - your history is as biased as your politics.

Howzabout we start with Potosi - the legendary "rich mountain" of silver ore. A physical El Dorado to the rapacious Spanish.

Tens of thousands of indigenous Bolivians were worked to death by the conquistadores in the service of nothing more than European imperialist greed.

When healthy adult Bolivians became scarce (they were mostly dead), the Spanish shipped in African slaves as acémilas humanas. "Human mules."

The, ahem, "enlightened" Europeans worked at least 30,000 African slaves to death as well.

All this was approved as God's Work by the Catholic Church.

Btw I've been to Bolivia three times. It's a uniquely beautiful country.
