I just finished reading a little of Brazilian slavery. If you've ever heard how horrific slavery was in the US, it was ten times worse in Brazil. The brutality orchestrated by Whites over enslaved Africans as well as the original indigenous natives was simply barbaric. Humans ability to be so inhumane to others for the sake of amassing wealth and power never ceases to astound me.

It's crazy how there was people already in Africa, that were African, selling off their own people for other goods and such to make themselves rich. And then everyone calls out the white people in the slave trade but forget it was the black Africans selling them to the white people. So who do we really blame?

For Pontiac you use a certain slur for N if you use the Phonetic Alphabet. It's a bit hmm ooh shake head. However, I'd like to see the ideas.

I have never heard the Brazil story. Funny I had to come to this site to find out some American history. Disney comics were popular when I was young, many moons ago.

I lived in Japan for 6 years and bought a bunch of Rascal stuff! Had no idea it was from a book. I don’t eat fast food here but KFC in Japan is amazing. Doesn’t feel like you’re eating fast food.

Actually, Brazil isn't the only foreign country that has a population descendants of exiles from the Confederacy. Mexico had quite a number. British Honduras [now Belize] had a large group as well because it was an English-speaking colony. Believe it or not, the Confederate States had considered an alliance with Napoleon III to conquer Mexico and most of the rest of Central and South America. The defeat of the Confederacy, followed by the defeat of the French in Mexico put an end to that idea.

I agree but they weren't exiled they repatriated, huge difference.

Oldsmobile was one of the oldest car companies in the world. Ransom E. Olds founded the company in 1897, and by 1903 it were the top-selling car brand in the U.S. The Model R curved-dash Oldsmobile was the first mass-produced car. It was also the first car to be manufactured on an assembly line (it was a stationary assembly line, while the Model T was made on a moving assembly line that Ford pioneered later). General Motors bought the company in 1908, and from that point on it was a GM brand, until GM shut it down in 2017. Ransom E. Olds was also behind the REO car company. Their best-known vehicle was the REO Speedwagon, from which the band took its name.

Not to mention one of the most iconic cars in film is the Oldsmobile in the Evil Dead movies.

Slavery in the US officially ended with passage of the 13th Amendment, December 6, 1865 , though most slaves were practically freed by the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of the war in spring 1865. In Brazil, slavery officially ended May 13, 1888.

Yes, Disney also owns Marvel publishing. I used to do a lot of work for Marvel, and I had to deal with Disney when it came to contracts and getting paid.

KFC used to be really good back in the day but the quality of the chicken has really changed at least where I live in the U.S. The last time I ordered chicken from there it was so greasy that I ended up tossing most of it in the trash. The cole slaw and the gravy still taste good.

KFC in the USA is absolutely disgusting. It was good back in the 80’s or 90’s but now it’s just nasty. The food is very low quality and it sits around for too long before it gets sold. To add to that, every KFC that I’ve been to in the past 10-15 years has been poorly staffed with dirty looking staff and dirty dining rooms and bathrooms. I avoid KFC at all costs, but I loved them when I was a kid.

I found interesting the Japanese population in Peru. I heard they participate in the festivals from Japan. KFC, when you said the original recipe, is that the non-crispy skin chicken. It has been decades I ate at KFC (in my day, it was called, Kentucky Fried Chicken). I preferred the original recipe. Then later, they introduced the crispy fried chicken, next the bbq sauce chicken. My mom would take out KFC, but got all the side dishes from another local restaurant (it did taste better and fresher, creamier). I would go in and order the sides (take out) and once the order taker asked if we get the KFC chicken then theirs? Yes.

Well, KFC is a major sponsor of domestic cricket in Australia AND New Zealand. They also sponsor the lifesavers in both countries.

Hold up, Chess Pie is NOT Pecan Pie with the pecans!!! 🤨 ✋️ It may be just as sweet but definitely not the same thing! Chess Pie: is a buttery, sweet, custards texture made with cornmeal! *can also add lemon juice to make lemon Chess pie* While Pecan pie: is sweet, gooey closer to a caramel like flavor with the nutty slight crunchiness from the toasted pecans on top! No Cornmeal!

Kinda funny, living in the U.S. where i am the closet KFC is about 10 miles away. Years ago we had one in the town I live in, and about every one nearby. Even funnier when I lived IN Kentucky the area I lived in had 4 McDonald's, 3 Burger Kings, 2 Wendy's, an Arby's, a Carl's Jr's, a number of Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks but 1 lonely KFC!

I had a raccoon that I bottle fed until he got to be too much. He went to live with a family that did it for the state and they knew how to put him back to the wild where he belongs.

Dude. I can't tell you how many times some random video I've been watching mentions food and I end up having it for lunch. Which is weird because ads and commercials never really did that for me. Disney character comics were pretty big in the US in the late 70s early 80s. In the 90s comic like every comic artist went off and started their own company. Comic shops were full of issue #1 each month. Very much overkill.

@Devnet94 9 ай бұрын

I have seen one or two of the old comics at some point in the 90s. I was born in the 80s but had no interest in comic books until the 90s and I am by no means a major comic book collector. If I had found more of the Disney comics, I would have started getting some. My go to's are Archie and Batman comics though X-Men and Sabrina, and now Disney, are on my radar.

Where I live in Massachusetts all our KFC's have closed many years ago. I know of one KFC Taco Bell location that's about a 30-40 minute drive away. KFC was my favorite and my mom and I constantly talk about how much we miss it. We do not have anywhere around us that does good fried chicken. We got a Popeye's a few years back which we were very excited for after watching the commercials for decades, unfortunately it has been a huge disappointment every time we've had it (I've tried it 3 times). They never have the things we see advertised on TV and the prices are always higher than what's advertised. The food isn't even good either, seriously don't get the hype. For awhile after KFC left we had this awesome Jamaican fried chicken place called Crown Chicken, they had fried chicken and a bunch of Jamaican food but I don't think they even lasted 2 years. There are so many restaurants and fast food chains in the rest of the country that we don't have here, we are always the last to get things and most don't survive up here. One good fried chicken place man, that's all I'm asking for, just one.

5:44 man, back in the day, during college, I drove a Buick century. It wasn’t a bad car. It did have a pretty powerful engine and no overdrive so it was easy to get going fast and the engine would be screaming. It eventually (probably because of that) spun a bearing in the engine, then threw the rod when I was taking it to donate to the local community college for their auto mechanics school. 12:03 even in this country, not too many people know that a large number of southerners emigrated to other countries because they truly no longer wanted to be part of the U.S. I know I have cousins in Brazil descended from these disgruntled confederates.

12:02 - The distance between the US and Brazil is geographically about the same as the distance to Europe. It's just south instead of east. :)

Comic books aren’t popular here in general. You’ll get a few eclectic collectors now and then, but even the collector market died in the 90s pretty much. And when they were popular, Disney style most likely could not have competed with the superhero comics very well. Also, South America was a haven refuge for those Nazi officials who escaped the Nuremberg trials. Mengele, for instance, managed to get to Argentina before dying in the 70s.

My local KFCs in the south are down right awful. I don't like KFC. But when I went to Thailand last year, I went with a group of Thai's that see KFC as a luxury, I thought KFC over there was a complete disgrace to my taste buds. But I did enjoy my time there with my Thai friends!

The original Classic Marvel comics back in the day had nothing to do with Disney...now however, yes Disney owns Marvel...which i'm not particularly happy about due to reasons...but yeah...Most people who collect Marvel comics will still buy them, but they were also a more inclusive thing...unless you're a disney adult (person who grew up with Disney being a big thing in your life and it never faded from that) you're not likely to buy Disney comics that are from the cartoons or some itteration of them simply because they are from Disney, what you'd buy them for if at all would be ones of the princess' stories and such, but it'd be for nieces and nephews who would like them and not for yourself as an adult as they are considered "Childish" by a lot of people in the US...Where as Marvel and Capcom hero comics were more targeted towards an older audience from the start, while still hitting the little kids wanting to be heros, so they aren't just for little kids....at least that's the general mindset that i'm aware of in the part of the US that i'm in.
