More conquer story nonsense that needs to be debunked. For the past few hundred years, there has been a widespread myth spread that many Ancient American groups practiced "cannibalism" and "human sacrifice". This overwhelmingly and almost entirely false rumor primarily comes from the atrocity lies pushed by Hernan Cortez and the Spanish Inquisition after successfully defeating the Mesoamerican empire. They constructed entire fake codexes that were written in Latin as "evidence" of this fake story. The rumors then spread to other nations and even Anglo-Saxxon colonists/slaves began spreading false rumors that Americans would eat people in big metal cauldrons (mind you, none of us actually had big metal cauldrons; it was the Europeans who had those). According to their laws, whoever was found practicing cannibalism could be enslaved, so what do you think they did? They used these fake rumors to spread support of both European supremacy and European colonization to wherever else they went ("Africa", Australia, "Asia", Pacific Islands/Hawaii, etc.).
The "human sacrifice" in Mesoamerica was nothing more than depictions of war/public executions. No different than a bloody battle/death penalty.
Cannibalism is pretty rare around the world, especially outside of starvation scenarios. People who actually would have routinely eaten other people would suffer from kuru, a deadly disease that would cause a person's brain to literally eat itself. Your body isn't designed to eat other people, which is why almost no one did it. Time to put this slander to rest.

Yet another example of us being fucking whitewashed out of American history.

Like what I (and 1000gohead) have said before, most of the "Negro" imports to the Colonies/Plantations in the U.S. were Natives of the Caribbean, not West Africans.
