A significant matter is that the only ones considering Sunnis as the true successors of Mohammed as Sunnis. That does not make their position any more valid than that of Shia or any other sect of Islam.

The fact that your argument rests on the implicit assumption that Sunnisim is the right successor makes all your subsequent arguments moot.

Thanks. Have listened some truly amazing history podcasts. But haven’t been able to find any on the Bronze Age collapse.

I should ask in r/HistoryPodcasts or r/History_Podcasts

I wonder if there is a good podcast that delves into the Bronze Age collapse.

America had an interesting view of its Negro population. They were expected to bear all the responsibilities of citizenship with none of the privileges.

As a proportion of their respective populations blacks had a greater proportion drafted into the armed forces in WW1 and WW2 than the white population.

George C. Marshall had such a low opinion of black troops that he said they were only fit for duty on Iceland in the summer.
