Spear Chugger: Revisiting the Lies

Hey guys I appreciate the corrections. Personally I’ve heard both “Spear Chucker” and “Spear Chugger” (in reference to African warriors). Apologies for the error. I likely observed and now expressed improper terminology.

I find it stomach-churning that becoming technologically better at wiping out more life is what could classify you as a “better” human. We really should be reflective about how we perceive things.

I just wanna say that the amount of skill you need to have to be able to spear an animal is huge

The last part is that the spear is in all but close combat a superior weapon to the sword.

Well the Ancient Greeks had whole regiments made up of spear checkers. In fact Alexander loved them so much he made them longer and put then in formation.

Spears were the oldest and best infantry weapon from time immemorial until the gunpowder age, and well into that period too. Every civilization used them.

Yep a number of ancient and medieval armies used Nubians as auxiliary troops and as mercenaries🏹🏹🏹

Chugging spears sounds like some sort of painful drinking game.

The Irony is, the much vaunted civilization in history, the Kemetian were the spearmen, it was their brother civilization the Ta-Setians who were laterally the Bowmen.

You pretty much covered it! Great job. With that said, I wish I still had the recording of me in grade-school, as a little boy when I gave a class representation of this very topic in my mostly white & asian-Islander school. Back then & now, I gave examples of indigenous African swords, Nubian, Yoruba, Edo, Fon, Akan, etc. That was one way to break the “spear chukker” propaganda (“Africans had no swords” lie). Besides swords AND SPEARS being used in every civilization on earth. So how can spears, be proof of not having civilization.

The term spear chugger can only be used as a defamatory term by someone who doesn’t know military history. The spear was the most widely used projectile weapon in war fare across all continents. It is cheap to manufacture ( which is good since you can easily equip thousands of men ) , it has a good range , any one can be trained relatively quickly to use it ( as compared to a bow and arrow, or a sword), and there are tens of different variations possible. There a rigid spears , flexible spears , retractable spears ( it can be folded in on itself to become a short skewer) , long spears( that allowed you to control the field by keeping your opponent at bay). The Roman army was composed at 2/3 of spear men . That’s how ingenious the weapon, simple and effective. The ignorant use it as an insult, but the knowledgeable sees it as a compliment.

Majority so busy playin spell check detective, they completely missed the lesson. 🥃🥴

All civilizations, armies used spears and they're not giving flack about it. I swear the double standard.

He says chugger on purpose- remember chucker is derogatory and YouTube has an algorithm and policy that could demonetize the video.

Thank you HOME TEAM. Much love to u and your family

I was brought to a reflective pause after reading the media's title. Most of the neighborhood & Elders ( Southern USA) during my growing stages , would referred to( all )hand tossing acts as" chunking".

I remember first hearing that slur on the movie do The Right Thing.

Proud spear chugger here 💪🏾😎 appreciate it bro

Spear Chugging sounds very suspect

I rather have a long spear to defend myself from a lion then a sword back in the day😂
