Yeah...the democrats keep bitching about reparations for slavery for people who were never slaves in order to punish people who never owned slaves.....
this article points out why they should be careful what they ask for...because the truth about slavery is not what the democrats want....
Keeping in mind.....if blacks want reparations....they really need to sue the democrat party......the members of that party having actually been the slave owners....
Blog: Why we should welcome a real trial about slave reparations
The legal discovery that would accompany any slave reparations trial would have and make public that the Ottoman Empire kept “slave armies.” Note that we are now talking about Muslims or the ancestors of Muslims being responsible for not only the beginnings of slavery, but also for the word “slave” itself. Think of how much American students might have to be forced to learn. In the 1970s, there was a wildly popular TV miniseries called Roots, in which the story of Alex Haley’s supposed ancestors came to this country. Forgetting the fact that Mr. Haley was forced to admit he plagiarized the entire story, and that the story Mr. Haley told never could have occurred as it was told in the miniseries, many people today actually believe that Roots and the story told was an accurate historical account – especially the part about how Kunta Kinte was captured by whites, aka Christians. In actuality, the overwhelming majority of slave trading was done through Muslim slave traders. And African nations profited off selling their “black brothers and sisters.” The Nyamwezi tribe of modern day Tanzania helped to establish a slave pipeline that started in Angola.
The Dahomey (now Benin) nation rulers profited off the slave trade. In the 1840s, King Gezo said he would “do anything the British would want apart from giving up the slave trade.” We haven’t even touched on the number of African-Americans who not only owned but also traded slaves. One of the more famous of the black plantation owners was Nicolas Metoyer, who along with his family owned over 200 slaves.
And how about the African-Americans who owned white slaves? Think this didn’t occur? In the late 1600s through early 1700s, black males were buying indentured servants (usually white) for their farms.
If you want to have a real debate about race relations in the USA, as all liberals say they want to have, great, let’s bring it on. Talk about slavery throughout history, and how Muslims profited off the slave trade as much if not more than did Christians. How blacks have sold their own “brothers and sisters” into slavery. We as Americans should and need to stop being afraid of offending someone, and teach real and true history. Who knows, maybe it would get some of our youngsters to start appreciating their country again? And who knows? Maybe, just maybe, the Israelis would get a nice reparations check from Egypt and other Arab nations.
