There are qualitative levels of slavery?And if your evil, greedy ancestors hadn't intentionally started fights between the tribes, so that they would take each other as prisoners. And then your evil, greedy ancestors would come buy the prisoners.
Also, the winning tribe who sold the people in the losing tribes had no idea the kind of hellish slavery they were sending those folks into. Slavery in Africa was nothing life the slavery practiced in the USA. Chattel slavery was something only a cruel, hateful mind would think up.
Ya, haven't you seen IM2 claim that black slave holders in the US were JUST enslaving their own family to protect them?There are qualitative levels of slavery?
Who knew?
Your ancestors were illegal immigrants. The Native Americans told me so.Many of the illegal immigrants showing up at our border are from African nations. They risked their lives for the privilege to be a Black American.
The issue IS going away because any white politician that tries to give people who were never slaves money taken from people who never held slaves wouldn't last long enough in office to finish writing the bill. Politicians are sociopaths and the only thing important to them is their power and they know damn well they'd lose it in a heartbeat if they tried to give reparations. You and your few friends are flogging a dead horse and being used by those white sociopath politicians to enhance their power. The sooner you figure out that you are being used the better it will be for you.You may have a point. Because I notice that most White politicians will make a half hearted apology, but stop short of making any promise of reparations. Gov Gavin Newsom of California created a commission to study reparations, but then he backed out of it after the commission stated that "YES" reparations were owed.
It's OK. The issue isn't going away.
Name ANY nation other than the US that does not control their borders and have laws on who can immigrate to their country.Your ancestors were illegal immigrants. The Native Americans told me so.
Mine weren’t. Came through Ellis Island in accordance with the law.Your ancestors were illegal immigrants. The Native Americans told me so.
African tribes were fighting wars and enslaving the survivors long before any white man even set foot on the dark continent.And if your evil, greedy ancestors hadn't intentionally started fights between the tribes, so that they would take each other as prisoners. And then your evil, greedy ancestors would come buy the prisoners.
Also, the winning tribe who sold the people in the losing tribes had no idea the kind of hellish slavery they were sending those folks into. Slavery in Africa was nothing life the slavery practiced in the USA. Chattel slavery was something only a cruel, hateful mind would think up.
Anyone who reads history books would know.There are qualitative levels of slavery?
Who knew?
Must have missed that.Ya, haven't you seen IM2 claim that black slave holders in the US were JUST enslaving their own family to protect them?
Tell that to the slaves.Anyone who reads history books would know.
But, they were not taking the survivors thousands of miles away on ships. The White enslavers did that.African tribes were fighting wars and enslaving the survivors long before any white man even set foot on the dark continent.
I'll tell you too. Seems you don't read much.Tell that to the slaves.
OuchI'll tell you too. Seems you don't read much.
Which makes what the Africans did OK, right?The white controlled slave breeding "industry" IN AMERICA created 10 times more blacks than the number that came from Africans who "sold other Africans".
And it’s still practiced today…….And if your evil, greedy ancestors hadn't intentionally started fights between the tribes, so that they would take each other as prisoners. And then your evil, greedy ancestors would come buy the prisoners.
Also, the winning tribe who sold the people in the losing tribes had no idea the kind of hellish slavery they were sending those folks into. Slavery in Africa was nothing life the slavery practiced in the USA. Chattel slavery was something only a cruel, hateful mind would think up.
That was a different era when America was only a promise for freedom with NO HELP from the government whatsoever. No free food, clothing, shelter, health care or education. You are making a very popular false equivalence.Your ancestors were illegal immigrants. The Native Americans told me so.
Thank you, IM2.If you go to the store you are not forced to buy. You decide to buy. The ancestors of these racists made a choice to buy slaves and so their descendants need to shut up and accept that their ancestors made that evil choice.
But from now on when I read one of these idiots making that comment this is going to happen:
America had every chance not to implement slavery. We are told how the so-called founders of this country created the way to end slavery when they wrote the constitution. Many will cite the fact they made the importation of slaves illegal by 1808 as evidence. But refusing to stop importing slaves did not end the slaving business in the United States. What it produced was an original American industry-slave breeding.
“During the fifty-three years from the prohibition of the African slave trade by federal law in 1808 to the debacle of the Confederate States of America in 1861, the Southern economy depended on the functioning of a slave-breeding industry, of which Virginia was the number-one supplier.”
Ned & Constance Sublette, The American Slave Coast: A History of the Slave-Breeding Industry, Chicago, Lawrence Hill Books, 2016
If America had continued to import slaves, it would have diluted the market, thereby driving down the price of slaves. Slave sellers could not have this. So instead of the truth, we are told that “our nearer to God than thee” founders, in all their benevolent glory, looked towards a future whereby slavery would be no more. According to some, the so-called founders had a dream whereby little black boys and little black girls would no longer be enslaved because of the color of their skin. This is the story we are supposed to believe. However, reality does not show that.
“In fact, most American slaves were not kidnapped on another continent. Though over 12.7 million Africans were forced onto ships to the Western hemisphere, estimates only have 400,000-500,000 landing in present-day America. How then to account for the four million black slaves who were tilling fields in 1860? “The South,” the Sublettes write, “did not only produce tobacco, rice, sugar, and cotton as commodities for sale; it produced people.” Slavers called slave-breeding “natural increase,” but there was nothing natural about producing slaves; it took scientific management. Thomas Jefferson bragged to George Washington that the birth of black children was increasing Virginia’s capital stock by four percent annually.”
Ned & Constance Sublette, The American Slave Coast: A History of the Slave-Breeding Industry, Chicago, Lawrence Hill Books, 2016
“According to database-backed estimates by David Eltis and David Richardson, only about 389,000 kidnapped Africans were disembarked in the ports of the present-day United States, the majority of them before independence.” “By 1860, those few hundred thousand Africans had given way to four million African Americans.”
Ned & Constance Sublette, The American Slave Coast: A History of the Slave -Breeding Industry
According to this information , 389,000 slaves landed on the shores of what is now America. By 1860, there were four million slaves living here. The importation of slaves was made illegal in 1808. So from 1808 until 1860, the number of slaves increased by at least one thousand percent. If we allow for the Africans selling each other, Africans would be responsible for approximately 389 thousand slaves. What about the 3.1-4 million additional slaves? Africans did not create them.
The white controlled slave breeding "industry" IN AMERICA created 10 times more blacks than the number that came from Africans who "sold other Africans".
Did you hear about what happened when Muhammad Ali (Cassuis Clay at the time) first came back to Kentucky after winning his gold medal for boxing in 1960? He went to a Whites only resturant and the waitress told him "We don't serve coloreds here".And it’s still practiced today…….
In Africa.
Man, like Muhammad Ali said when asked what he thought of Africa.
Sure am glad my Granddaddy got on that boat.
