The primary group that “stole and sold” Africans was Africans, followed by Arabs/Muslims, and they were mostly sold to (in order of the most to least) the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Spanish, and the Dutch.

Once they get reparations from those folks, they can talk about the USA. Of course one might make an argument that the cost of the US civil war both in blood and gold, was reparation enough.

One group hates America and one Loves America, which one do you think the media will cover positively?

I’m so sick of these lying a$$holes that want free money.
Get a job, get a life and leave everyone else alone.

The Europeans enslaved you. The Americans freed you. Go take your grievance up with the Europeans.

“There aren’t any slaves or slave owners alive today”

Sure there are, slavery stills exists throughout a lot of the world. Not that these people care about slavery in general, they just want money. It’s one of the more absurd parts of the “conversation” about reparations.

In the minds of the degenerate left, when have actual facts ever meant anything?

Absolutely. I should have made it clear that I was referring to the slave trade in the U.S.

10M is probably way too high. Boats were small back then.

Larry Hamm is most likely a key member of the Workers World Party (WWP). Check out their newspaper “Workers World” and you should find articles in it by him.

Omowale Clay keeps popping up in Marxist groups and demonstrations. He appears to be a professional Marxist/racist agitator.

N/Cobra is an interesting example of the convergence of black racist/reparationist extremists and black Marxists. Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his Holy Trinity Church was deeply involved in N’Cobra and Wright was involved in the Marxist, Communist Party dominated Black Radical Congress meeting of 1998. There should be some information on the BRC at two sites, www.keywiki.org and www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org

N/COBRA was founded by the black Marxist “New Afrikan Peoples Organization (NAPO), a small black extremist group; the Conference of Black Lawyers (i.e. the National Conference of Black Lawyers), a Marxist dominated organization once led by Heywood Burns and Lennox Hinds, both hardcore reds, and was associated with the Soviet/Cuban Havana-based International Association of Jurists and the American Association of Jurists, and by the Republic of New Afrika (Africa) (RNA), a black Marxist separationist organization that wants to create a Marxist black nation out of 5 southern states (an old CPUSA concept). The Chokwe Lumumba’s of Mississippi were/are leaders of this organization.

By the way, the claim that 150 million Africans were kidnapped and sent as slaves to America is pure bullshit. Studies by legitimate black professors, including one at Howard University (I think his name was Adams), showed that the “ship/shipping” capacity of slave ships could NOT have carried that many people to America over the years.

Dr. Adams put this crap to rest when he professionally tore into a black racist agitator at the U.S. Holocaust Museum in the late 1990’s or early 2000’s. The professor had studied and tallied the slave-ship logs from many countries including Portugal and Spain, as well as England, etc. per trip “human traffic”, time spend on the seas to and from America/West Indies, layover time, etc.

The black reparations movement, led in Congress by Communist Party supporter Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich) is nothing but a fraudulent operation, a scam, to get money for employing black Marxists and racists in their many front groups.

N’Cobra itself includes such groups as the National Black United Front, Black Voices for Peace (Damu Smith, a hardcore communist organization, now deceased), Black Radical Congress, NCBL, RNA, Pan-African Roots (one of many front organizations led by Bob Brown, a former associate of Stokely Carmichael (aka Kwame Toure); Center for Constitutional Rights (a CPUSA/Marxist legal organization created by the CPUSA out of their National Lawyers Guild front; Transafrica Forum (once led by Marxist William Fletcher, a man who shows up in many Marxist organizations going back to the late 1980s/early 90s’ including Transactions, possibly Frontline, and the old Guardian newspaper); and the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America, etc.

Former Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga) was a listed speaker at the N’Cobra Annual Conference 2004 (she was a candidate for congress at the time) as was Rep. John Conyers Jr (D-Mich).

Now the WWP is trying to take over the “reparations movement” and get a piece of the money pie.

Forwarded in forearmed.

Reparations have already been paid in blood

My GG-Grandfather sent his sons and sons-in-law to fight his brothers and nephews who stayed in the South.

At Chickamauga, Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and finally at Appomattox, they were there. What was left of them.

Doubt if the ancestors of any of the trash on this street were in the fight.

Interesting info by none other than Skip Gates.

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/african-americans-many-rivers-to-cross/history/how-many-slaves-landed-in-the-us/

Best estimate - 388k slaves came to America.

Sure there are. Go to any Muslim country.
Or pay attention next time a pedophile ring is busted.
Or visit China.

It isn’t a condoned institution in the west, but it isn’t nonexistent either.

Other organizations that participated included the Nation of Islam

Until they acknowledge the seminal role of Islam in the slave trade I won't even dignify this movement by pointing out how stupid it is

‘They stole us, they sold us, they owe us!’

"They" died long ago. And the people referring to themselves as "us" were never stolen or sold - the people who that happened to also died long ago. People who weren't even alive when the crime happened trying to pretend that they are the victims and blaming other people who also weren't alive when the crime happened - pure, unadulterated nonsense.

Don’t owe you lot a penny. We are not in arrears to former slaves.

They’re in pretty good shape for being 150 years old.
