Not to mention reparation to families of Confederate soldiers because the South gave freedom to the blacks before the Union offered it.
(elimination of slavery was a worldwide socio-economic political trend over a 60 year period from about 1830-1890)
Isn’t it ironic that Islam ushered slavery into the modern world, and now American Black Muslims are affronted by their roots?
The national debt pretty much matches what’s been spent on welfare since the 1960s. To put it another way, we’ve paid reparations, over and over and over (and are still paying).
It is not our fault that the money is blown by the recipients.
Exactly
I never bought or sold anyone....neither did my parents...or grandparents....or great-grandparents....or great-great- grandparents ....or..............
How about asking for reparations from the Muslims who channeled and sold many slaves to the New world? In some Arab/Muslim countries slavery is still ok.
Very good!
“Estimates by Patrick Manning are that about 12 million slaves entered the Atlantic trade between the 16th and 19th century, but about 1.5 million died on board ship. About 10.5 million slaves arrived in the Americas. Besides the slaves who died on the Middle Passage, more Africans likely died during the slave raids in Africa and forced marches to ports. Manning estimates that 4 million died inside Africa after capture, and many more died young. Manning’s estimate covers the 12 million who were originally destined for the Atlantic, as well as the 6 million destined for Asian slave markets and the 8 million destined for African markets.”

Well, if a genuine tragedy involving sending 12 million persons into perpetual bondage isn’t big enough, make the number bigger by say, over 1000%!! Also, a large percentage of the 10.5 million that survived the “Middle Passage” were sent to sugar plantations the Caribbean and South America. That was a another, further, special Hell inside the larger Hell of slavery. The number actually ending up in North America was much lower. So the percentage of exaggeration is actually higher!
Nothing lends credibility to your already shaky argument like outright lying.
Although unmentioned in the article, but, from the photograph, looks like security is being provided by the Fruits of Islam, the enforcers for the Nation of Islam. It’s Newark, so that would make sense.
Give ‘em a chip off a pyramid.
I’m surprised “Bareback” Jackson wasn’t in the march.
Didn’t a bunch of African tribes and Muslims do the staeling?. Well in any event to speak to any Americans involved apply at your local graveyard.
Reparations groups were silent all through the 0bama years. How come they are popping up now?
The blood of white men was shed that blacks might be free.
slaves received 40 acres and a mule.
The bill has been paid.
These negros sure are good for a laugh once in a while.
Tax payers are slaves of the governments.
You’re right. Africans - blacks - were heavily involved in the slave trade. IIRC, one of the wealthiest people here was a black slave trader.
Still got the slave mentality - “Takes care of me Massah - please don’ hurts me Massah. I be gunning fo yo white ass but yo needs a gib me gib me gib me even when ah don’ do nuttin fo it. Ah renounce you as my massah but I wants yo to supply me mah ebry need.
When their ancestors were taken from Africa most were captured and sold to Europeans by other Africans.
When their ancestors were fighting for their freedom and actually freed all they asked for was the opportunity to live their lives and have their liberty.
150 years later these folks demand some sort of handout?
They are ignorant and a disgrace to their ancestors. Their ancestors were finer people even during ghastly suffering than these wastes of humanity will ever be. Given every opportunity and they still define themselves as victims. Their ancestors would disown them if they could.
You are correct. And muslims are still selling slaves today.
Exactly! We need a Go Fund Me page for blacks in the U.S. who want one-way tickets back to the land from which their ancestors were sold.
