This is an old article that I recently saw. It does not matter as it is timeless.

We practiced slavery for less than a century. What about in other parts of the world.

The whole slavery argument is null and void.

One thing that amazes me is that of 10.7 million slaves that arrived in the New World. Henry Gates says about 388k arrived in what would be America. 425k if you count the few than made it here from Haiti. This was over about 225 years.
That seed has turned into about 37 million African Americans today.

Bush and Obama let in almost 2 million moslems in the 15 years since 911. Our great grandkids will endure the presence of 75-100 million moslems in America.

I suppose you posted an excerpt unless the truths were truly too inconvenient to mention.

Being of Irish descent, I imagine that on several occasions my ancestors were enslaved by Viking raiders.

Each time that happened, a farmer who could have gone on to become a landowning royal was knocked back to being a grunt slave.

If not for those durn Vikings I might be an Irish or British Lord with tens of thousands of hectares of landholdings.

Where are my reparations?

Can't I at least get a moderately sized castle? Maybe one with a moat and a drawbridge?

[Fhios]

40 acres and a mule in Zimbabwe as reparations.

Think about it, it was the Indians who really got screwed over.

Medved is a jackass NEVERTRUMPER

And I could give a rats ass about slavery

Slaves in North America lived longer and under better conditions than those left behind in the Congo or Niger watersheds

That’s the reality

It was brutal times as has most of humanity been

Now slavery is an excuse to act inherently bad.....all over the black world even where there wasn’t slavery

Any excuse for folks who have never caught up and are in decline

White paternalism worked better but naive stupid white freepers who think like Medved just have no experience with it outside of high end exposure at cocktail parties

[DoodleDawg]

THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT TODAY’S AFRICAN-AMERICANS WOULD BE BETTER OFF IF THEIR ANCESTORS HAD REMAINED BEHIND IN AFRICA.

Perhaps. But had you given those ancestors a choice between staying in Africa and being bundled off to be a slave in the Americas then I imagine they would have preferred to stay where they were.

Inconvenient truths #7 & 8

The rise of unions was precipitated by newly freed black slaves who moved north to ply their only honed skill - strong backs for manual labor. White slave-free workplaces unionized to protect their wages and jobs from the onslaught of cheap foreign labor.

Gun control laws began being implemented to keep the democrat klansmen free from retribution from freed blacks.
