“Where was the beginning of the (slave) supply chain?” she queried Lemon. And then she schooled him. “It was in Africa,” referencing the inconvenient truth that it was African royalty that enslaved black Africans, turning them over to Western middlemen in exchange for princely sums. Should the descendants of these kings be made to cough up reparations to the descendants of the people they enslaved? It would certainly be fairer than “asking” the descendants of the people who fought and died to free those slaves -- and to end slavery, as an institution -- to hand over money to the descendants of the people they helped to free.

Use of the wheel in northern africa dates back 2000+ years BC. The entirety of sub-saharan africa did not adopt usage of the wheel until the 1860s.

Only 5% of all slaves brought to the Americas came to the US. The other 95% went to Central America South America and the Caribbean. Why do the blacks in those places never cry for reparations?

Answer: No liberals pushing their racist agenda.

Yeah, this was a seminal moment.

But, I don’t think the slanderer from CNN let it sink in.

At all.

All these people spending their mental energy trying to figure out who owes them what. If that time and energy was spent on how to provide a service or product to the rest of humanity, they would be a lot better off.

Every black person, and more specifically American blacks, owe Americans white people a huge thank you and probably $, without us, they’d be swatting flies from their lip plates while sitting in front of their mud huts stirring their pot of monkey brains.

We liberated black people and attempted to bring them into a civilized way of living they never would’ve come close to achieving without us.

When you look at strife around the world, much, if not most of it, is centered around what someone’s ancestors did to someone else’s ancestors. Too bad we can’t figure out how to stop this.

Although Meghan believes otherwise, Coming to America is a fictional movie
