Alot of American blacks think that islam is their lost “mother” religion when, in fact, arabs have made more slaves out of black than the west ever did through out history AND this slavery still goes on to this DAY (where the west pretty much banned it by 1865)...

What I want to say will get me banned.

Don't confuse democrats/journalists/victimologists with the facts.

When I was in North Africa in 1974 there were still slave markets where black Africans were sold to Arabs.

Yet the Arabs for some reason have no problem accepting a certain Sen. Barak Obama during his recent tour of the ME and Europe.

They still exist, albeit less openly.

[Righting]

Yes, tell it to Sharpton or to Obama...

Yes they do, in Sudan, Mauritanian, Saudi Arabia...

Worse than that. Approximatelly the same number of Black Africans was sold as slaves and transported to the Americas and to the Muslim world.

The slaves transported to the Americas left more than hundred million descendants.

The slaves transported to the Arab countries left almost none ! They were all worked to death.

This genocide of Black Africans in the hands of Muslims is comparable to to the Muslim genocide of Hindus.

I can understand why the WASP Liberals overlook it and why they hide it. They make travesty of the fact that Muslim world was OPPRESSOR FOR 500 years, and oppressed by the West for less than 100.

The fact that many African Americans are also willing accomplice in this travesty of truth is beyond me.

Why some embrace the cult that murdered hundreds of millions of their ancestors escapes logic and sense of dignity.

"Yet the Arabs for some reason have no problem accepting a certain Sen. Barak Obama during his recent tour of the ME and Europe."

That's because Barack Hussien Obama on his trip said; "I want, I want, everyone to like me."

This is a comment he made when he said someone else was going to pick out who got to ask him the questions. He didn't want to look like he was playing favorites.

"negritude"

Is that anything like "caucatude"?

Because their "us against them" worldview leaves little room for logic and reason.

[Sundog]

Middle Easterners have no sense of political correctness. If someone thinks that dark skin is unattractive or if someone dislikes blacks, they have no problem expressing themselves. That said, it’s not hard to see Saudi, Yemeni, Omani, & Gulf Arabs who clearly have black African blood from some ancestor. The least black Arabs are from Sham.

In Arabia, there are two channels devoted to marriage advertisements 24/7. One of the most common criteria that men wanted in a wife was light skin (most common criteria was to be tribal). For women looking for a husband, it was money.

"negritude" was a Trojan horse planted in the 1930s to the African elites in Paris (the same time when Communism was planted to European elites). Negritude elebrated "blackess" in the terms of white aestetics and was engineered to fail, not to liberate Black people and Black art.

The miserable results of post-colonial Africa can be directly traced to the Negritude movement.

It's true; it's actual; everything is satisfactual!
