He said Ethiopia, no Etretria, however his restaurant says it is Eretraian, so I am assuming that is the part of the country he is from.

Before we met, my wife did a stint with USAID in South Africa. After we met and were married, she seriously tried to get me to go to Namibia. She could make tons more money there as a physician than in the US. And although I think I'd actually love jumping in a Jeep and going out alone into that ancient, sparsely populated desert to explore on foot, I just couldn't wrap my mind around sharing the dunes unarmed with the rogue lions they have running around out there.

Looked like beautiful, beautiful country though.

Do I regret not going? Mixed feelings about it. My wife loved Africa when she was there. And turning our back on the money was difficult.

“a story that has already been falsified at many levels, written and produced by known enemies of America”

This makes me angry about my home state. They put a marker up in Annapolis to “mark where Kunta Kinte landed”. And they have a celebration. What a bunch of garbage.

Remember Mohammad Ali when he got back from Africa from the “rumble in the jungle” in Congo?

One reporter asked him how he liked Africa and the first words out of his mouth were "Thank God my great-great granddaddy boarded that slave ship! It's so good to be back in America!"

I always preferred to call him Cassius Clay.

But, yeah, he was spot on about his great-great-granddaddy.

I hear those Ethiopians are hard to shoot at especially
when they stand side ways.
Hear about the Ethiopian kid who fell into a pool of
alligators?
He ate two before they could get him out.

“African Moslems ran the African slave trade. Moslems would raid a non-moslem village and, after satisfying their lusts for rape and murder, would take the remainder to sell as slaves.”

I know this is true - but what’s a good reference for this fact? I want that book. I want a reputable website with that information. I want to be able to show that to people.

That is possibly one of the most important pieces of information we need to disseminate.

Ethiopia is the only original non-white Christian nation.

There’s plenty more, if you look.

An excerpt from
http://inthenameofallah.org/Islam%20&%20African%20Slave%20Trade.html

From the moment that Muhammad drew his sword to rob and conquer non-Muslims to this very day, Muslims have been taking non-Muslims, and even other black Muslims, as slaves.

Muslims were enslaving black Africans long before any slave ships sailed for the New World. Muslims were taking and making slaves all over the lands they had conquered.

Later, when slave ships were loaded with black slaves, often, a Muslim slave broker had the human cargo all ready to go. American slavers rarely had to go inland into darkest Africa to capture slaves because they were already waiting there, courtesy of many Muslim rulers, and/or slave broker.

In many cases, if the black slaves were not sent to the New World, they were sent to the Mideast to be bought by Arabs; thousands more were sent to India and other parts of the Empire or kept by other black Muslims as slaves.
