When will muslim countries appologize dor hundreds of years of white slavery?

Maybe we should just keep killing the modern day barbary pirates instead.

News at 11. An irrelevant person makes a pandering statement. Once again the media fawns over a meaningless gesture.

In July 2021, there were 731,444 people reported to be of African ancestry (4.18%, of a total population of 17,475,415 people).

Hardly seems worthwhile. How many came in recent years? Probably less then 1 percent are affected at all.

A Dutch ship brought the first Africans to Jamestown in 1619, but slaves had been imported to the New World for more than a century before that by the Spanish and Portuguese...and some Englishmen were involved too. Meanwhile European Christians were frequently being enslaved by Muslims during the same period.

If he owned slaves, an apology was warranted. But you can’t apologize for something someone else did.

“Someone just slammed into my car and ran off.” “Well I apologize.” You can be sorry it happened, but you can’t apologize.

Celebrate the end of slavery and West’s role in ABOLISHING the slave trade (which the West at one time did indeed participate in, but did not start - but was instrumental in ending it).

Dude, that was centuries ago...you don’t have to apologize. Maybe you should apologize though for settling Manhattan! Should have left it an unpopulated island for all the grief it’s caused.

2023 - 160 = 1863, or the same year we did by presidential proclamation. Although it took nearly three years to complete the abolition.

The last three states were it was practiced were all Union States. Who can name them?

Hey King,
Africans plundered, pillaged and enslaved Europeans for hundreds of years before Europeans enslaved Africans.
