RE: "permanently changed the migration pattern of land sharks"

Is that a reference to Congressman Major Owens saying slave traders threw 200 million Africans into the ocean on the way to the Americas?

Democratic [Congressman Major Owens] from New York City . . . stated in a 1995 speech on the House floor that during the African slave trade more than 200,000,000 people were thrown over the sides of the slave ships which carried them across the Atlantic, permanently disrupting the ecology and causing sharks to follow any and all ships since the trade was stopped in the 1850's. This figure worked out to be 152 slaves taken aboard nine ships per day for 200 years to get the total amount of slaves thrown overboard. After reworking his absurd figure down to 100,000,000 slaves, Owens' claim was picked up by ABC News, which reported the claim as "fact".

Another example of now some blacks take advantage of Black Privilege and have total disregard for facts. MSM employees back Black Privilege 100 percent.

These fools risk having young Americans within another generation that don’t even believe slavery existed. They should stick with the truth (which was bad enough); exaggerating/distorting history makes it ALL a lie in many minds...

Yes.

So many white men died to free the slaves that it permanently changed the nesting habits of vultures in the South.
