Slavery has been around forever. It was invented by black people.

Black people owned slaves in Africa. They still own slaves in large portions of it.

Black people owned slaves in the United States. They did up until slavery was illegal.

But for some reason it’s only considered a crime when white people do it.

Yeah. Getting ready to start college. That’s why he really needed those Swisher Sweet cigars he stole from the... LIBERATED from the convenience store, and shoved that little clerk... REMOVED FROM HIS PATH that little clerk who tried to prevent him from stealing... REMOVING the cigars. Yeah, it’s a tragedy.

Meanwhile, in Missouri today, African-American drivers are the targets of 92% of vehicle searched by police.

Color me highly skeptical of this statistic.

Black lives in the US. Never in the history of the world has one group of people refuse to fix thier own house but rather blame those who financially support programs to feed, house, clothe, and educate for over 50 years and have not seen a bit of gratitude or improvement but only “you owe me” for slavery that happened and ended 150 years ago. Who are the stupid? Im sick and Im tired fix your house or let it fall to the ground!

I am pretty old, but slavery ended more than 100 years before I was even born. I refuse to be held accountable for something I, nor any known relative of mine known back to the 1500’s ever participated in

And the blacks weren’t the only slaves in America, either. Whites were sold into bondage, too. Altho’ I think it was for a certain, stated period of time.

” because black lives are still imperiled and devalued by a racial calculus and a political arithmetic that were entrenched centuries ago.” and because so many behave like zoo animals! I’m sorry, but it’s true. I feel bad for my Black friends, who are all professionals, and whose children are Engineers and Doctors.

The FIRST slave in America was John Casor, a black man, who was enslave by Anthony Johnson, a black man.

Blacks started slavery in the colonies.

The United States no longer has slavery. However, there is still lots of slavery in Africa. These blacks should go back to Africa and do away with slavery there.

Actually, slavery is still alive and well in Africa. The parts that were civilized are being turned back to black control to the inhabitants demise.

Look at Rhodesia, South Africa and Mozambique.

Common misunderstanding is that the Blacks were there first. Wrong! The blacks followed the Europeans to southern Africa. Now they have taken control with devastating results.

They are burning down their own houses as well.

Well, here’s the deal. Lincoln offered to send any freed slave back to Africa who wanted to go. Some went and founded the county of Liberia. The ancestors of the blacks currently living here chose to stay. That should be the end of the argument.

Anthony Johnson was a black slave owner who was so bad that his slave ran away and begged the neighbor to take him.
Johnson then went to the courts and basically got slavery legal in VA.

Funny how this is never discussed in history , or black history month , or even by the NAACP
