Ask yourself this: In all of the gazillions of lectures and tirades (there have, as to date, been no genuine conversations) on slavery, have you ever heard of the names of John Currantee and Ephraim Robin John?
Such names—and there are many, many more—belong to a racially incorrect history of slavery, an historical account that threatens to rip asunder the ideological foundations of the Racism-Industrial-Complex (RIC), or Big Racism.
For centuries and centuries, courtesy of both Arabs and its indigenous peoples, slavery was endemic throughout the continent of Africa. Contrary to what contemporary mythical portraits like Roots would have us think, when Europeans began enslaving Africans in the 16th century, they—unlike Arabs—would not invade villages to obtain slaves. Rather, they would have to trade with the African flesh peddlers.
John Currantee, of the Fante people, was one such “caboceer” or trader. Ephraim Robin John, who the Europeans called “King George,” was another. The latter was the leader of the Efik people. Both had reputations for being particularly “canny and ruthless dealers” of human beings.

But there’s also a huge contingent of demons behind the scene. Spoken of in the bible in Ephesians 6 and elsewhere. They have never died. They keep on looking for openings to operate.
Jesus Christ is truly the only Way that can put paid to these depredations. If we could cause every Muslim to physically evaporate from the world, the demons would by no means be displaced from the world. They’d be back at us, seeding some other world folly.
Do not need to go that far back. Obama has family members alive today who trade in slaves.
Park and Foxwell were 2 intrepid explorers from GB, both direct ancestors, who penetrated darkest Africa in the mid 1800’s and earlier.

My mother used to give me Castoriums in the ‘50’s. I think it was to make me shiite.
They ought to pay us Northerners for fighting to free them. Our family lost people fighting for the North.
What's so hard to understand?
The progeny of those former slaves are infinitely better off than their ancestors.
What's to apologize for?
