It baffles me how there is no mention of the Africans that kidnapped and/or captured other Africans and sold them as slaves at various auctions in Africa.

It seems that liability and responsibility for the enslavement starts with and belongs to other Africans.

It is a very complicated history but needs to be addressed and clarified before we even start to talk about reparations.

When you look at this thing properly as a money grab, it is clear why they don't blame them. They have no money to grab.

It is about money. It was always about money. It was about money in 1861, and it is still about money today.

Many, or most, of those African slave kidnappers and sellers did so under the authority of Islam.

It likewise baffles me how nobody mentions how our Founders fought against The Empire prior to Independence to try to put a stop to some of this slaving, and were met with the veto pen from the crown.

If these people want reparations, tell them to go demand it from current day Britain, as well as current day African countries.
