In a recent article, we considered the claims of Brittney Cooper, a professor at Rutgers University. She believes that all "white people," whom she also refers to as "m------------" who are "committed to being villains" — in a word, racists — need to be "taken out."
One of her arguments is that, whenever non-whites try to have a "reckoning" with whites, the latter say, "It's just human nature. If y'all had all of this power, you would have done the same thing," right?
To this, Cooper insists,
No, that's what white humans did, white human beings thought there's a world here and we own it. Prior to them, black and brown people have been sailing across oceans, interacting with each other for centuries without total subjugation, domination and colonialism, right?
This must be the professor's most ignorant of claims — which is saying much — that non-whites somehow behaved with more tolerance and civility whenever they landed on the shores of others.
While we don't necessarily have historical records of black sub-Saharans "sailing across oceans," we do know that they savagely warred on and enslaved one another. It is enough to point out that, as Michael Omolewa, a Nigerian diplomat, once did:
[T]he bulk of the supply [of African slaves sold to Europeans] came from the Nigerians. These Nigerian middlemen moved to the interior where they captured other Nigerians who belonged to other communities. ... Many Nigerian middlemen began to depend totally on the slave trade and neglected every other business and occupation. The result was that when the trade was abolished [by England in 1807] these Nigerians began to protest. As years went by and the trade collapsed such Nigerians lost their sources of income and became impoverished.

IOW, another racist liar is permitted to 'teach'.
What this teacher says is so eFFING wrong, it boggles the mind. Where does she think the white ship owners gathered the slaves?—from African rulers who had captured them, enslaved them and sold them. Not to mention they had been using slaves well before the white men developed that particular market.
The whites didn’t want to even get close to the African shore, because of insect-borne diseases like malaria. The slaves were brought out to the ships by Africans.
Taht racist professor knows he’s lying.
RE: Taht racist professor knows he’s lying.
That’s a “she” my friend. But in today’s gender confused world, I’m not sure anymore.
OK, I stand corrected:
That racist professor knows it’s lying.
“she also refers to as “m——————”
seems she is lacking in basic spelling ability, she only got the m in the word.
also lacking in education that blacks had slaves too.
Thanks! Interesting.

Should read:
In the USA, the average slave lived 30 years. In South America, the average slave lived only 10 years.
That's the spirits!
That black professor can go to Africa right now and buy slaves. It has never stopped.
Guess it doesn’t take much to be a professor nowadays. I spent my life in the trades & believe me, it wasn’t all that profitable. Now I see that I probably could have been a professor & with some effort on my part I could possibly even have made the world a little better place & did it without enslaving anyone.
Of course it would be you nully. :)
Even I had to look it up. Almost impossible to find, I’d seen the movie way back when but couldn’t quite remember.
[T]he bulk of the supply [of African slaves sold to Europeans] came from the Nigerians. These Nigerian middlemen moved to the interior where they captured other Nigerians who belonged to other communities. .In some coastal slave markets, particularly modern-Nigeria, upwards 80% of the interior captives taken for the coast slave market died on the way to the coast. Arab slavers were even worse.
As with most Wokesters, she’s just an attention whore. No one would listen to her if she didn’t spout this foolishness.
Since she seems to hate white people so much, a group of angry white people should go into her office and home and take everything that was invented, developed by, and improved upon, by white people.
Take away her car, telephone, computer — and that is just for starters.....
