Only 'White People' Ever Enslaved Others, Says Black Professor

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.

The professor has evidently never heard of Moses and the enslavement of the Israelites by the pharaoh. Before emancipation, American slaves were well aware of that story, which they could relate to in terms of their own wish for freedom. Of course Afro-centrists today claim that the Egyptians were black Africans.

The village where my ancestors lived was raided more than once by Turkish pirates who enslaved as many people as they managed to capture--possibly some were my ancestors (if they had children who didn't get captured), and probably all of them were some sort of relatives.

No, the first slave owner in America was an Indian ( aka Native American). For instance Great Slave Lake was named for a tribe that were enslaved who lived south of it, something like “they make good slaves”.

POWs were slaves through most of time. In Japanese chess (Shogi) when you take a piece you don’t take it off the table, you instead get to use it yourself.

Obviously this is someone who is clueless about slavery. Maybe the wizard of Oz gave her a diploma.

Language Warning: I took out some profanity in the text, but never listened to the audio so proceed at your own risk.

Sick *****. Sadly this happens every day, all around the world CHILDREN IN BAGS FOUND FOR SALE IN CONGO!
In the Congo, women carrying children in sacks were stopped. They claimed that the children were in the bags because they were being punished for some reason, but the people who opened them believe they wanted to sell them.

It is absurd that the buying or selling of children in Congo is not punished. The country is a paradise for child traffickers.

Supposedly the Africans on the slave ships bound for the New World expected to be eaten when they arrived. What could have given them such a notion?

Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca and the other three survivors of the Narvaez expedition were shipwrecked on the coast of Texas (near present-day Galveston) and were slaves of the local Indians for several years before they managed to escape.

One of the four was a North African who is described as black. Once heard Henry Louis Gates talking about him as if he was the leader of the expedition.
