And I said, way back, if you want to do reparations, let's start from the source of the problem - Africa, who sold her own people. (Talk about an 'inconvenient truth'.)

Thank you for your insight and speaking out.

These critical journalists might consider seeking an interview the recent owners of Houma House Plantation located on the "Mississippi River Road", south of Baton Rouge, about midway to New Orleans.

They, including the African Americans employed there conducting factual historical tours, have been working toward breaking the slavery myths in the New Orleans/Baton Rouge areas.

When we toured the Plantation in 2008, they explained these ongoing studies had uncovered, prior to the Civil War, there were more area plantation owners of African American descent than "white", and were in fact, enslaving their own race.

Don't hear much about that from the popcorn media.

As for "American slavery is the greatest crime in world history" accusations, I would say, open a factual history book, along with the some sound slave narratives, and read it.

Nearly every race has been a slave or a slave owner at some point in their history, either suffering and inflecting great crimes against humanity. Some, on a wide scale, had experienced such prolong abuse it would make the majority of American slaves look like they were seated in royalty.

Might want to ask some of the those still starving in Africa who, in the long run, got the best deal.

I haven't heard of this. This sounds promising, maybe like a small leak starting in the dike?

Wish I weren't a retired ole great-granny - I might be tempted to go on down there, wearing my old investigative reporter hat.

(there used to be a breed of reporters that actually did their own investigative reporting. These days, 'reporters' get their news like car designers - instead of doing their own work, they steal from their competitors...and THEY are now slipping into just waiting for their talking points delivered from on high. (Amazing how fast the talking points get regurgitated from every MainSllimeMedia outlet)
