I would like to add to your thoughts about the history of slavery in America, something that never gets mentioned:
There was no other Road To America for black Africans than the slave ship.
I am NOT condoning slavery. Of course it was a hideous institution and a hold-over from barbaric days and barbaric ways of thought.
And of course no non-Muslim today would ever even THINK of owning another human being.
But the fact remains, if I were a Black American I would thank God for the suffering that my ancestors had to endure, suffering that enabled me to grow up here, in the United States, rather than any of the stink-hole nation-states on the African continent.
Again, I’m not saying slavery was a good thing and of course slave owners didn’t own slaves for the sake of the future welfare of the slaves’ descendents.
But the fact remains, without the historical fact of slavery and the slave trade, Black Americans would have all grown up in horrible stink-holes in Africa.
And by the way, some of those stink-holes are ruled by Arab Muslims who, in fact, HOLD BLACK AFRICAN SLAVES TODAY... a fact ignored by every liberal and leftist on Planet Earth.
