1) This guy was in total denial about a variety of things, not the least of which is the extent of black involvement in the slave trade. Fact is, Europeans did not enslave anyone...they merely purchased people who were already enslaved.
2) This guy didn't seem too lathered about slavery going on in Africa today....wonder why not? (answer: he exploits the history of slavery in America to incite white guilt so that he can get things that he wants from white americans).
3) I am slowly coming to believe that this man's opinions are not anywhere near as rare as I had hoped. Sadly, I think that his opinion is shared by the clear majority of black americans.
4) The more time passes, the more I am inclined to actually believe one major point of his: perhaps things really are as culturally relative as he says they are. Perhaps black children in this country should not be taught about great white men in our past, but rather should be taught whatever the leaders in the black community want to teach them. After all, if you go to any black neighborhood in america, what do the people there really have in common with Europeans such as Washington (or Newton, or Jefferson, or any other European). Maybe we should have our teachings and let them have theirs...it seems to be what they want.
Just a thought
You believe wrongly. But it may be easier for you to want to believe this.
