How heartless. It is time we apologized.

Derrick, I'm sorry your own people sold your ancestors into slavery. Do you ever wonder why slave-selling villages on the west coast of Africa were full of Africans who WEREN'T sold into slavery? Ever ponder that little nugget? I'm sorry that you haven't.

I sure agree with you on this one. You never hear them (people like him and African-Americans) acknowledge that it was THEIR own ancestors who sold them into slavery. It was the white man who helped free them. SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET THEIR FACTS STRAIGHT.

That's not totally accurate. We have to look at how slavery was viewed by both the African and the European. The African had POW's that they kept as prisoners. First of all their "slavery" as you called it, was prison. You got a time that you were going to let free and you could even work your way out sooner. Their was no lynchings, no raping of women, no splitting families up, no destroying cultures, no moving groups of people from one land to an entirely different land(continent), no cutting of of limbs(feet, hands and such). Like I said before I can go on and on but it's not my job to educate, damn cats are literate(i hope). And the POW's were just like the prisoners of the North getting caught by the Prisoners of the South in the Civil War--they both were from the United States but they were on two different sides of combat so that wasn't like the enslavement the Europeans perfected. Some may but I no means feel reperations means getting some money, forget your worthless paper money(from the non federal, federal reserve) if it was worth anything you and other counties would not still be raping the natural resources from Africa(oil, diamonds, gold, etc). So before you start running off at the mouth about things you dont understand you may want to check out the dynamics of both situations. And those Africans that were involved in this should've been dealt with by death, but as we believe in Ancient Afrikan spirituality they recieved their punishment, and so will all.
