In a college American History class the professor was lecturing on the Slave Trade. When he got to the part about the Dutch slavers buying the slaves from the conquering tribes the blacks in the class became restless. They started contradicting the professor and saying the white man came on shore and kidnapped the Africans. The professor repeatedly had to correct them and in the end they just sat in the back of the class muttering. It really was an eye opening morning... for everyone in that classroom.

What everyone should know, before supporting the concept of reparations, is that free blacks owned more than 10,000 slaves in Louisiana, Maryland, South Carolina, and Virginia. How do you possibly exclude their offspring from such a program?

If I remember correctly, the opening scene of the mini-series "Roots" depicts white men with nets stalking Africans.
