Slavery only existed in America for 89 years. Prior to 1776 that was Great Britain slavery.
Tired of this getting glossed over.
The people pretending to be aggrieved by 1619 slavery do not give a hoot about real 2021 slavery, and frequently they enable it.
When the Arabs and any American blacks with genetic ties to slave trading tribes apologize for slavery first, I’ll possibly consider apologizing were there any gentic ties of my own (there are not).
Anytime one wants to begin the reparations conversation, I am always first to say fine, here is your boat and or plane ticket to your country of origin. Your choice. Live here where since the end of slavery in 1865 slavery has been not lawful. Since then the country has tried its best to even the playing field. So the choice as a free person is stay and shut the hell up or go to where you think your lot in life would be better. One proviso, you cannot come back if you go.
I am beyond tired of hearing of this crap especially since none of my ancestors owned or were slaves at any time in recorded history, here or in our country of origin.
So, to extend the revealed truth to its conclusion, Democrat hypocrites are complicit with both domestic and international slavery through their ideology and their actions. Ignorance is the driving force among the weak minded purveyors of CRT. Prove me wrong.
I think good reparations would be to put blacks on free, one way flights to Liberia.
No Honkies there, problem solved.
Reparations?
I’LL give ya reparations!
Here’s a free trip to the land where your ancestors were caught, and enslaved. Feel free to hunt down the descendants of their captors, and settle the old family score by whatever means you choose.
Come on back when you’ve got it all outta your system. If you survive, that is.
Oh, and another thing...
Your choice is between this offer and NOTHING, and only for a limited time.
The book THE DEFEAT OF JOHN HAWKINS by Rayner Unwin, gives us a good look at the African slave trade.

If you wanted slaves all you had to do was sail to Dahomey in West Africa.
The Dahomeans revelled in capturing slaves from weaker tribes and would trade them for cheap firearms and alcohol.
The slave pens of Dahomey filled on a yearly basis, and any slaves not sold by a certain date were put to a grisly death in Dahomean religious ceremonies.
In fact any african-american of west african origin is likely descended from a Dahomean slave saved from execution by a slave trader.
Of course I am ineligible for reparations since my ancestors came to America wearing chains - but on English convict ships.
Was it Speke who bought a Blonde Circassion slave in order to save her from the muslims and he ended up wedding her? I recall that from a book I once read about him and Burton.
