Why isn't the Democrat party and their house mouths the NAACP, Sharpton, Jackson, Black Panthers and the black populace demonstrating in front of Muslim Mosques,and the African Embassy demanding justice and reparations for their roles in enslaving black people?
If it wasn't for black enslaving their fellow blacks in Africa to be sold into slavery on white Democrat cotton plantations most of the blacks in the USA would not be here today.
Slavery existed in Africa tribes;lowest caste in some tribes were born and lived as slaves servants in Black households.
Black merchants owned slaves used them for carrying heavy loads through the forest and savannah.
White European slave trading companies carried out their slave collecting in western Africa in the areas of Senegal, Gambia, the Gold Coast, the Niger delta,Congo and Angola.
Captains of slave ships bought Black slaves from Black African tribal chiefs in exchange for shells.
Black Africans Chieftains had slave catchers raid villages and captured the residents who they sold to white slave traders who sold them in the USA to Democrat plantation owners.
Blacks captured during inter-tribal warfare and raids with their Black neighbors were sold to European slave traders.
Blacks captured far inland were marched to the coast to be sold to the Whites; 2 slaves were chained together with a Y-shaped stick with the fork round the neck of the slave walking in front and the end resting on the neck of the slave walking behind,groups of 4 were tied with a rope.
Muslim Arabs hunted, enslaved, tortured and killed ethnic Africans for a millennium. Middle Eastern Muslim Arabs have a history of over 1400 years of human slavery, which even continues today in the Middle East. Arab Muslims controlled, maintained, initiated slavery of ethnic Africans. Islams Arab prophet Muhammad himself brought, kept and sold African slaves.
Not to burst your bubble.
Initially people were brought over as indentured servants, who after a specific number of years were required to be freed. This changed when a Black man, inherited some indentured servants, and then after the required time, refused to grant them their freedom, and after a court battle, became America's first slave owner.
Slavery in the USA was not even racial. It was matrilineal. You were only a slave if your mother was a slave. There were slaves of all races (including even WHITE slaves)
I think a better case of reparations for African Americans can be made using Jim Crow as an example. There are still many Jim Crow survivors. Jim Crow was definitely anti black and racist. In addition the racist one drop rule operated only from 1930 to 1965, and finally abolished in 1967. The one drop rule did a lot of damage to U.S. American society as well as to African Americans.
However if AAs get reparations that means the governments and whites hands are tied and there is no room for AAs to complain about and blame others for their own ****ups.
That's gonna be messy right there since Jim Crow was down south: I don't think any northern states had it since after WW 2. I know that JC went away here in Arizona after about 1952. Too; other people also suffered from some kinds of JC like white Jews, Asians and "brown" Hispanics after the war. Tho white "Hispanics" didn't have to worry about JC like Bull Connor's racist friend, Leander Perez.
