I blame Donald Trump.
Yep... decades of systemic racism... blame the guy who has been on the scene for 3.5 years. Totally makes sense.

Threads like these seem desperate to ignore that...

Strange.
In fact an entire war was fought to preserve it on US soil, but it was actually much bigger in scope (if not bigger) in several counties throughout the Americas,

Who to blame? You could start with the people who sold the slaves.
BTW, they're still at it.

The biggest threat among African Americans is African Americans.

We often hear of slavery as far as European involvement but those Europeans often got slaves from African slave traders who caught many of those slaves. So do we blame Europeans or Africans?

Found an interesting article about that African involvement.

Slavery was a thing long before America had slaves...I blame everyone involved in slavery including the Africans selling people and Europeans buying the for the American slave trade. These people all died at least 200 years ago.

BLM is a Marxist organization that has no merit.

Mohammad. Created an entire Religion, based on Killing, Slavery, and pedophilia. If Europe learned how to get slaves from Africa, they learned it from Islamists, who are still currently doing it to this day, in places like Mauritania and other areas of North Africa, and they're still doing it in the name of Islam

SATAN....now let's get over it already!




Unless you want to fight existing slavery in Africa, the Middle East and China...then I'm right with you...what's the plan?
