'White Awake' group draws backlash at University of Maryland

I would think you would know where the African Slaves came from

"Senegambia, the area comprising the Senegal and Gambia Rivers and the land between them, or today’s Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau and Mali; and west-central Africa, including what is now Angola, Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Gabon. The Gambia River, running from the Atlantic into Africa, was a key waterway for the slave trade; at its height, about one out of every six West African slaves came from this area.


In addition to the nearly 50 percent of the total number of enslaved Africans in the United States from these two regions, a considerable number of slaves had their origins on the so-called Gold Coast or “Slave Coast,” which is now the West African nation of Ghana, as well as neighboring parts of the Windward Coast, now Ivory Coast. Others originated in the Bight of Biafra (including parts of present-day eastern Nigeria and Cameroon), an inlet of the Atlantic on Africa’s western coast that was a hub of extensive slave-dealing operations.

Was it the flag of the United States?

Does that include the United States pre-civil war? Do you celebrate those African countries listed above?

 

People sell themselves into slavery. It happens.
Been married?

 

At least two of them will report each other to the police.

 

Sex slaves would like to weigh in on that.

 

I am conservative but not racist

Unlike you I judge people by the content of their character

Liberals prefer to treat one group differently based on the color of their skin

 

That's not an answer. You said you've seen people celebrating African tribes that sold slaves, provide the details or admit you were lying.

Did it look like it does today?

As I said I celebrate everyone throughout all history who fought for freedom and human dignity for all. You figure out what throughout all of history means and whether that includes the untried states pre civil war.

 

A jury today would not convict the black man

If the escaping slave raped a white women whould a black ghetto jury today send him to jsil?

 

That's not an answer. Why even bother address it if you aren't going to be brave enough to give a response. Now you've just drawn attention to reluctance to give a real answer.

If a slave escaping the Confederate south kills a Confederate trying to apprehend him who's right? Does the slave have a right to defend himself? Does the confederate have a right to retrieve escaping property? Who is morally superior here?

 

I know they were traitors.

They didn't have a country that is why they got their ass kicked and had to surrender, for the sake of bringing the country back together they weren't held accountable for TREASON. They never had a country, that is why there was a war.

 

Yea all those black folks paid to come over in chains in the hold of ships. Smfh.

 

You'd have a better chance finding justice there then in any white ghetto jim crow courthouse in the south. History is pretty clear on that point. As we're finding out with groups like the innocence project a large percentage of those wrongfully convicted of crimes are black.

There were no black slaves in Rome. They were white. They walked there.

When you can no longer feed yourself, you may prefer slavery to starvation.

 

You forgot to ask me about the jim crow south

I answered the question you asked while you failed to answer the question I asked you

 

Well we know that is a lie, they do it everyday.

No racist here folks.

 

Uh we live in America not Rome and I doubt if they were starving before they came here in chains.

 

I gave you an answer its not my fault you don't understand it.

 

That's the royal we.
You live in America.

I have no doubt people living in an African peasant economy were often found to be starving.

Not all slavers were white. Not all slaves were black. Not all slaves were abused.
Sorry to steal your victimhood from you.

 

Why does nearly every discussion about race, even when it's just about what white people are doing, end up with slavery?

 

Sounds good, but in America slaves were black and treated less than human. Stick around you might learn something.

 

Wow. Thank you. I'd never heard that there were black slaves in America thank you for the education. Is that important to anything?



I doubt all American slaves were treated less than human, don't you?

 

Money.

 

Its time for black people to stop complaining about slavery

But its such a handy excuse to explain black failure that they wont give it up

 

By definition slaves are treated less than human genius.

 

I see you are speechless again and have use cartoons to express your opinion

Its really sad that liberals are so lacking in their ability to communicate
