    Are you arguing Africans didn't enslave Africans over 1000 years ago?

    Really.....

    If so, then there's nothing else for us to debate. You at least have to have a general idea of what you're talking about, otherwise nothing will ever get accomplished.

    How could they sell them to "non existent " white slavers if "white slavers weren't there when Africans were enslaving eachother" (according to the naysayers)? Don't you read convo context anymore?

    You wouldn't know any because you have as much interest in African history as a white slaver does in truth.

    If you are referring to the Israelites and kemetians then I agree, there was slavery amongst blacks, I'm not arguing there wasnt

    What digging...i found multiple sites in 1 minute, including Wikipedia, that say there has been slavery in Africa long before anyone from EU showed up. And of course, all the animal lords running things there today, trade slaves daily and teach them how to kill their enemies from an early age. They're all slaves because if you cross the masters and disobey, you get shot.

    Nice try, attempting to claim Africans were somehow ABOVE slavery before the white man came....bravo...golf clap. Slave traders sold people to the white guys. I wonder what the native slave traders race was=) White people didn't invent slavery. White people ENDED IT though.

    Who would pay exactly?

    Anecdotally my people settled in North America via Canada. There was never any significant Canadian trade in African slaves.

    While I have no doubt that more than a few ancestors in my past were racists, they categorically had no direct connection with the importation of Africans via the slave trade.

    I'll personally file a class-action counter-suit to any attempt at extorting reparations from those who have no ancestral background in the slave trade.

    It's almost hard to blame the guy claiming there wasn't slavery in Africa before whites arrived on the scene; this is the crap that is being taught in Black Studies courses in universities across the U.S. Heck, it's even being taught in some inner city schools that want to 'empower' black students.

    It's rather frightening, the way leftists are reshaping our history. Expect more and more functionally illiterate and uninformed young people to parrot this stuff for decades..

    Speaking of "jibberish," let me see if I can adequately translate your writing in order to provide a response.

    First, I believe you meant to say gibberish? 'Passd' is passed? Ppl is people? 'Frightenening' is frightening? Is this correct?

    OK, now that we're speaking the same language and not a form of ebonics, who is it that you're claiming as utter frauds? White academia? Not sure if you're simply a racist who lumps white professors teaching engineering with those teaching liberal arts, but we should really stay away from stereotypes, don't you think?

    Now, I believe your position is that slavery didn't exist in Africa until white explorers arrived, and it was these white people who introduced slavery to the primitive people of that continent? As I said, this nonsense as well as other myths are frequently taught in various leftist programs in U.S. universities, but would you agree that most of the country's leftist academia, let alone mainstream university instruction, disagrees with this?

    Just curious, is a black professor who teaches history that most of mainstream academia calls correct, but conflicts with the myths some of our ignorant minority students are taught, does this make this particular black professor a racist victimizing other black people? (Ppl, if you are finding my writing hard to follow).

    If you insist on arguing facts, please provide links so we can discuss your beliefs. And I'd also appreciate you putting more effort into you written communications; your writing makes you appear to be a slovenly thinker, and I'd rather not waste my time with an illiterate idiot. Thanks.

    Why aren't Great Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal included on the list to pay? The United States did not establish slavery in the Americas, in fact slavery existed for less time under the United States than when this was all European land. The United States has already paid TRILLIONS in reparations.

    Racial identity is a curious thing.

    For one of the census questionaires they do every decade as required, I left the race section blank. I was called and asked what race/ethnicity am I?

    I replied I didn't want to participate in the national race registry. Was told it is required I answer by law. I told him I've had a rough week and I wish I was in the island right now, so put down that I'm a Pacific Islander. He responded, "you sound white" and that he was putting it down that's what I was, and hung up.

    I'm not white. But, apparently, there a NEW version of racial identity. Your accent. Maybe I should have used some Spanish, then he would have determined I'm Latino/Hispanic - which also is inaccurate. :roflol:

    Followed by calling Germany to do the same regarding Jews and the Holocaust. Followed by calling England to do the same regarding Ireland, then Afghanistan regarding women. NOT!

    Trolling isnt knowledge just a heads up.

    And discounting anything you dont like as being "white" means you have no interest in the truth.

    Stop with the insults and debate like a grown up.
    There were no red herrings in my post. You simply want to duck the questions asked of you by resorting to an attempt at getting a rise out of me.

    Have a great time responding while you are banned.

    If they ever pass reparations, and if Jenner can call himself a woman, a woman can call herself a cat, and a middle aged man can say he's now a six year old girl, then I'll identify as a black man. Pay me.
