    Do you know the price of a slave in 1861?

    Second, ships with slaves were cramped. Have sex you say? I would love to see documentation on that aspect.

    Back in the day, female slaves may have wanted sex to get favors.

    What do you think about the black slave trade conducted by Africans?

    Democrats seldom want to address the source of slaves. Do you personally anguish over the present slave trade conducted in Africa by Africans?

    That is an outstanding dialogue with Moriah. I do not understand why Moriah replied "can you repeat it to me again?"


    Moriah may hate America, but I am not saying Moriah hates us, but for some odd reason is more in tune with Africa heritage than who enslaved the slaves to begin with.

    Roots of Slavery arrived with the steady supply of slaves caught by Africans themselves.

    Native Americans don't believe in the ownership of land. They had no established territories of ownership. Native Americans signed treaties establishing their own nations.

    If you knew every ancestor going back 600 years and spoke their language fluentely what possibile significant effect would it have your ability to live a very nice life in a very great country. What vulnerability would that alleviate? Are you really saying that other people telling you you are nothing, and I'd like some examples, has been a controlling factor on your life?

    Maybe those that do have been convinced to do so by you and your statements and actions? Why do you stereotype white people?

    Sounds like the mainstream leftist wanting to inject Trump with bleach except they weren't being fooled.

    Nah, we conquered this place, its ours by rights. Not really the same as those bought as property by Europeans from black Africans. Totally different ideas...

    That is precisely correct. I am not sure they signed things, but they did not comprehend owning land.

    A good comparison now is who owns the Pacific Ocean?

    Of course it happened, but it wasn't a widespread practice, it was widely frowned upon, and it was kept hush hush when it happened.

    Contrast that with the Arab slave trade where sexual abuse didn't just happen, it was THE ENTIRE POINT of the largest portion of the enterprise. Not only was sexual abuse not a dirty little secret, it was actually a matter of great pride. The number of concubines(sex slaves) in a potentate's harem was a status symbol to be loudly bragged about. We're not talking 10 or 20 here, we're talking harems of thousands of sex slaves, literally thousands.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_Ottoman_Empire

    And let's not even get into the eunuch slaves that were castrated, and then tasked with protecting the harems of sex slaves, cuz that's a whole other horror show.

    You'll notice that there are many, many pure-blood negroes in America today, and that's because there wasn't all that much white-black interbreeding happening, and blacks were breeding regularly with other blacks.

    You don't see large populations of negroes in the former-Arab-slave-trade countries today though, because blacks were not permitted to breed with blacks, and all the children of concubines would be interracial, and then those offspring would breed with Arabs, and so on and so on until the negro was eventually, for the most part, bred out.

    The Arab slave trade involved millions of African slaves, but you see very few identifiable negroes in the Arab nations now, because not only were the African names, and culture, and history taken from the African slaves in the course of the Arab slave trade, the very DNA of the Africans was diluted to the point where it was basically washed out.

    Now that goes WAY beyond losing one's name and culture, doesn't it?

    In the case of the Arab slave trade, I'd say it was equal parts greed and sexual degeneracy.

    OK and the native Americans can go back to Asia and we'll all leave American unoccupied.

    The native Americans were pioneers. The Europeans were colonizers.
    Quite a difference.

    imagine for a moment that you knew nothing about your family history? How does that make you feel?
    My ancestors were people from West Africa who were enslaved and bought to Virginia to work in the tobacco fields. They were whipped, raped and degraded in ways I hate to even think about. They also lost their names (they were given new names, the same way you give a dog a name), lost their language(they were whipped if they spoke in their native tongue; it was English only), they lost their culture and their history.
    Why do you have such a low opinion of your ancestors? Do you also have a low opinion of yourself?

    What difference did it make if the ship was cramped? When has that ever stopped anybody from having sex?
    Back in the day, slavemasters may have wanted sex because they got tired of their wives.
    P.S. It wasn't really "sex" it was rape.

    And they made war and conquered amongst themselves before the first white man came.

    Bluesguy, I am going to ignore you if you continue to ask foolish questions. I know you are an intelligent guy (even though I don't agree with you politically). So, please ask questions that make sense.
    Thank you.

    You wont be seeing any but how about this, if you did: take that$ and use it to eliminate actual slavery in the world today, people who are you know, actual slaves in their actual lifetime in this world today. Surely you would be on board.
