    1) There is no such thing as a Negro.
    2) There are very few pure blood Africans in the USA, unless you are referring to African immigrants. The African-Americans whose ancestors lived thru slavery are almost ALL racially mixed. White men raped the African slave women on a regular basis.
    3) The Arab slave trade was horrible, but it doesn't interest me. My ancestors came here in the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade.

    Not me. Greed doesn't make me love my family. Greed doesn't make me show kindness to my friends and neighbors. Greed doesn't make me try to make the world a better place in whatever little way I can. I do these things because I want to.
    So, your statement is not true.

    So you don't do anything for the reward of money? How do you pay rent? Or do you just mooch off of people?

    A DNA test would indicate otherwise. You know, like the actual, for real, science of DNA.
    The DNA of African Americans is, on average, over 80% African ancestry, and that's pretty pure by the mongrel standards of America, where we're all a jumbled gumbo of varying ancestries. Good luck finding African descendants of the Arab slave trade that are anywhere near the ballpark of 80% African ancestry.
    No other slavery interests you(not even the currently-running slave trades) because you prefer to obsess(self obsession) on the one fraction, out of the long and storied history of human slavery, that relates to you, and it's why you believe that the Atlantic slave trade was somehow a unique and exceptionally-evil chapter in the book, because it relates to you, are you're special, so the Atlantic slave trade must be special too.

    A look at the big picture would show you that the chapter of human history you laser focus on(because, again, self obsession) is not all that special and outrageous, and you're not nearly the extra special victim you think you are.

    I think I said Abe Lincoln did that and claimed he had a very good reason.

    For me, were blacks back in Africa, we would not need people labeled African anything. We could have only Americans.

    Well it's hard to keep reading accusations that the white man denied you something in your life that needs to address by whites as we attone as you try to make us uncomfortable. As I said go get a DNA test and find out all about your roots and where you come from nothing is stopping you. I don't know much about my last name on my fathers side at least past my grandfather or what his ancestors did, it's not some great hole in my life I try to find someone to blame, it has had no effect at all on my life.

    As I said and if you knew all that how would it change your life today? How would it enabled you to advance in YOUR life and make a better one. And I am sure my ancestors in Ireland and Scotland went through bloody hell at the hands of others, I don't let it control my life or give me emotional grief. Just me but I don't let the past heave such a burden on me that I have to overcome something. I don't speak Celtic, that language was taken away here, I don't lose sleep over it.

    You are grossly misinformed on this. Indian tribes constantly had wars with each other over the usual which is land and who controlled it and guess what, they took slaves.

    I’m Scotch Irish at my roots but I have only casual interest in that and am 100% American. Why aren’t you?

    Personally, I would feel thousands times more sympathy for them were they to call themselves, AMERICANS. Knock off the stuff about Africa.

    Here’s an idea. How about a one time reparation cash payment to any black that wants to move to Africa. Works for me.

    Have a nice day. Practice social distancing. Wear a mask when out in public. Wash your hands frequently.
    Bye.

    What a handy excuse. Slavery still exist in the world, you were never a slave yet think you "deserve" 2 million $. If you really cared about slavery, you would use any "reparation $" to eliminate slavery that actually exist.
