I was thinking that all history was "known." I was thinking that liberals were just stupid and didn't know any history. But now I'm getting the impression that stupid people would score higher on an SAT than the liberals here. They are changing the subject. They are arguing points not brought up in the forum title. Americans (colonists) did NOT start the slave trade. This is the title and the argument. And the libs keep trying to change the subject.

This thread is not about justifying anything. Nobody "justifies" slavery, whether it is the African slavery from the 7th Century to the 19th Century, or it is Africa today, or China. (Well, you left wingers DO buy Nikes so you ARE supporting Chinese slaves. Are you going to pay those slaves reparations? They're alive today.,) All this thread is about is Americans (colonists) did NOT start the slave trade. No wonder blue states schools are so inferior.

Until you can provide either a time machine or explain how the Confederate States Of America somehow still exists, that now stands as the dumbest and most dishonest statement of this thread. Nobody in the US Government was alive during slavery. Nobody in today's US Government was in Africa helping catch slaves between the 7th and the 19th centuries. The Democrats in this government borrow from unborn children fifty years in the future to buy votes with welfare dollars. So there IS a connection between government and the future. There is ZERO connections between government and the past. Or maybe you'd have the French government pay reparations to those who were unfairly imprisoned in the Bastille.

So you're doubling down on your simpleton PRETENSE that there was ONLY ONE REASON. Thanks for demonstrating YOU don't have the education to understand why that's wrong. It still goes back to the thread title. Americans (colonists) did NOT start the slave trade. Americans WHO BOUGHT slaves ARE TO BLAME. Only an id iot would deny HALF of the responsibility. Not a SINGLE American today bought a slave. (although a LOT of Americans including NBA stars wear products MADE by slaves.) RACIST DEMOCRATS in the South WERE WHITE Americans. You should think before clicking "Submit." Perpetrating the slave trade is JUST AS EVIL as STARTING IT despite your PATHETIC DEFLECTION. Not all Southern Confederate soldiers were whit. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/black-confederates-truth-and-legend Bottom line, you have lost this argument. The thread title is about Americans (colonists) did NOT start the slave trade I've proven that with reliable sources and logic.

Africa began selling slaves to other Africans, long before the trans Atlantic routes were created. And again, back to the thread title Americans (colonists) did NOT start the slave trade. That is the point I've made. You've tried to change the subject, but facts are facts, whether you like them or not. This thread is NOT about slave reparations. It is NOT about the Civil War. It is about the FACT of that title. Grow up.

In America, we leave our property to our descendants. Slaves had NO PROPERTY because it was STOLEN.;' Name the property that was stolen. (That's how it works in the real world. If something is stolen--cash, credit cards, cars, silverware, TVs,) there is a trail to what way stolen.) Or admit you are LYING. Apply it to YOURSELF for INVENTING ^this STRAWMAN. No participant is "off the hook" except by your deflection of guilt for the American CUSTOMERS for slaves. I have ZERO guilt for what Africans did to themselves, and for what they are STILL doing today. And NO American black is being held in slavery, so NO American black is entitled to ANY reparations. This is logic. Then again, I keep forgetting. You blue staters can't even spell the word logic.

The people to whom the crime was committed have been dead a long time. It's impossible to return wages to them. Are you stupid? Outside of the FORTY MILLION slaves living TODAY https://globaljustice.regent.edu/2021/01/slavery-still-exists-today/ there is no logical reason to pay reparations to people who have not suffered the crime. Unless you can provide ANY documentation that there are ANY blacks being held in slavery in the United States, there is no legal cause of action for reparations.
-
I'll be fair. NAME the black man whose wages were stolen from him. It'll have to be a black person who is living today, because the last black slave has been dead for almost a century. We'll wait. Name even FIVE black men whose wages were stolen by slavery. So you let all the other countries off the hook, INCLUDING the countries who began the practice. Hence my term "bat guano for brains."

Your quote does NOT prove a lie. The thread title is a FACT, which is backed up by reliable sources. Educated people know this. Just because you're a simpleton who tries to blame ONE reason, does NOT mean there were not MANY MORE. You're the bat guano for brains who blames Americans for slavery. The American Southern racists did NOT fight "a bloody CIVIL WAR" to end slavery, they fought to KEEP their slaves. DUH. You really are pathetic. I said WHITE AMERICANS fought a bloody civil war to end slavery. That part is history. Maybe before you dropped out of the third grade you should have read at least ONE history book. Yes, RACIST DEMOCRATS in the South fought to maintain their slaves. They then gave us Jim Crow, the welfare state and a destroyed black family unit. For purposes of this thread. (since you people have difficulty sticking to the subject of the thread) Americans did NOT start the slave trade. That part has been proven.

Every self made, successful person came from a family who supported him/her. My family supported me, until I went to work on my own. I don't credit my parents directly for graduating college Magna Cum Laude, (which occurred in my 40s when I went back to school.) And my parents died before I became an educator. I DO credit my father for my work ethic.
