Black History Month: Why not teach about Arab-Muslim slavers?

[IM2]

Black people are the OG slavers. The enslavement of black people is basically a ancestral black cultural tradition. We need a holiday to recognize this diverse tradition of black people enslaving black people. I think black history month should start with black people acknowledging their role in the subjugation of black people.

White denial seems to be an American phenomenon.

“In fact, most American slaves were not kidnapped on another continent. Though over 12.7 million Africans were forced onto ships to the Western hemisphere, estimates only have 400,000-500,000 landing in present-day America. How then to account for the four million black slaves who were tilling fields in 1860? “The South,” the Sublettes write, “did not only produce tobacco, rice, sugar, and cotton as commodities for sale; it produced people.” Slavers called slave-breeding “natural increase,” but there was nothing natural about producing slaves; it took scientific management.Thomas Jefferson bragged to George Washington that the birth of black children was increasing Virginia’s capital stock by four percent annually.”

“According to database-backed estimates by David Eltis and DavidRichardson, only about 389,000 kidnapped Africans were disembarked in the ports of the present-day United States, the majority of them before independence.”29“By 1860, those few hundred thousand Africans had givenway to four million African Americans.”
-Ned & Constance Sublette, The American Slave Coast: A History of the Slave -Breeding Industry

According to this information , 389,000 slaves landed on the shores of what is now America. By 1860, there were four million slaves living here. The importation of slaves was made illegal in 1808. So from 1808 until 1860, the number of slaves increased by at least one thousand percent. If we allow for the Africans selling each other, Africans would be responsible for approximately 389 thousand slaves in America. What about the 3.1-4 million additional slaves? Africans did not create them. This was done by forced slave breeding for business, pleasure, andentertainment. Whites in America controlled this "industry".

There is still slavery in Europe. And America practiced Jim Crow after slavery, which was not much better. White racism in America did not end with slavery.

Democrats have continued slavery by giving us Jim Crow and segregation well into the 20th and 21st Centuries.
Indeed, over 100 years ago President Woodrow Wilson (D) did segregate our military and Lyndon Johnson (D) created the Black welfare state destroying the black family unit . Democrats continue their modern day slavery of Black people.
All you have to do is look at the Blue Plantation cities and the Ghetto's created by Democrats. Need I list the Blue Sanctuary Plantation cities across the nation with black Ghetto and high crimes?
Hmm.., don't believe me?

Denial is a way of life for you, give us a break.

The mayor of the city does make it red or blue. You talk about Flint and a republican state government created the water problem they have now. So that alone kills your argument. Secondly, Republicans run for mayor in those cities and lose. They lose because what they propose sucks. Furthermore, a mayor is one vote on the city council. If the council is majority republican then the mayors democratic vote is negated. But its easier for you right wingers to blame democrats than to accept that the ideas republicans have would have made things worse.

A group of American astronomers is demanding that the name of Portuguese and Spanish navigator Fernan Magellan, who made the first circumnavigation of the globe, be removed from the names of space objects because he was a "murderer and slave owner," The Guardian reports.

I'm worried, is there nothing named after Julius Caesar? What a slave owner of slave owners. Let's ban naming a salad after him! And let's rename the month of July along with Augustus.
