That is the single most stupid comment you have ever posted and it just blew your whole premise out of the water. Now you are admitting that black kings and chieftains sold other blacks into slavery, but it was OK because they weren’t selling members of their own tribes. That’s what we, the sane, non-racist, members of this board have been saying for months.Nice try, but I know about this and your comment is disingenuous. Whites gave guns to some tribes in exchange for captives. Africans enslaved captives from wars. This is why the Africans sold each other argument is disingenuous. A Ugandan is not a Nigerian but its easy for whites to generalize this in order to deny what they did.
Then you had the same people who claimed he was a Kenyan and was not American disagreeing with everything.
Whites enslaved and sold each other. But whites will denote nations such as the Irish were enslaved by the British. It provides specificity and allows all white nations not to be painted with a broad brush. And if whites armed one side then created confusion to start conflict, then it is disingenuous to state that Africans sold each other as if Africans ran up to ships with slaves for sale.
Then we hold each side accountable for what they are responsible for. 389,000 Africans ended up in America. So if we say Africans all agreed to this, 389,000 is the number of slaves Africans are responsible for here in America. The 3.6 million others are on white American slave breeders.
Last, slavery ended in 1865. Whites continued the oppression protected by law for 100 years and yet we still have to argue with whites who want to pretend that slavery is the only issue.
We all know why Obamas citizenship was questioned.You can be Kenyan and American ... it's not a binary state.
Why would either one be better than another?
Yeah because he was a threat to Hillary’s presidential aspirations. So she ginned up a false narrative to neuter him. Sound familiar?We all know why Obamas citizenship was questioned.
Your lack of agreement doesn't change documented fact. The African slave "trade" was a bit different than you guys keep portraying. There were battles going on in African for 400 years between Europeans ad Africans Thee were whites who were killed when they entered certain kingdoms. So this tale whites tell each other is not complete and that's done on purpose.Whites enslaved and sold each other. But whites will denote nations such as the Irish were enslaved by the British. It provides specificity and allows all white nations not to be painted with a broad brush.
I can agree with that, but do note that in my post I did NOT denote anything. I said whites enslaved other whites.. and actually yes through history it was much more than the Irish. I think sometimes, you just don't realize people are not so stupid. (except for college students graduating in the last 25 years who think Africa is a country) (Iv'e seen the vid)
Of course even though "whites" say Africans sold other Africans into slavery, most people with any decent education would just know Africa is made up of regions and separate peoples so that slaves would be taken from a kingdom or tribe that was not your own (if you were capturing) ...And that not ALL Africans were taking slaves , just as all whites were not.
I would just say also that most Americans were just not taught in grade school about Kingdoms like Benin or the Yoruba or the people of the Masai nomads etc... So they are simply going to say "Africans "
but it would be pretty foolish to think that all Africans were responsible for the slave trade.
As to your one point
And if whites armed one side then created confusion to start conflict, then it is disingenuous to state that Africans sold each other as if Africans ran up to ships with slaves for sale.
No I cant agree with that 100%, because slave traders out of Africa had already been trading in slaves to the Arabs / persians... 1000 years before Europeans got involved. The industry had already been created. Though granted, Im sure there are specific cases of what you say
WHITE liberals. YOU KNOW, the party you vote for.No, they wouldn't. And there weren't all thst many Africans willing to subjugate others. That's why Europeans would use divide and conquer strategies among rival tribes then give some African tribes guns in return for captives.
Whites invented the race card. It's documented fact.
We all know why Obamas citizenship was questioned.
The "Race card" is when someone does something wrong and they try to get out of trouble by claiming that there is some of that invisible racism floating around in the air that we never actually see. When did this happen in the 1700s? Lets get a link because, i dont believe you know what youre talking about.And then in America they created a system based on a racial hierarchy therefore mastering the use of the race card.
"After “race” as a scientific term was first introduced by the French philosopher-scientist Georges L.L. de Buffon in 1749, the term was expanded into a system for the classification of the varieties of humankind by Johan Friedrich Blumenbach in his book On the Natural Variety of Mankind written in 1775."
"The concept of race remained a method of simple classification for almost 60 years until it was transformed into a component of a scientific theory defending slavery in the southern part of the US."
The Scientific Theory of Racial Inequality
Faced with external and internal attacks and no longer able to defend slavery in the old way, the Southern ruling class came to rely on a new, stronger defense of the slave system. As John C. Calhoun proclaimed:
"It is not enough for the Southern people to believe that slavery has been entailed upon us by our forefathers. We must satisfy the consciences, we must allay the fears of our own people. We must satisfy them that slavery is of itself a right-that it is not a sin against God—that it is not an evil, moral or political. . . . In this way, and this way only, can we prepare our own people to defend their institutions."
Thomas R. Dew and William Harper responded to Calhoun’s call by uniting Buffon’s and Blumenbach’s system of classification with Aristotle’s defense of slavery: “He is then by nature formed a slave who is fitted to become the chattel of another person, and on that account is so.” Thus, the “scientific” theory of the natural inequality of different groups of humans was born as a justification of slavery on the basis of racial inequality.

All these men were white and they invented the race card. Then the made race a qualification for citizenship.
The Naturalization Act of 1790 states: “any alien, being a free white person,” could apply for citizenship, so long as they lived in the United States for at least two years and in the state where the application was filed for at least one year. This law allowed “children of citizens of the United States that may be born … out of the limits of the United States shall be considered as natural-born citizens.” Please notice the first seven words. Only whites were entitled to be citizens of this country.
That's playing the race card and whites have played it since the initial founding of this country. Whites perfected it by a series of supreme court rulings most notably Dred Scott v. Sandford and Plessy v. Ferguson. History is documented opinions and beliefs have no place in this discussion. I said whites invented the race card because documentation shows that IS what happened.
Actually, no one questioned his citizenship (at least no one acquainted with the issue). The question, first raised as far back as 2004, and revived by Hillary Clinton when she ran against him in the primaries, was about his Constitutional eligibility based on the the place of his birth, not his citizenship.
The fact that there were statements by Obama (or at least not denied by Obama) stating he was born in Kenya and also in Hawaii, fueled those question.
Obama, and his people, probably would have done themselves a favor by immediately coming out with documentation rather than claiming the question itself was a racist conspiracy. As it was, it was well into the campaign, only four months before the election, before any documentation was produced.
You are always in denial. You deny that blacks ever do wrong. You deny that blacks can be racists. You deny that blacks do play the race card, especially when it’s obviously not race related. My response in no way absolves whites, I don’t deny that both blacks and whites do wrong and can be racists. As far as using a race card, you really don’t see whites blame being white for their problems, it happens, but not much.Actually, we don't. We see a specific subculture in the white community that whines about a race card when they are called out for practicing racist behavior.
Yes, people were definitely called racist for disagreeing with Obama’s policies. I objected to the Obamacare scheme, as I knew there was no way it would be fair and without negative consequences to a good portion of Americans. When I expressed that to someone I had never met before, instead of asking me to expound on what the negative consequences might be, he said “you just don’t like it because a black man thought of it.”Actually, people who disagreed with policies Obama initiated they agreed with before is why some of that happened. Then you had the same people who claimed he was a Kenyan and was not American disagreeing with everything. Last you suddenly saw the tea party rise up who claimed to oppose spending when Obama proposed the stimulus who didn't mind the spending for 2 wars. People were not called racists just because they disagreed with Obama.

This system was built based on race. And it was done to provide white preference. Blacks playing race cards is not why states are gerrymandering districts or creating voter suppression policies. Blacks playing the race carr is not why white Edward Blum has tried for years to end AA. The race card played by white cops has led to serious disparities in the justice system. The same goes for why blacks have always had double the unemployment of whites. I don't think both sides play the card equally.
They meant he was born in Kenya, which would disqualify him.You can be Kenyan and American ... it's not a binary state.
Why would either one be better than another?

Actually, it wouldn't. If even one of your parents are American, you can run for president.They meant he was born in Kenya, which would disqualify him.
You’re right. So what was all the brouhaha about? Even if he had been born in Kenya, his mother was an American citizen.Actually, it wouldn't. If even one of your parents are American, you can run for president.
It was a typical Hillary ploy that a lot of people who should have known better bought into. Hillary has proven over and over again that she's eager to play dirty.You’re right. So what was all the brouhaha about? Even if he had been born in Kenya, his mother was an American citizen.
What it means is whites invented the ard, created a system with the card, play the card continuously while blaming others for playing it when they air legitimate grievances. This claim of a race card played by blacks was itself made up by a racist white man named Rush Limbaugh.
Remember opposing Obama policies republicans were for before Obama decided to mention them? We who actually face racism know what it looks like.
Whites invented the race card in America. And what Obama said is right. There are 48 million blacks here and only 4 are named Obama. Now since he is a leader in the black community, he can speak to the experience of blacks as a population. This tired tactic used by right wing whites whereby they take one black person who is successful to deny the garbage the large percentage of blacks face needs to stop.View attachment 711529
