I want whites to stop deflecting. What Africa did or did not do has no bearing on what the US did for centuries.You didnt address my point. Lack of balls? Why do whites talk about something that occurred on an entirely different continent instead of concentrating on the point? Africa didnt force the US to legalize slavery. I didnt ask you to pay reparations. You couldnt afford it. The US is responsible for what occurred here. No one else.countries had a policy of selling servants to white slave traders as a way of trying to deflect on any talk of reparations from the US? I always wondered about this and I think I have it figured out. Its got to be some sort of cognitive dissonance at play. Whites make up and made up a lot of stories to justify all the criminal things they have and still do. I guess they think having some traitors help them procure slaves means the practice was one that Africans practiced as a national policy. Its a good thing having access to research from Black authors that tell the truth.
You never come out and say it (lack of balls?), but you seem to be saying that black people had no hand in the slave trade. The truth- powerful leaders sold their own race into slavery. Does that lessen the the crimes against humanity of the European slave traders, or the American slave owners- of course not, but it is reality. So the next time you ask me to pay reparations for crimes I had nothing to do with, go ask the Portuguese, British, Spanish, Dutch and descendants of the powerful leaders in western central Africa.
So what do you want? People living today to pay money to other people for something that might have occurred well over a century and a half ago.
Reparations won’t cure racist people, it will only piss off people paying money for something they had nothing to do with.
I dont care about racists. I dont care how pissed off they get. I deal with them very well on a daily basis. The value of the reparations can be used to close the economic gap. I dont expect it to cure racists.
So you want to redistribute money from white people who had nothing to do with slavery to black people who were never enslaved. That makes perfect “liberal” sense.
