So, how many of the African Slave Traders were of an Islamic persuasion?
Blame game? I’ve never played it, only because I neither refuse to accept responsibility for nor will I apologize for things which I have NOT done.
Is it possible, unlike the Zero, Henry Gates learned a lesson from his experience.
Virtually every American who defines himself as Black has white ancestors. Maybe we should two shares of the reparation be deducted for each white ancestor - one for the part of him that isn’t black and therefore doesn’t “deserve” a share, and one part to pay for the debt “owed” by that white ancestor.
So Henry Louis Gates, obnoxious elitist neighbor, is trying to rehabilitate himself in the neighborhood.

Wow, a Harvard Professor discovers the obvious and its considered sensational. Is the NYT that ignorant of history that they didn’t know Africans enslaved Africans? Shoosh, the amount of new discoveries must be great if you are a fool.
ping for later
Sure Racist Gates and while you are at that Crock of Obama, how about paying back all the white money you have Pigged out on all your filthy life for starters.
is this a shock to anyone? of course africans sold africans into slavery. it has been well known for many, many years. usually the winning tribe in a tribe war would sell the losers into slavery.
now, the real question:
does 0bama have slave blood... or slave trader blood?

The article didn’t mention that the Africans (mostly of the Muslim persuasion) enslaved more Europeans than Europeans enslaved Africans [attribution to Thomas Sowell].
Many of the male Europeans became Galley Slaves — which had a rather short survival rate, while the females became household slaves. The Koran not only allowed it, but encouraged it.
