“From the 17th to the early 19th centuries, over one million white Europeans were enslaved by pirates from the Barbary States of northern Africa,” Grindlay wrote.

Correct. However, at least five of the slaves produced this story with a happy ending.

How dare you? Don’t you realize that AmeriKa invented slavery?

I know because I learned it in college... and had it reinforced by radio, television, left-wing websites blah, blah, blah...

There were blacks in the early days of the US who owned slaves.

But all blacks will get reparations.....

Ya know, the fact there has NEVER been a movie made about the defense of Malta against the invading Turks and Pirate is a true travesty, esp. an era where Hollyweird “remaking” Bewitched or I Dream of Jeanie.
The same is true for the Battle of Lepanto.

Both of these battles are tremendous opportunities for heroic action films.

As apposed to the peace-loving history of ...........?

The "North Africans" who enslaved European Christians and West Africans (mainly animists at the time) were all muslims!!!! As with many muslims, they used the Qur'an and other muslim writings to justify their slaving practices.

muslims in various parts of the word (e.g., Sudan, Mauritania) still enslave "infidels", and sell slaves to rich muslims in the Gulf States and elsewhere. Most of these slaves are black. muslims also hold many other "infidels" in dhimmi status, and are threatening to re-introduce dhimmitude in other muslim countries.

islam has been the biggest slave system in world history, and still is today!!!! Meanwhile the taqiyya-practicing muslim would-be dictator Barack Hussein Muhammad obama bashes the great Commonwealth of Virginia for celebrating Confederate History Month, all because of slavery. Partners in Hussein's hypocrisy are the legions of phony academics who bash America (especially the South) and exalt islam, all while hiding islam's truly barbaric past and present.

As for Alex Haley's "Roots", it was plagiarized from an earlier novel, and was NOT about Haley's family history. The phony, plagiarized "Roots" (the book and the TV series) has done untold damage to America and her culture, leading us to emphasize "identity politics" over Americanism.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks bs9021. "Only the fact that the West had more firepower than others put an end to slavery in many non-Western societies during the age of Western imperialism," Sowell argues. "Yet today there are Americans who have gone to Africa to apologize for slavery -- on a continent where slavery has still not been completely ended, to this very moment." Ironically, left-wing scholar and scribe Christopher Hitchens said pretty much the same thing in a lecture that Sean Grindlay covered for Accuracy in Academia in 2004...

Millions of Christians whites were enslaved some into the 20th century at the hands of Turk and other Muslims.

Another fact not taught is that only in the US did black slaves ever live well enough to be self sustaining. Everywhere else in the Americas blacks were simply worked to death and replaced in a continual cycle.

Well dammit, I'm jumpion on the FREE Money train too!

I want MY reparations from the Queen of England for what 'she' did to my Irish ancestors! (Just don't give me Camilla as my payoff) And then I want MORE reparations from Italy for what the Romans did to my Germanic ancestors!

600,000 dead solsdiers and the economic destruction of the Southern States wasn’t enough?

I've heard of the story of Roxelana in the 16th Century where she was a Polish girl (although where she was born, it is part of the Ukraine now) taken into captivity by the Crimean Tatars and sold into slavery into a Turkish harem in Istanbul. She was later freed and became one of his wives.

Roxelana

So the street goes both ways.
