In a recent article, we considered the claims of Brittney Cooper, a professor at Rutgers University. She believes that all "white people," whom she also refers to as "m------------" who are "committed to being villains" — in a word, racists — need to be "taken out."
One of her arguments is that, whenever non-whites try to have a "reckoning" with whites, the latter say, "It's just human nature. If y'all had all of this power, you would have done the same thing," right?
To this, Cooper insists,
No, that's what white humans did, white human beings thought there's a world here and we own it. Prior to them, black and brown people have been sailing across oceans, interacting with each other for centuries without total subjugation, domination and colonialism, right?
This must be the professor's most ignorant of claims — which is saying much — that non-whites somehow behaved with more tolerance and civility whenever they landed on the shores of others.
While we don't necessarily have historical records of black sub-Saharans "sailing across oceans," we do know that they savagely warred on and enslaved one another. It is enough to point out that, as Michael Omolewa, a Nigerian diplomat, once did:
[T]he bulk of the supply [of African slaves sold to Europeans] came from the Nigerians. These Nigerian middlemen moved to the interior where they captured other Nigerians who belonged to other communities. ... Many Nigerian middlemen began to depend totally on the slave trade and neglected every other business and occupation. The result was that when the trade was abolished [by England in 1807] these Nigerians began to protest. As years went by and the trade collapsed such Nigerians lost their sources of income and became impoverished.

[a]s the world marks 400 years since the first recorded African slaves arrived in North America, slavery remains a modern-day scourge. ... Africa has the highest prevalence of slavery, with more than seven victims for every 1,000 people.
Even the overly romanticized American Indians engaged in "total subjugation and domination":
Nope. The first slave owner in America was black.

I should have been a professor.
There are a boat load of STUPID professors and this is one of them.
Exactly, every single civilization that ever existed has practiced slavery! This so called professor is nothing but a race baiting con artist!
Same prof:
Rutgers University fails to condemn tenured professor (Brittney Cooper) who said ‘we got to take these motherf*****s out’ about white people: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10145969/amp/Public-furious-Rutgers-professor-Brittney-Coopers-history-anti-white-comments.html
That is correct.
garbage in garbage out
One thing do show, dat college professor is ignant. The third largest slave owner in the US was black.
What an ignoramus.
Seems like anybody can be a “professor” today, as long as you have the proper woke credentials. Actual education doesn’t matter.
This is what passes for “higher education” these days. This woman is both incredibly ignorant and stupid and she is a “professor”.
Score another one for Affirmative Action.
Mansa Musa was the richest man in the history of the world, so far, with an estimated wealth in excess of $400 billion.
He was a slave trader in the 1300s. He started the African slave trade as we know it.
He was black of the Mali tribe and empire.
So that's what they mean when they say, "We Wuz Kangz!"
One cannot fix stupid
Native Americans were experts at practicing slavery!
Not to mention the Cherokee and other “civilized” tribes owned hundreds of African slaves and fought for the confederacy.
bkmk
Who hired the low IQ racist bit#h? It’s them that needs to be fired!
Origin of the word slave comes from the enslaved Slavic peoples.
In this clowns case “black professor” is an oxymoron
Perhaps the most prolific slave holders of all times were those in the Mideast. An ancient document from Tunisia told of buying a white European woman slave for a trinket. Meaning there were so many European slaves on the market they had no value.
American Indian tribes kept the conquered tribes as slaves.
Slavery has been known to exist in most every part of the world.
Slavery exists in today’s world.
For a professor to teach anything other than that is teaching a lie.
