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.

Holy Sheboon, Batman!
Fat, ignorant, and hateful is no way to go through life.
Did you mean ignoranus? Both ignorant and an a--hole...
Yeah, I’m of mostly Slavic extraction.
There were slaves before the humans who made their way to Europe turned white.
And murder, too.
The truth is that humans are evil. It’s not a white thing or a black thing. But, racism gets in the way of truth. Racists think they are good by reason of their skin color, and others bad for the same reason.
This is what the Bible says, If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar. 1 John 4:20
Wasn’t he the guy Midas was based on? One of the African guys was literally the richest man in the history of the world.
Yeah but what did Tony end up doing to him in the end?

I don’t see her taking white people out. Racist AND loudmouth bulls*** coward, trying to get others to do her bidding.
When I was the Ivory Coast, as we traveled through villages, my interpreter would explain to me how those people used to be his ancestors slaves.
The ‘Professor’ is a little confused and ill informed
Only people of color ever cannibalized their slaves.
So I ax ya: which is worse? Just having slaves (which I grant is pretty bad); or having them over for a meal?
What was their secret of longevity?
Yes, there is sexual slavery in the U.S., mostly perpetrated by her race.
“Black Africans and mussies are the ones who SOLD the black slaves!”
The percentage of early American black colonials who owned slaves was around 12% of total slave owners.
Ever since the invention of agriculture, people have desired to have someone else do the hard work.
“Those who beat their swords into plowshares
Will plow for those who don’t”
Is this some sort of passive/subconscious admittance to white supremacy?
This article is by Raymond Ibrahim, of Christian Egyptian extraction. Go to the original article and it has all sorts of horror stories about Islamic slavery of Europeans. Something that has now just gone down the memory hole.
