[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 549970, member: 484"] [b]Re: what would you do[/b] Sol Lemme ask you something "bro".....are you a closet racist? And the only reason you [B]dont[/B] think of yourself being a racist is because you dont fly a rebel flag in your front yard? Is that the litmus test you use, the flag? I hate to tell you, but by the statement of color in referring to the Irish, you showed me that you are in fact, at least toward some, a racist. Why would you feel like you need to define another person by color after already identifying them by nationality? As for the slaves being sold by their own race to the white man, absolutely so. They were only too happy to raid the other villages and take their goods and lands, and bundle off the residents to another world for even more money. That way of collecting the slaves was much more cost effective for the white man, and after all, profit was the key to the whole enterprise. Besides, capturing the slaves was dangerous. Cant have your sailors getting killed rounding up the cargo, who would sail her home? So yes, many if not most of the slaves were first sold by members of their own race. From all over Africa. I know that some Americans are not comfortable with that thought, but it happens to be true. Lots of things happen in history that some people wished they could sweep under the rug. And over time, if they can exert enough influence on the re-writing of history, maybe they can. d [/QUOTE]
