A History Lesson

Asians enslaved other Asians.  Africans enslaved other Africans and even today, in North Africa blacks continue to enslave other blacks.  Slavery has existed since the Old Testament Biblical times.  A bit of history that is conveniently ignored; between 1500 and the 1860’s at least 12 million Africans were brought to the ‘New World’ of the Americas. 

Of these 12 million forced into slavery, less than 500,000 were brought to North America.  The remaining Africans went to South America and the Caribbean.  By the mid-1600’s Europeans were outnumbered by Africans in cities such as Mexico City, Havana and Lima.  A few more historical facts: 

1.  The first legal slave owner in American history was a black tobacco farmer named Anthony Johnson; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Johnson_(colonist)

2.  South Carolina’s largest slave holder in 1860 was a black plantation owner named William Ellison; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ellison

3.  American Indians owned thousands of black slaves; http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/an-ancestry-of-african-native-americans-7986049 /

4.  In 1830 there were 3,775 free black people who owned 12,740 black slaves; http://www.ironbarkresources.com/slaves/whiteslaves05.htm

5.  Many black slaves were allowed to hold jobs, own businesses and own real estate;

6.  Brutal black on black slavery was common in Africa for thousands of years; https://townhall.com/columnists/michaelmedved/2007/09/26/six-inconvenient-truths-about-the-us-and-slavery-n876052

7.  Most slaves brought from Africa to America were purchased from black slave owners; http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_text’book.cfm?smtid=2&psid=445

8.  White people ended legal chattel slavery; This is a useless fact.  Since black slaves couldn’t vote and had no rights, it would have been impossible for them to end slavery.

And turning to the present…

1.  Barack Obama, who has stoked the fires of racial hatred for the last eight years, is the direct paternal descendant of slave owners; https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bal-te.obama02mar02-story.html

2.  You certainly won’t hear CNN’s Anderson Cooper mentioning Obama’s sordid family history, lest Obama might remind Cooper, the son of heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, that his family also were slave owners; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson_Cooper#:~:text=Also%20in%202014%2C%20Cooper%20appeared,from%20the%20southern%20United%20States.

3.  New York Gov.  Andrew Cuomo, who found some Lee and Jackson statues to remove from the Empire State, seems to have forgotten New York is named for one of the most notorious slave traders in history, the Duke of York.  Better tear down that Big Apple, Andy.

4.  Before defacing and tearing down statues became the latest Leftist fad, Virginia’s carpet-bagging Clintonista, Gov.  Terry McAuliffe, characterized the Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson statues on Richmond’s Monument Avenue as “parts of our heritage.” After Charlottesville, McAuliffe re-characterized them as “flash points for hatred, division and violence.”

5.  “Blacks who were never slaves are fighting whites who never owned slaves over a Confederate statue erected by southern Democrats because Democrats can’t stand their own history anymore……yet somehow, it’s Trump’s fault!”

6.  Recently the brilliant Democrat leaders all took an eight minute knee to honor George Floyd wearing an African scarf.  The idiots apparently were not aware that the scarfs that they had draped around their necks were the colors and design of the African Ashanti tribe one of the largest marketers of slavery ever.
