pcr speaks about slaves and reparations in an inclusive manner;
Reparations For All ?
Paul Craig Roberts
A majority of the white ethnicities, such as the French Huguenots, the Irish, the Scots, and others, came to the original colonies to escape oppression and persecution. Some came as slaves. English debtors were sold into indentured servitude to cover their debts.
The notion of Woke white liberals that only blacks were enslaved is historical ignorance. There were more white slaves in history than black. Arab slave traders raided the coastal cities of Italy and France. Arabs captured Americans off of merchant ships, causing the Founding Fathers to send the US Marines to the shores of Tripoli. Why are only black descendants of former slaves entitled to reparations?
The white American liberals have concocted a fiction that only white Americans are responsible for slavery. The truth of the matter is that white Americans have no responsibility for slavery. Every black purchased as a member of an agricultural work force in America was enslaved long before arriving in the British colonies of North America which became later the United States. They were enslaved by the African slave wars between black tribes or kingdoms, among which the black king of Dahomey was supreme.
Many of Dahomey’s captives were themselves warring for slaves and lost the battle. .....more........
