My paternal grandmother was Jewish. So I guess Egypt owes me a lot of money. Interest compounded over 3500 years should make for a nice payday.Originally Posted by TomMcC

I suspect long before Europeans found Africa, Africans were likely enslaving other Africans. But the concept goes back to prehistory I'm sure. Before the creation of civilization, we were a pretty savage and tribal species.
Ironically, and not that I'm trying to say it was "good" in any way, but African slaves in the new world had a better life expectancy than African slaves in Africa. There you could literally end up in the soup. Everything horrible, brutal and inhumane done to slaves in the new world, generally paled in comparison to what Africans did to their own slaves.

I remember reading that the African Slaves sent to South America essentially got a death sentence.
I'm not trying to excuse it, but just to be able to grasp it's enormity the Slaves sold in the United States had six times the life expectancy.

I just realized I have been thinking about this all wrong. My mother is a Sicilian immigrant as is my paternal grandfather. That being said, I am jumping on the reparation train. I am due some money. This video explains it all:

Yup
Out of 12.5 million slaves about 10.5 million survived the journey
Out of those 388,000 landed in the North America’s
The other 10+ million to Caribbean and South America and some to Central
My time in the Caribbean the locals both black and white had no racial tensions between each other
Honduras blacks and whites got along but hated the Spaniards as Spaniards hated both white and black (in general as one type to another)
Also to note the Spaniards enslaved more indigenous Central America people and sent them to Europe then North American had black slaves
numbers were around or over 500,000 And yet today we are told to give North American land back to them ? And folks think they are the true natives of Central America
Now I hold no ill will to any people anywhere for their parents or further back sins misdeeds and like most a tiny small % were the owners traders etc....
I only hold up the famous judge folks by their character line
I can say my year in Honduras showed me that no matter where you go hatred exists and those countries North of Honduras look down on them so being Guatemalan or Honduran puts you in a lower category and if you are indigenous even lower
How many Irish slaves were in the US etc...
But we can go back to the Danes and England both white both had issues
We can look at sunni vs Shia same race same religion massive hate towards each other
And in Africa of course all over that country same thing and slavery was there before and still exists !
Go back to Chinese vs other Asians again massive issues that still go on today
We are one race racism does not exist IMHO it’s more hatred of culture/beliefs etc.... and often folks of other cultures can be a different color but many times it does not I might say more when you look at Africa and it’s history and even up to current times
should we destroy the pyramids since that was all slave labor ?
Or all the other African historical monuments/buildings etc....

Being of European / Christian origin, my people were fed to lions. Not simply enslaved, fed to lions as entertainment, so Italy owes me big time. I think that should entitle me to a lifetime of free pizza and pasta.
Pizza Reparations Now!
And some garlic rolls and mozzarella sticks.
No PIZZA No PEACE. C'mon everybody chant with me. We're heading to Sbarros.
