There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

We have now had a black president, black vice president, several black attorneys general, several black surgeon generals, we've had two black coaches meet in the superbowl.... and we are "systematically racist?" Only the BLM organization, whose obese founder Patrice Cullors said "we are trained Marxists" could come up with that one. And here is the $1.4mm mansion she bought in all white Topanga Canyon with all that wokester dough; kinda like Obama's mansion at 79 Turkeyland Dr., Edgartown MA (Martha's Vineyard) which is literally 3 feet above sea level (verify elevation here, verify addres here.)
One of the Obama mansions (which would house 10,000 illegals alone in the pantry!

"To the shores of Tripoli" is in the marine anthem for a reason! There were even Europeans taken as slaves from Iceland.n the summer of 1627. The pirates came from the cities of Algiers and Salé. They raided Grindavík, the East Fjords, and Vestmannaeyjar. or see https://jddavies.com/2017/02/20/the-barbary-corsair-raid-on-iceland-1627/
Black PBS personality and Harvard Univ. prof Henry Louis Gates says at https://www.pbs.org/wnet/african-americans-many-rivers-to-cross/history/how-many-slaves-landed-in-the-us/ that while 10.7 mm blacks were shipped out as slaves, only 388,000 – a tiny percentage – were shipped to North America (he doesn’t specify it this includes Central America or not). That’s right – just under 4% of slaves went to North America. In contrast, Dr. Robert Davis at Ohio State Univ. has calculated that between 1 and 1.25 million white Europeans were taken as slaves TO Africa along the Barbary Coast between the 16th to 18th C, https://news.osu.edu/when-europeans-were-slaves--research-suggests-white-slavery-was-much-more-common-than-previously-believed/ That means that well over 3 TIMES the number of whites were enslaved by African Muslims than blacks by North Americans. Davis’s new estimates appear in the book Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800 (Palgrave Macmillan). Yes, this means up to 325 times the number of whites were taken as slaves to Africa than Africans to the America (and some of that 388,000 may have gone to Mexico or Central America).
And the U.S. lost a MASSIVE 2% of its population, 620,000 in the Civil War to stop this. In today’s population, that would mean almost 6 million people. History.com says 618,222 is often cited for the number of deaths, with 360,222 Union soldiers. Are more soldiers dying than there were slaves taken not reparation enough? More recently, the War on Poverty – a very large percentage dedicated to make up for the injustices of a century ago - started in 1964, has spent over $22 TRILLION by some estimates. How well has that done? Just go visit the tent cities of socialist SF, Portland, Seattle, LA, etc. I am happy to pay reparations… to any black person applying who lived under slavery, or was even a child or grandchild of a slave.
I have submitted my reparations request these Muslim nations on your behalf, asking for $5mm each. Will let you know when “the cheque’s in the mail.”
