up to 90,000 blacks are owned by North African Arabs, and often sold as property in a thriving slave trade for as little as $15 per human being.

id buy as many as i can and make then do gladiator fighting! Nothing more entertianing than watching niggers kill themselves. and hey it happens everyday in the US. Although $15 is a bit high for a third world child, id go for the ones on the dollar menu, or the bargin bin.

but seriuosly, when the blacks where slaves here, a comman slave was worth a small fortune. So in essence whites are the ones who think that blacks are worth more than they are believed to be. and they call us racists.

Where can I get myself one of those?

The slaves here were, for the most part, treated very well. Of course all you hear in the textbooks are the horror stories, but not all slave owners here in America were assholes. The slave owners that the whites bought the slaves from, over in Africa, were the ones that treated them like shit.

We gave them shelter, though not always the best--but just about anything is better than the mud and straw huts they lived in over in Africa. I'm sure most of them were fed three meals a day, whereas back in Africa, they were lucky to get fed once a day--they were probably fed just enough to keep them alive.

Many owners educated their "Niggers", so they no longer were niggers. And nigger, by the way, pretty much just means stupid; or, rather, " Used as a disparaging term for a member of any socially, economically, or politically deprived group of people." - dictionary.com. It's not quite the horrible, unspeakable racial slur that everyone makes it to be. There are worse terms, like coon, or spade.

And think about what happened after the Civil War here. Where did all of the blacks go? Most of them stayed right where they were, with their former "owners", doing what they previously did for free, for possibly a penny a day--OMG WHAT A MASSIVE CHANGE! Many were encouraged by their former "owners" to journey North, to take their education and pursue a better life--often aided by their owners with enough money to start that new life.

Of course, there were the odd racist slave owners that treated their slave like shit, and simply kicked them out after the war. But that's only looking at a small portion of the population. There's often two sides to things like that.

There's a book that I want you to read, but I can't remember the name of it. I'd ask the "friend" who recommended it to me, but we're not on good terms right now. In fact, the next time he tries to speak to me, I'm giving him a skinhead salute on the sidewalk.

But either way, it is a book that looks at the "other side" to things like that; exposing the propaganda fed to us these days about our country. It goes all the way from the landing at Plymouth rock, to the shit fed to us in more modern days. It's an interesting read.

Thank you for that CJ.

I would love to read that book.
I absolutely understand the things we are told today "might" be a little one-sided.

Technically it is.

This is the naive thinking that allows slavery to exist.
Even if something is illegal; that does not mean it does not happen.

There is still slavery here in the United States, you just do not hear about it.

I read another article about "Slave Traffickers" who offer education or special treatment in another state to certain families and once they get the children they sell them as slaves while their parents think they are attending a school or what-not.

It's a twisted world, there is a lot that happens that you would never think about.
