I'm so glad you find this predominantly right wing discourse amusing.
That's because the Left wing discourse was so bad on this board it's adherents were banned, they can't control their emotions which is what we see happening on our streets everyday now, people that can't control themselves. I commend you on not following your brethren on the left who were banned. I think at one point or so it seemed to me when I first got here, the left dominated this board.
Due to tribal wars in Africa,people who were perhaps mistreated ,abused,or enslaved by stronger tribes,forced White people to buy themselves ?
No, White people were not forced to buy Black people but I think it is pertinent to ask if it was only White people enslaving Black people and of course the answer to that is no. If it were only Whites doing it, you would have a point but at that time in history, all people, White, Black, Brown, Yellow and Red, were enslaving people. Doesn't make it right but to perpetuate the idea that this is a White phenomenon and not acknowledge that races other than Whites were enslaving people is a false argument.
Were White people Forced to go in ships to Africa to Buy slaves ?
No. Were Africans forced to have the slaves on the shore when the White people came to buy them? Were the Africans forced to sell them? To try and put this terrible time in history at the feet of only White people is what I object to. I absolutely accept the role Whites played but understand that Whites were not the only race doing this.
When these Slave traders came to America did they Force White people to buy their Goods ?
Were the slave traders forced to sell their goods? This is a circular argument that gets us no where. We can all agree I hope at this time in history that selling and buying enslaved people is wrong and in fact, neither Whites or Blacks in America still do this but Blacks I believe still practice this to a greater degree than Whites in other parts of the world. Would you disagree with that?
I need you to enlighten me some more with your knowledge and views regarding this subject. Originally Posted by sportfisherman

Together, these 10
countries – China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, India, Indonesia, Iran, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines and Russia – comprise 60% of all the people living in modern
slavery, as well as more than half the world's population, according to the Global
Slavery Index
Despite the fact that
slavery is prohibited worldwide, modern forms of the sinister practice persist. More than 40 million people
still toil in debt bondage in Asia, forced labor in the Gulf states, or as child workers in agriculture in Africa or Latin America.
In the 21st Century, almost every country
has legally abolished chattel
slavery, but the number of people currently enslaved around the world is far greater than the number of
slaves during the historical Atlantic
slave trade.
58 percent of people in
slavery are living in just five countries: India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Uzbekistan.
I hope you have been enlightened. Slavery never was a predominately White atrocity and nobody has done more to right this wrong than the White people of American in the last 50 plus years.
Now Whites are working to end racism at a time when Blacks seem hell bent on wanting "their turn".
