  • To be specific, our species of human originated in southern Africa. Slavery has always been a common human practice throughout history. So technically, the first ever slave owner was probably black.

      • Do you guys think that [b]all[/b] black people are responsible for things like black history month, the BET channel, and awards given to black people? You sure do act like it because you direct your statements to [b]all[/b] black people, when they should be directed to a much smaller target audience.

        • The black history month and shaming of anyone for past events is stupid. We should be aware of these things, and acknowledge they happened. But no one who wasn't directly involved should be shamed for it.

          • I've never had guilt for what someone else did.

            • Just a reminder. Since Obama's father was from Kenya, his ancestors were not slaves, but they probably were slave traders.

            • The Muslim slave trade lasted 1400 years and Atlantic slave trade lasted 200, only about 6% of which were sent to the British colonies and Muslim slave trade was much more brutal. But black people don't resent Muslims... Don't know about anyone else but it pretty much deems any Oppression from slavery arguments irrelevant, and technically... White men freed the slaves... Not black men or women... But as usual, facts will piss off liberals.

              Actually he was first slave owner in North America not the United States. Totally different things. He owned himself a couple hundred years before the us existed. So you're extremely wrong.

              • Black people: "we want to end racism and get rid of all white stuff. But we're going to have bet naacp awards and black history month in which no white people are allowed" Bunch of hypocrites I find it especially funny how the blacks complained about the all white (oscars I think) award show but a week after they had naacp awards on bet. And of course it was all black

                • I like how during the slavery era its something like less than 5% of whites owned slaves. COuple that with the fact a very large portion of todays americans ancestors immigrated to the US AFTER slavery was abolished you can deduce that pretty much none of us Whites had anything to do with slavery yet we all get blamed for it Thats BS

                  • Well nearly all slaves were sold by Africans. And the Irish were far cheaper slaves
