[quote=Apes&Pigs;5471152]   If reparations included sectioning off a large portion of America that could be interpreted as sovereign African territory.   They don't deserve a LARGE portion of America, they've never done anything to deserve that and only 12% of the US population does not require a vast swath of land to inhabit. But I would be willing to compromise and give them a state if it would get them out of our hair once and for all.    Blacks could immigrate to that region thus removing undesirables from white people as well as settling issues with the descendants of African slaves who built this country.    Thing is...Blacks would never actually do it. Do you really think they would? Yeah right. And since when did Black slaves build anything in this country? Like what? They picked cotton and worked the fields on the plantations, and worked as maids and butlers. They never built this country, White men built this country!    To tell blacks they have no claims to this continent or to live amongst whites (simply because of their skin color)when their anscestors where kidnapped, brought here and toiled for centuries is ridiculous, and cannot be debated.    Sounds like someone is in need of a history lesson! WRONG! Whites never kidnapped anyone, the Black tribal leaders captured the slaves from other tribes and SOLD THEM TO WHITE slave traders. The Black tribal leaders/kings were very complicit in the slave trade, nobody went over there and started roping negros and hogtying them rodeo style. They bought them. WRONG! Black slaves in America were never tortured! Why would they torture their slaves? How could they work then? Just for pure sadistic entertainment? Psh... That's anti White propaganda, nobody tortured their slaves:rolleyes: You've watched Roots one too many times or something.    What can be debated and achieved is seperation, which I agree with.[/    Once again...do you really think Blacks would go for that? I really doubt it. Develop their own sovereign territory/state and be self sufficient and not depend on government hand outs?? I'll believe it when I see it. I think you're all talk.quote]    Peep dis' big homie. Even the often unreliable liberalized black centric anti White wikipedia says the Blacks were complicit in the slave trade.      Slavery was practiced in Africa before the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade.[10] The African slave trade provided a large number of black slaves to Europeans and their African agents.[11][12]     The first side of the triangle was the export of goods from Europe to Africa. A number of African kings and merchants took part in the trading of slaves from 1440 to about 1900. For each captive, the African rulers would receive a variety of goods from Europe.      Europeans usually bought slaves who were captured in tribal wars between African kingdoms and chiefdoms, or from Africans who had made a business out of capturing other Africans and selling them. Europeans provided a large new market for an already-existing trade, and while an African held in slavery in his own region of Africa might escape or be traded back to his own people, a person shipped away was sure never to return. People living around the Niger River were transported from these markets to the coast and sold at European trading ports in exchange for muskets and manufactured goods such as cloth or alcohol.    The Atlantic slave trade peaked in the late 18th century, when the largest number of slaves were captured on raiding expeditions into the interior of West Africa. These expeditions were typically carried out by coastal African kingdoms, such as the Oyo empire (Yoruba) and the kingdom of Dahomey.[20] Europeans rarely entered the interior of Africa, due to fear of disease and moreover fierce African resistance.[21] The slaves would be brought to coastal outposts where they would be traded for goods. Enslavement became a major by-product of war in Africa as nation states expanded through military conflicts in many cases through deliberate sponsorship of benefiting Western European nations. During such periods of rapid state formation or expansion (Asante or Dahomey being good examples), slavery formed an important element of political life which the Europeans exploited: As Queen Sara's plea to the Portuguese courts revealed, the system became sell to the Europeans or be sold to the Europeans. In Africa, convicted criminals could be punished by enslavement and with European demands for slaves, this punishment became more prevalent. Since most of these nations did not have a prison system, convicts were often sold or used in the scattered local domestic slave market.[22]
