I don't know about that. The Arabs did a thriving business in buying and
selling Africans of all colors. OH wait, non black slaves dot count do they.
only black Africans have been scared for generations, if not eternity, by
slavery?
My ancestors were being bought and sold a thousands of years before "this"
episode of the slave trade. I guess I should demand reparations from the
Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Spanish, and French huh.
BTW my ancestors were held as slaves--read indentured servants- long after
its abolishment in the Americas.
