Should black people also ask their ancestors for reparations?
Just curious because whenever we talk about racism and slavery we never discuss how it was so easy for white slavers to get the black slaves they brought to the USA.
The Atlantic Slave Trade was a business and other black people were the suppliers. Tribes would go to war with eachother, they would capture member of other tribes and sell them or trade them to the European slavers that then brought the slaves to the US. The reality of the situation is that it was other black people that originally took away the freedom of the slaves that came to the US and they were the first to profit.
And since everybody always wants to talk about slavery and blame white people for everything you should also consider this....In 2021 and between the Congo and nigeria (both in africa) there is still an estimated 2.6 million black people still enslaved. So... the score is Congo and Nigera with 2.6 million slaves and the evil racist Americans have 0.
So... if white Americans owe reoperations i think its only fair that we tax africa and make them contribute as well.. Or are they allowed to do that?

THIS was the ROOT CAUSE of the ENTIRE slave trade network! Caucasian European decent U.S. southerners did NOT climb aboard ships and sail to Africa and "scoop Africans up in a big net and drag them here to the southern states to enslave them" like BLM implies! There were ALSO a GREAT MANY BLACK slave owners TOO that treated they're slaves worse than the horse excrement they just stepped in and would BEAT they're slaves close to DEATH for even MINOR infractions while most Caucasian slave owners ALSO worked in the fields along with they're few slaves! IMHO the whole "reparations", BLM and "ALL Caucasians owe Blacks a free life" movement is a LIEberal left socialist demoCROOK ploy to further divide our country and exploit the African American community for they're support by promising them the WORLD for supporting them and they have less than ZERO intentions of EVER fulfilling they're campaign promises to African Americans just like they have for the last 50+ YEARS!!

African Slave trade was possible because wealthy African leaders sold their own black slaves to Arabs and Europeans.
