For modern-day American liberalism to exist and thrive, it requires convincing large segments of the populations that they are victims of rich — typically conservative — white men. This cornerstone of liberal indoctrination comes in many shapes and forms, varying based on which group they are attempting to court.
Lately, we’ve seen the left attempt to paint conservatives as bigoted hate-mongers over the transgender bathroom debate. They have convinced the 0.25% of the population that identifies as transgender that conservatives hate them and just want to make their lives miserable.
The left loves to play the woman card as well. Feminism — the concept that men and women have equal rights and privileges — has been hijacked by radical liberals who believe that free abortions should be available on demand at the taxpayers’ expense. Now, anybody who doesn’t subscribe to modern feminism’s radical, far-left ideology is considered “anti-woman” by the left.
But the left’s favorite card to play is the race card. Liberals have — successfully — convinced most members of the black community that they are victims of white people, and Democrats will solve all of their problems.
When lefties get really desperate to court the African-American vote, they float the idea of slavery reparations. Recently, a speaker at Portland Community College told students that white people owe black people over $20 trillion in slavery reparations.
To watch the (white) speaker discuss why all white people need to empty their pockets to black people regardless of incomes, continue reading on the next page:

A Diabolical System
No family wants to find skeletons in its closet, and no people wants to discover lives being bought and sold, especially by their own, in the past. This is especially true for people of African descent regarding the trans-Atlantic slave trade, a system of capture and trade in black human beings that was, we might say, diabolically ingenious, involving African elites, European merchants and even a class of prosperous mulatto slave traders. There’s more than enough blame and guilt to be shared by all parties.
First, slaves were captured in wars that African leaders waged for a variety of reasons, some specifically for the purpose of generating bodies to be sold to market for the New World slave trade. As the historians John Thornton and Linda Heywood state, a significant number of the slaves shipped across the Atlantic began their horrific journey as by-products of capture in these wars.
Others were captured illicitly “by African bandits and gangs who operated in hard-to-control areas, forests and so on, and hit as people were going to market or sailing on the rivers,” as Thornton and Heywood wrote in an email.
Still others were enslaved by judicial means. Overall, some 90 percent of all of the Africans destined for the nightmare of slavery in North and South America and the Caribbean began their journeys in one of these three ways, and, Thornton and Heywood estimate, one-third of the Africans were captured by other Africans.
The African elites brought their victims to the coast and sold them to slave traders who operated through a variety of trading places, as David Eltis explained to me by email. Some were sold at “factories,” the residence of a European or African trading agent or agents (or factors) of a slaving company, established in strategic locations along the African coast. Some were sold at coastal forts, in Senegal, the Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. “South of the latter (Guinea-Bissau) to the Gold Coast (Ghana), there was a large number of small, but fortified, trading posts.” Then from Ghana east to the Togo boundary today there were about 40 castles of varying size.
Further east, from Little Popo in Dahomey [Benin] to Lagos, Nigeria, “the flow of slaves was controlled by African polities, and the Europeans had agents and storehouses under the protection of an African ruler,” Eltis continued. “From the Niger Delta to Northern Angola, there were no permanent European posts at all, so each slave ship would negotiate with the African polity, and Europeans would not have had a permanent land-based presence, though the Congo River had a lot of European-controlled barracoons [enclosures to hold the enslaved] in the last 25 years of the trade.” The exception to all of this was Luanda, in Angola. It was “the biggest trading site of all, which was Portuguese-controlled, as was Mozambique island,” where there would be warehouses and holding yards.

For what? Being the first country to make slavery illegal? Morons
Slavery wasn’t illegal back then, we lost more than that during the Civil War when the Democrats didn’t want to give up their slaves not until Republican President Abraham Lincoln declared the Amanspation Proclamation. giving all slaves their freedom.
I was born white and I am proud of it, No one should be ashamed of of the color of their skin. I do not owe anyone any thing and will need give anything to any one because of what other people did 150 years ago, no one a live to day had any thing to do with slavery, give it a rest. Black or white we are all Americans and children of God. Stop letting the stupid people here divide us up in to color groups.
They owe us for taking them out of Africa!!
