Did Africans Sell Africans Into Slavery? Let’s Ask Some Africans – Taki’s Magazine

Two wrongs don’t make a right, they make two wrongs, says Jim Goad, reflecting on white and black complicity in black slavery.

As in this:

Nearly all modern historians agree that the scenario depicted by Alex Haley in Roots—that of white raiders penetrating the African interior to rout African villages for slaves—is fraudulent.

Instead, European slave traders nearly always bought slaves from African vendors at coastal markets.

We hear much about the brutal “Middle Passage” across the Atlantic Ocean, but almost never about the estimated 10 million or so indigenous Africans who perished while being marched to the sea in chains and yokes by their African captors.

Goad gives close to a dozen samples of mostly African blacks condemning black slavers, then concludes:

I have endlessly more respect for modern African leaders who are willing to acknowledge their ancestors’ role in slavery than I do for modern ethno-masochistic whites that try, against all evidence, to isolate guilt only on the white side and smear all whites from here to eternity with the invisible shit stain of guilt.

I also have far more respect for these African leaders than I do any modern American blacks who blame whites, and only whites, for every last drop of black suffering.

Longtime Dem precinct worker came by . . .

. . . and we got talking. Told her I take a Republican ballot, we got talking some more and guess what? She asked whom I’d vote for in the president’s race, I said “leaning toward Trump.” Guess what? So is she. If he’s on the ballot in November, he has her vote.

Will he do what he says he’ll do? We don’t know, she said. But we don’t know what the others will do either, I said. Exactly, she said.

Locally, she’s Dem, you see. But Trump is saying all the right things. He has so many businesses going, if economy goes bad, his businesses will too. (He has skin in the game.)

Romney should have butted out, she said. Me too.

How many like her will go for Trump while supporting local Dems?

Imagine Them As Used Car Salesmen

Questions about some well-known salesmen, beginning with:

What would Donald Trump sell you?

Continuing with Hillary, ending with

the one candidate he wouldn’t buy a car from? That would be Cruz.

Yes. The Cruz missile has too many words slipping lightly off the tongue. Slippery is the word, if not forked. Has all the answers, even in his sleep. Pastes on smile now and then. Otherwise, missile-perfect. Unerring, unnerving.

NATO commander: The Islamic State is “spreading like cancer” among Muslim migrants to Europe

Let ’em in, they said. (Bend over.)

Anyone could have and should have seen this coming. But no one in power cared to do so.

Last February, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. And the Lebanese Education Minister recently said that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country.

Meanwhile, 80% of migrants who have recently come to Europe claiming to be fleeing the war in Syria aren’t really from Syria at all.

It would never be this way in the U.S., because we have an alert and efficient government apparatus for preventing it.

The Arabs are coming, the Arabs are coming, says Pope Francis

He should say sharia-supporters.

It’s an invasion, he says, but one, says Robert Spencer, that

he and his minions have aided and abetted. “If Europe wants to rejuvenate, it is necessary for it to find anew its cultural roots” — yet Catholic bishops in Europe wouldn’t dream of standing for Christianity, or trying to preach it among the Muslim migrants.

That might harm the “dialogue.”In any case, the problem is not Arabs coming into Europe. The problem is Muslims coming into Europe believing that Sharia is superior to Constitutional government and determined to impose it in their new countries.

This road to sharia is paved with good intentions.
