Yes - the last taboo is to have Africans admit their role in slavery - including the West Africans that rounded up villagers and sold them to the white slave ships.

I saw something just the other day, that said the 1st slave owner in America was black. I don't know if it's correct or not.

I had a look at that amazing tale Sp and while reading it I could not help thinking about fertilizing my vege garden ! I read up on that Jim Hoft who wrote that story and who runs that "Gateway Pundit" website (reminds me of the "Bangkok Pundit"). He sounds like a real Trump supporter to me and I would not believe one word that came out of his mouth or that was written on his website. These nutcases base all their arguments on bullshit. One of the comments below that story summed it up with - ........................"Don't know how you made that story up but it's pure bullshit!"............................

In the 1860 census in America the total slave population was said to be just under four million, that was about 12% of the population (about what the present day African American population is). This was just prior to the Civil War which of course ended slavery in America. It is estimated that only about 5% of the population in the slave owning Southern States actually owned slaves. They were largely the rich plantation owners. In today's world it is estimated that there are 26 million persons being held in slavery, over six times the total number of slaves ever in America. Modern day slavery exists in every country in the world particularly in the poorer parts, but modern day cases are not unknown in Britain, Europe, the U.S. etc. For anyone to assert that all slavery is practised by Europeans is arrogant nonsense. We have only got to look at what is happening on the local fishing fleet to see that.

Claiming that slavery is a white mans creation has been an easy sell for those with agendas. In no way is that condoning Britains history in the slave trade, which was shameful as well.

I believe it was the Brits that were the first country to abolish the slave trade. I believe even Blair gave an aplogy. Has any apology ever been issued by any African or Arab country? www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/3634825/Blairs-sorry-apology-for-slavery.htmlMany willing to turn a blind eye to modern days slavery.
