...not only in the black USA community, but
also, IMO, in the white USA community. It's
fairly early in his video from 5:00 to about
7:00.
His whole video is well worth listening to.
His request for reparations is interesting,
but, IMO, completely misdirected. If ANY
Continent owes him and his ancestors money for
the atrocities they endured, it is the
citizens of Africa, more specifically, the
offspring of a people who captured, chained
and then sold their fellow citizens to ship
owners from the European continent.
BTW, the Africans who sold their own citizens
didn't think twice about killing or enslaving
the children of those blacks they sold to
those in another continent.
The Africans who sold their own citizens
didn't think twice about killing, raping
and/or enslaving the wives of those black men
they sold to those in another continent.
The Africans who sold their own citizens
didn't think twice about stealing the
livestock, and property/lands of those black
men/women/children they sold to those in other
continents.
Regarding the sudden influx (diaspora) of rich
black Africans to the USA for education and
opportunities in the mid 1900s on, he seems to
forget it was THE RECENT ANCESTORS of those
rich diaspora who SOLD his ancestors to the
ship owners!
For him to demand reparations be given to ALL
those blacks is disingenuous! If anything, he
should be demanding reparations FROM those
black people and FROM the black people back in
Africa!
As an example, listen to what he said, without
really knowing what he said, when he described
Ilhan Omar at 27:30!
This gentleman was on point when at about
24:00 he criticized the black community for
just stupidly voting Democrat, despite the
Democrats NOT only NOT helping the black
community, but also HURTING the black
community.
