Why don't you ask about how black ancestors had slaves captured and ready for sale when the boats came? Do you think white men just jumped off the ships and started running around Africa with nets?

That's the fact, Jack. Africans enslaved Africans in Africa as a result of tribal battles, then sold them to the slave traders. Very lucrative.
Also, Google who was the first slave owner in the colonies, that will surprise some people!
I think our schools do a poor job teaching history. If the whole story were told, we would would not have kids growing up to hate white people. We would have all kids growing up realizing there were horrible things in the past that they do not want to repeat in the future. Both blacks and white had slaves. Both blacks and whites abolished slavery.
I should have added that this is a parody. Don't think everyone grasped it. The point is:no matter what you think we are all at fault for today's situation. The "ancestors" and "wealth" reasoning is just an excuse to perpetuate conflict. All the precious materials that came from Africa during imperialism now are worth nothing so can't be used as an excuse anymore.
