DENYING the truth don't make it go away or change it..

Let alone that the initial slave stock where the captured people from One tribe conquered by another due to the warlord caste system at the time they literally traded people for salt

Did you know that in Africa Black people enslaved other Black people and then sold them to the Whites

Did you know it was still American's who bought those slaves?

There's no supply without demand.

the point of the statement is that, no single person is at fault for the issue that was caused by people who are already dead

Did you know that China still has legal slavery. And actually Britain bought the slaves and then brought them to America.

It's not legal, but... explain how that is relevant to reparations to the slaves and their descendants here in the States?

Yes it is legal in China. But why should we give reparations to people that had descended from slaves over 160 years ago! I swear you are following me whistlelock

I get alerted to your replies to my replies.

that's literally it.

And, again, explain how slavery in China is relevant to repaying the descendants of slaves for the economic work they did to build this country.

And it's not just up to the end of slavery. It's not like slavery ended, everything was fine, and everyone got a fair wage for their work.

It's for all the things we've stolen from them. Like for example the settlers who went to California, bought land legally, and then had it stolen from them by white people.

Let people who feel the need to ease their unfounded guilt trips, give reparations from their own money... and leave the rest of us including taxpayer money alone...

FUN FACT: DID YOU KNOW THAT AFTER THE UNION WON THE U.S. CIVIL WAR THE CONFEDERACY DESTROYED ALL SLAVE RECORDS SO NO ONE COULD TRY TO ATTACK THEM. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GIVE PEOPLE REPARATIONS IF THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THEY ARE DESCENDED FROM SLAVES. ALSO THERE WERE INDIAN SLAVES, ITALIAN SLAVES, NATIVE AMERICAN SLAVES, GERMAN SLAVES, CHINESE SLAVES, AND JAPANESE SLAVES. SO WHERE ARE THE REPARATIONS FOR THEM? WHY DO ONLY PEOPLE DESCENDED FROM BLACK SLAVES GET REPARATIONS AND NO ONE ELSE DOES? THIS IS JUST ANOTHER SCANDAL BY THE DEMICRATIC PARTY. GOD I AM TIRED OF BEING RIGHT!

Let’s deny everything, classic Make All Go Away. Like pointing to someone else, hey he did it, so why are you on my case?

OMG, the Barbary coast is in America?!?

You'd think the Marine's would have mentioned it in their song. Especially the part about "Shores of Tripoli."

They could have just said, "Oh, it's Florida. LOL."

Wait. Didn't the Barbary slave trade end when the French & British demolished it in the Second Barbary War?

Also.

Since when is Reparations about some other country?

It's always been about this country.

Because it seems like you're trying to deflect and minimize the US's participation and expansion in the slave trade.

There are no slave traders if there's no one buying.

By the time of the civil war, the US was growing 78% of the world's cotton.

The world's cotton.

That includes the cotton the northern industrial complex was turning into fabric.

Reparations is about making sure the families of the people who did that work get paid what they should have been paid.

the people who worked with no pay are already dead

Frisco was only called babery coast because of muslim slave traders , the real one is in AFRICA and slave trading goes on there everyday in 2023. africans are still selling their own people in the 21st century..

It was not. It was named that because it was a lawless area and the Barbary Coast was also a notorious lawless area.

Muslim Pirates were never in control of the area. Muslim Pirates were never snatching millions of white people off the streets of San Francisco and selling them into slavery.

That did not happen.

Yeah, it was named after teh Barbary Coast of North Africa.

You know, the spot that Jefferson sent the Marines to invade because piracy was so bad.

And, yes, white people were taken as slaves throughout history.

But not here in the United States. They weren't bought and sold for generations here.

The concept of Reparations is solely about the economic benefit the United States gained from slavery since its days as a colony.

Not something that happened in another part of the world.

Wrong wrong wrong

Show me. If it's so wrong, show me.

Show me the facts that that the San Francisco area was a base for Muslim Pirates snatching white people and selling them into slavery.

Show me the facts.

Why so you can ignore them ?

Oh, no. Not at all. If you can come up with some real, documented, data-driven history that proves that there were Muslim Pirates living in a pirate stronghold in what is now the San Francisco bay area that were kidnapping white Europeans and selling them as slaves, I'd be very interested in reading it.

Because it's entirely counter to what we know today (that the Barbary district didn't form until the city boomed due to the gold rush, and it was specifically named after the Barbary Coast of North Africa, which was a pirate region that did trade in slaves).

And I'd like to see that.

Hey. You're the one who made the claim. You need to support it with facts.

That's how science works. You make a claim. Then you support it with facts and data.

Otherwise you're just making stuff up to make yourself feel better.

That's your feelings, not facts.

I've looked up the origins of the barbary coast area of San Francisco. It talks about how it started out. It exploded when the gold rush happened. It was a classic criminal area of a boom town. And they named it after a notorious region of North Africa.

Not once has there been a mention that "oh, yeah, BTW, it was also a pirate fortress where they snatched up white people and sold them into slavery."

So. If you're in "the know" about the real history of the San Francisco Bay area that proves Muslim Pirates in the area, show it to me.

Show me facts.

https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/california/articles/a-brief-and-bloody-history-of-sfs-barbary-coast/

The exploitative nature of such establishments was best demonstrated through the widespread prevalence of ‘shanghaiing,’ the unfortunate term for the practice of drugging and kidnapping able-bodied men to serve on ships in need of sailors. ‘Shanghaiing’ was a booming industry in many parts of the world during the latter decades of the 19th century, but it was particularly successful amidst the lawlessness of the Barbary Coast. With San Francisco’s elite choosing to either profit from or ignore the resurgence of criminal activity, all manner of vices flourished, from prostitution to drug use.

From the 1860s to the 1906 Earthquake, the Barbary Coast was home to a diverse array of sordid entertainment. Nonetheless, even the most unique establishments were united with the rest by the fact that they all served alcohol. Crammed together along a three-block stretch of Pacific Avenue, then called Pacific Street, you could find dance halls, concert saloons, seedy dive bars, brothels, and drug stores, where morphine and cocaine were sold to addicts at all hours of the day.

You should actually read that article instead of reading for confirmation.

I am going to directly quote the second sentence of the piece: The district was named for an expanse of North African coastline, from Morocco to modern-day Libya, that was home to dreaded pirates and slave traders who terrorized the coastal villages of Europe.

Do you understand that?

This article is agreeing with all the other information I've read about Frisco. There was a lawless section of the city. It had 2 distinct periods. it was named after a section of North Africa that did have pirates that engaged in the slave trade.

At no point does it establish that section of San Francisco as being a Muslim Pirate stronghold that snatched millions of white people and sold them into slavery.

That didn't happen.

Was it a lawless area filled with vice? Yeah.

Were dudes snatched off the street and put on boats? Yes.

This practice was not unique to San Francicso. Being "shanghaied" is that era's slang for the press gang.

A common practice throughout Europe. The British called it "being crimped." This practice even shows up in the Muppet Treasure Island movie.

Did "pirates sell more white slaves than black slaves" through San Francisco? No.

That didn't happen.

This is more "white people are the real victims here" nonsense pushed by white supremacists.

At no point in the United States history were "more white slaves sold than black slaves." That's not a thing that happened.

‘shanghaiing,’ slaves muslim slavery white people Frisco..

No. It's an American slang term for the Press Gang. A common practice throughout Europe.

You...You think...You think that the Barbary Coast section of San Francisco was a secret Muslim pirate base where they sold white people as slaves?

They some how sailed all the way around the world on a regular basis to Europe. Kidnapped people. Sold them.

And then sailed ALL THE WAY BACK to California.

And this is despite the known history of the area being sparsley settled until the gold rush when the town boomed into existence and they named the crime district after the Barbary Coast of North Africa.

So. I'd like to see your documentation on how San Francisco was a secret pirate base. I need to you prove your claim.

Show me the facts. Real facts. With evidence. And data.

This meme should explain whistlelock pretty well
