I wonder if they said "hands up don't shoot" to their Black captors?

We don’t hear that according to Boston University’s Linda Heywood and John Thornton, about 90% of Africans transported to the New World had initially been enslaved by other Africans. We don’t hear about Tippu Tip, who was once a world-famous black slave trader in Zanzibar. And we certainly don’t hear much about how Barack Obama—who has no ancestral ties to African slaves in America—is descended from the Luo peoples, who routinely captured other Africans in war and sold them into slavery.

Remember Moochelle's college thesis?? Remember her campaign speech? I wonder if it'd still be the "first time she was ever proud of her country" if she knew Buckwheat's ancestors probably enslaved her ancestors? Sure.....blame Whitey. :lol: It's kind of funny when you think of all of the Black voters who thought they were voting for one of their own. :lol2:

The truth is harmful to their fragile self esteem. I'm surprised Wikipedia allows it.
