Food for thought.
 

The biggest slavery organization/group was muslim and traded in white people who were sold to Africa :2 cents:

Oddly after speaking to some family members who did a lot of family history our British portion had a family member taken in a piracy raid, brought back to Africa and then ransomed back to our family for a tidy sum. Being curious I researched more as was surprised at how many people were stolen and kept as slaves or ransomed back, how big of a business it was, and how many were effected.

Now question time. Am I allowed to say and bitch that my family was taken in a slave trade and sold back to buyers? Do I get to have a racial chip on my shoulder? Just asking.

:)........

black were and still are a very minor part of the slave trade. the majority of slave were take from eastern europe and sold in the middle east. the slavs, hence the word: slaves.

oddly enough the country that did the most to abolish slavery is the country held the most responsible.

slavery wasn't officially outlawed until the 1920's world wide. several country's were very pissed about it. it's only the 'west' that views slavery as 'wrong'

interesting factiod: in 1835 a black man in the south lived in a wood framed house with wood floors and lived to be 35, a man in ireland lived in a mud hut with mud floors and lived to the age of 24.

No, sorry.

Not really. I live amongst a slave population from the Spaniards, and they don't have any chips, well, for outsiders they do, but not when you're in the circle, and certainly not due to, nor in spite of the Spaniard occupation.

If you want to experience REAL predjudice, live in my shoes for a while, when I'm outside of my circle, I'm outside of the world.

FFT,

A-S-T

ummm, logically, yes, but it'd probably be hard to garner any real sympathy lol

so how many generations of your family were raped tortued and murdered

... and what effect did this have on your family blood line ??

another high school dropout makes a stupid thread on GFY lmao

wow.... who has time to do stuff like this all day?

Not unless you happen to be black. They are the only race that is allowed to still be upset about slavery. Not that it was a good thing or anything like that, but its been a couple hundred years now and the only people around had little or nothing to do with it. So it might be time to stop holding it against everyone.

I think you got the sarcasm part near the end.

First part unknown they were active for many generations, no clue on how much of an effect it really had. Most records from back then were just church and or finacial records and apparently there were many generations of carpenters on that side of the family.

Now may I tip you in on that when I posted the question part I was being sarcastic. As I am hoping you are being the same since your saying I was a drop out from high school.

It was 4am I was awake due to bad pain again and something reminded me of it so I shared. If you check my posts per day however you will see I do not post that often really. I just go on little spree's.
