CNN's Anderson Cooper in Ghana with President Obama. Cooper talks about the holding area where Africans were held in preparation to be taken to European countries into enslavement, most who would never again see their homeland again in Africa. They were taken to build empires in what was called the New World and to rejuvenate Europe. The largest number of Africans were taken to Brazil.

One of the qualities that made Africans very valuable was their strong immune systems which were resistant to European and other peoples' diseases. Today, with recombinant DNA providing the ability to change the nature of disease causing agents, diseases are attacking African peoples more than any other ethnic group. Is it intentional genocide? Is it convenient accidental genocide? Once considered and legally designated as chattel, i.e., property owned by white ethnic groups, what wouldn't some in power do if it was projected that these people would rise just as Joseph rose in Egypt?

    Your comment: "Some whites may have bought slaves from Islam for 200 years"

    No, not "may have", but did and not only that, they took Africans themselves by the millions from the continent to build their empires. In Islam, we saw marriage of Africans. This is one reason why we see black princes in Saudi and the Gulf Region today, not to mention that many of the Arabs were already black.

  • @IWOP1

    In India, the Dailits. mainly African peoples, found freedom in Islam and slavery in Hinduism. This was not unlike many in Africa and elsewhere. It was the sciences of Islam that brought Europe out of its Dark Age.

  • @IWOP1

    Yes, the annihilation of cultures happens during the time of war and has occurred for tens of thousands of years in Africa. However, none has been more devastating than the scourge brought by the Zionists. Even today, we see their influence within the House of Saud in Saudi Arabia. If Muhammed's advisers were of the same clan who advises American administrations and UK administrations, more or less, what should you expect?

  • @IWOP1

    You claim, "For 1400 years Islam has enslaved all races and cultures including Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Zoroastrians, animists, and atheists. "

    Totally false. I suggest you read the writings of the Ashkenazim relative to enslavement of black people. They were around before Mohammed.

  • Islam's connection with slavery starts with Mohammed. The exact details of how slaves are taken are described in detail in the Sira, Mohammed's biography. The Sira is a sacred text since it relates Mohammed's words and deeds, called the Sunna. Everything he did is the perfect pattern of behavior for all Muslims.

  • @IWOP1

    Saying that everything Muhammed did is "the perfect pattern of behavior for all Muslims" is patently false. It is as saying what Yeshua did is a pattern of all behavior of Christians. Slavery existed long before Islam and Muhammed. Often, those who lost wars were enslaved, if they weren't killed.

  • @911sanitarium but for me i was mainly pointing out how rude many races mainly the white are and how mainly so many of them are still racist, and still think they are better then others. and how they are just plain rude and cruel in many ways. but i do see what ur saying

  • @911sanitarium yes true. and i understand what you were pointing out. and it's funny but yet cruel because most of the time they mean it witout thinking about their past or even many about how whites used to treat other races i mean we're all brutal but out of all races whites of course are the most. that is why while i was doing a project i mentioned how it would be hard to stop human trafficking because many would say who cares or just keep it i bet those blacks or so on deserve it

  • @kimikuro89 We all have committed brutality no matter what race we are in our history there is some mass murder on our hands. we as humans are brutal but i was just pointing out that of all races whites have killed the most. Hiroshima all of world war 2 and 1 the slave trade the killing of native Americans. And the list goes on and on whites have killed most out of all humans. And it is funny when somebody white stereotypes a black man or any other man as being a violent murderous minority.

  • @911sanitarium well it depends on the people like the people that think about the past like pearl harbor and say that the Japanese deserved to be blown up then i agree with you all the way but some whites have changed. but truly i don't really see much of a change so i do agree with you that whites are monsters. But the next question is just because we're not white does that mean we're not monsters as well when it comes to our opinions on the whites or anything else?

  • white people are monsters
