I was reading a little history the other day and ran across something that surprised me, as no history teacher I had ever had mentioned it, even when they very definitely should have. It's almost like a secrt that no one wants to let out, and it has to do with, what else... Slavery. Did you know that the vast majority of slaves that were brought over to the western hemisphere from Africa by whatever European country were sold out by their own people? That's right. The Dutch or whomever would find an African dude with some power, offer him a lot of money, and suddenly the boat would be full of brand new slaves. So next time you hear a black person asking about reparations, you remind them that if anyone owes them reparations, it's their own people, and they ought to go to Africa and ask for money. While you're at it, ask them why you, most likely a descendent of Europeans who moved to the U.S. after the Civil War, owe them anything. And ask them when they were slaveds, can they prove it, where is their owner, do they know the names of their ancestors that were enslaved, or did their family actually come to the U.S. after the Civil War, and now they are just trying to freeload off history.

Google Bill Cosby's speech from some NAACP thing the other day. There's a man that's not afraid to tell the truth. Go Bill!
