They weren't stolen, most of them were sold to the slavers by other African people. This was a legal trade at the time and had been since the beginning of time. Fortunately, white Christians started to think that there was a better way of being and eventually managed to stop the slave trade and freed the enslaved. This should have been the end of the matter but there are always grifters who want to get money from stirring things up again...

Yep. Funny how it works isn't it.

Reparations demanded, instead of thanks given.

And of course, we apparently stole their culture to boot...

But of course, there is no such thing as black or white culture! At least that's what people say when whites try to lay claim like the blacks do.

I know that L0la L33tz only claimed there was no such thing as black or white culture to dodge answering a difficult question that highlighted her hypocrisy, but I honestly used to believe it.

Then about 15 years ago I started getting accused of 'cultural appropriation' and I realised that black people thought they were different to me because of the colour of my skin... And yet somehow I'm a the racist?
