Are black muslims aware of the role of Islam in the slave trade?
Because even a simple google search will turn up vast documentation on 2 inconvenient facts:
1.- African blacks were mostly captured by their own people (rival tribes) whom realized it was way more profitable to sell rather than imprison/kill their rivals/criminals/prisoners/whomever.
2.- Arab Muslims commanded and manned the slave trade routes, thus effectively becoming whitey's slave provider (and of their own societies whom some STILL TODAY practice slavery).
So if blacks think that Christianity is the main force that enslaved them and Islam is the main force that can liberate them, they've been bamboozled, to borrow one of Malcolm's zingers.
And if they really want reparations, their first stop should be their own people in Africa, then the likes of Saudi Arabia and Iran, and last whitey back home.
Have fun trying to collect from the first two, or even get an apology...
