blacks benefited from slavery

Having difficulty posting a page here.  Perhaps someone could help by erasing my cockups?

The Barbary slave trade involved slave markets in the Barbary States. European slaves were acquired by Barbary pirates in slave raids on ships and by raids on coastal towns from Italy to the Netherlands, Ireland and the southwest of Britain, as far north as Iceland and into the Eastern Mediterranean.

The Ottoman Eastern Mediterranean was the scene of intense piracy.[1] As late as the 18th century, piracy continued to be a "consistent threat to maritime traffic in the Aegean".[2]

Robert Davis estimates that slave traders from Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli enslaved 1 million to 1.25 million Europeans in North Africa, from the beginning of the 16th century to the middle of the 18th century.

“We need to tell the people’s stories the way they told their stories, not to fit our expectations,” said William Allen, co-author of the Florida curriculum.

Oh yeah, the authors of the curriculum were black. All 13 of them. Ron Desantis had nothing to do with it. 

See, the problem with you, Sal, is you don't care about the truth, you only care about your perspective and your end goals. That's why, over time, your tactics don't work because lies need to be protected by more lies and more lies and more lies, which creates a house of cards that even a toddler can blow over.

How's Hunter Biden's laptop going, huh? How's Joe Biden going? Gee, you'd hate for democrat IRS whistleblowers and other sources to bring evidence to expose that Joe was in on the influence-peddling the whole time.. That'd be bad, huh? 

You are so boring and predictable. And you're so dedicated to your indoctrination that you'll defend the narrative of people who hate you - the democrats, the news. They hate you. They don't want to help you, they just want to control you. That's it. 

Anyways.. haha funny videos *NPC voice*..

You're right too, that the idea that someone in slavery, despite all the odds, was able to take that evil experience and make something good for themselves? Well, that's just condoning slavery, right? You are a moron. Heroes aren't people who had it easy, they're the people that take the worst possible situations and somehow make good out of it. The story of those slaves that used the skills they learned in slavery to better their own lives is a heroic story ABOUT THOSE THAT WERE SLAVES, NOT ABOUT SLAVERY. 

“The stories of the people who lived through the history, they have a right to tell the story in their own words, and what we have provided for is the telling of those stories as they themselves told it,” Allen said. Quick Sal, better go tell the descendants of slaves that their forebears were liars and that they don't know their own story as well as you know it.

You incredible baffoon.
