    Do you believe that Biden flooding American communities with MILLIONS of illegals was GOOD for poor and middle-class BLACK Americans?

    Just a hint... Trying to pit immigrants and minorities against each other is silly. The biggest opponent of each community is those that hold the power not those that are abused by the power.

    White (and black) Democrats have been using and abusing black folks for going on two centuries. Leave them and join us conservatives that want government to put Americans FIRST and who want to limit the amount of money that CORRUPT government officials can steal. Seriously. You're on the wrong side, brother.

    The corrupt Washington Establishment has been robbing poor and middle-class Americans for DECADES. I routinely call them out only to be attacked by leftists like you. Why do you believe that politicians and government officials are honest, selfless, individuals working diligently to advance your interests?

    Lmao the largest transfers of wealth have been republican tax cuts which has given rich folks more than 8 trillions of tax cuts. Deregulation has done nothing other than make corporations and elite richer than ever before. You dumbass losers blaming illegals for wealth inequality and not republican policies is hilarious.

    These people are so utterly brainwashed

    The other poster was discussing which party has been better for BLACK Americans. He apparently believes Democrats have been better for black Americans in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

    It's pretty easy. If in general a community wants the policies to favor education, holding large corporations accountable for illegal practices, and supporting programs that put more towards job training reforming police departments, which party favors the policies of that community?

    Which education funding initiatives have Republicans supported? Which police reform initiatives have Republicans supported? Which consumer protection against big bank initiatives have Republicans supported?

    Look at the policy positions and stop acting like black communities are too stupid to know which parties favor which policies.

    Seriously? The Democratic Party has ANNIHILATED black America. Black America was far better off in the early 60's than they are now and it's not close. The white leftist has been the ruin of black America.

    With this ideology, you're going to have to hate pretty much all West African immigrants and anyone with Mandingo ancestry.

    I was researching Sir Francis Drake yesterday as a friend of mine in Cali said they changed the name of his high school from Drake HS to something else.

    In 1562, the West African slave trade was a duopoly dominated by the Portuguese and the Spanish. The Spanish and Portuguese were aggrieved that the English had entered into the slave trade. The Englishman Hawkins allied himself with two local African kings in Sierra Leone who asked for help against their enemies in exchange for half of any captives they took. Attacking from both sides, they took several hundred prisoners, though the kings kept "the larger share of slaves and dared Hawkins to do anything about it".

    They were a Mande people, likely the Mandinka who established themselves in the area around Guinea in the 16th century

    The Mandinka are the descendants of the Mali Empire, which rose to power in the 13th century under the rule of king Sundiata Keita, who founded an empire that would go on to span a large part of West Africa. In the mid-16th century, the Mane or Mandinka people invaded, subjugated nearly all of the indigenous coastal peoples, and militarised Sierra Leone. The Mane soon blended with the local populations and the various chiefdoms and kingdoms remained in a continual state of conflict, with many captives sold.

    There was a lot of this going on. Black Africans capturing, selling and enslaving our brothers and sisters.

    You may know that the Portuguese and Spanish transported more slaves to Brazil, the Caribbean and Americas than any other countries- over 90%?

    The Portuguese and Spanish (Iberian Peninsula) had already been invaded by the Moors. They are probably not the type of white people you hate. Think Cristiano Ronaldo, Rafa Nadal, Carlos Correa, Bartolo Colon (probably a direct descendant of Cristobal Colon.)

    Pretty much all latin immigrants are also going to have between (30-85% Spanish and/or Portuguese dna) and be descendants of peoples that may have participated in slavery.

    You probably won't like Arabs very much either when you learn about the trans-saharan slave trade from Egypt to Morocco which was going on 600 years before the Portuguese & Spanish got involved after the Moors & Berbers invaded (yes, brown people in the slave trade) The Moors (North African Muslims) brought and maintained a significant slave population in Spain throughout their rule from 711 to 1492.) The Moors & Berbers traded millions of white European slaves, too, so maybe you can hate them less. Slaves were termed as coming from three different zones in Christian Iberia: Galicians from the northwest, Basques or Vascones from the central north, and Franks from the northeast and France.

    Trade ties between the Moorish kingdoms and the North African Moorish state led to a greater flow of trade within those geographical areas. In addition, the Moors engaged sections of Spaniards and Portuguese Christians in slave labor. The Moors used ethnic European slaves: 1/12 of Iberian population were slave Europeans. For example, in a raid on Lisbon in 1189 the Almohad caliph Yaqub al-Mansur took 3,000 female and child captives, and his governor of Córdoba took 3,000 Christian slaves in a subsequent attack upon Silves in 1191. In the Almohad raid to Evora in Portugal in 1181–82, 400 women were taken captives and put for sale in the slave market of Seville. The governor of Córdoba, in a subsequent attack upon Silves, held 3,000 Christian slaves in 1191.

    The Mandinka history is kind of similar to how the Comanche immigrated from over a thousand miles away and moved into the Southwest U.S. while displacing the Navajo and Apache through warfare and violence and setting up the Comanchería empire, but that is a different thread I guess.

    Sir Francis Drake decided to ally with escaped slaves from Spanish ships in the Caribbean (cimarrónes- maroons) who themselves would attack early Spanish settlements (this time specifically in Panama). Drake paid wages to an escaped slave named Diego to be part of his crew, essentially becoming first mate. They sailed up the Pacific Coast of South America and Mexico, attacking Spanish ports all along the way (England & Spain were at war.) They eventually landed at current day Point Reyes, Marin Co. California in 1579 and had contact and friendly relations with the Miwok tribe.

    And that's all the history I've got for tonight.
