Do left wing Western people say there was no Arab slave trade of blacks?

Not that I know of. Why do you ask? Are you trying to make some sort of guilt by association claim? It wears a little thin after a while. Some people are quite capable of stepping out of their 'group' and condemning BAD when they see it.

@HollowayRoadN19 Ask what in my own profile? Who would know what I was even talking about?

@hippyjoe1955 I am sorry, I cannot help you

@HollowayRoadN19 OK. I guess my suspicion was correct. Someone trying to assign group guilt.

I haven't heard any denials, but why would they deny it? Seems to me they would use that to try to make their ancestors look better considering the Arab slave trade lasted until the 20th century, all the while laying Aboriginal / indigenous claim to North Africa.

Oh please. Right wing types always revert to this kind of racist tinged fantasy to justify something... so I say time to move ahead, ok?? GIVE IT UP on the way.

No! Where are the TV programmes about the African kings who sold slaves to white slave buyers? The porgrammes on Muslim slave trading and Chinese and Indian slave trading history? Go figure!

@PeterByres55UK does two wrongs make it right.? just a thought

@markinkansas Well, no, but i am just asking why that part of the story is never told? Perhaps too many uncomfortable truths would be revealed. Maybe the reparations demanded by some black activists would need to be paid by Africa? Just a thought.

@PeterByres55UK to be fair .. in the past slaves was a common thing.. ya take over a country and you got a free workforce. /. now where can i go buy me a wife.. and yes that is still being done in some parts of the world... .
