Quote for Black History Month
8th February 2024
A Yammerhead on Twitter remarks:
Slavery is white history. How we survived it is black history.
Matt Walsh answers:
Slavery is world history. White people did not invent it, and were not the first to practice it, but were the first to abolish it. The last place in the world to still have legal slavery was Africa. It wasn’t fully legally abolished on the continent until 1981.
The most ironic aspect of ‘black history’ is the affection among African Americans for Islam and Muslim names, since Arabs were one of the major participants in the black slave trade; black slavery existed in Saudi Arabia until at least 1964.
