The FSB and CIA colluded to take the money?

Slavery was abolished in Europe several hundred years ago and was officially abolished in the US in 1865.

Very few countries in the Muslim world have officially abolished slavery and those who did, did it in the late 20th century.

In Mauritania, slavery was officially criminalized as late as 2007.

I am in no way trying to undermine the horrible crime that was the Trans-Atlantic black slave trade.

All I am trying to understand, is why the Arabo-Muslim black slave trade, which lasted much longer, had a much wider scope and killed millions of blacks more than its American counterpart is a taboo and is not taught in the West, be it in America or Europe.

The silence on this horrific historical event is downright criminal.

I well understand that there is the fear of confronting the Muslim world, knowing that the “religion of peace” is usually very violent in its responses, but I do believe that the victims and their descendants need some closure.

There might have been a pittance of money handed out, but only to say it was done.

It's bad enough to hear people tout something was done, when it wasn't done, and it's worse to hear people complain about something that was done when it wasn't done.

There's been no student debt relief, just like William Clinton never balanced the budget.

Billions of dollars is not a "pittance."
The Department of Education said Wednesday that it has approved the cancellation of nearly $5 billion more in federal student loan debt, bringing the total amount of student debt relief provided under the Biden administration to $132 billion for more than 3.6 million borrowers.

5 billion is 5000 million. There's 330 million Americans.

So that $15 per man woman and child.

There's currently 1.77 trillion dollars of student debt. https://www.lendingtree.com/student/student-loan-debt-statistics/ - that's 1,700 billion dollars.

5 / 1,700 = 0.29% debt relief. Probably they didn't just bother to collect interest on it for a month.

Like I said, a pittance. This is grade school math, and NOBODY bothers to do math, they just look "oh big number!"

The next generation are slaves, and Americans are not aware of it.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Mainstream media outlets warned this week that if former President Trump is re-elected, he might indict his political enemies, imprison opposing journalists, and change the voting rules of future elections to favor his party.

"If none of the Democrats' 73 indictments against Trump work, Trump might gain the power to have political opponents indicted," warned MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow. "It's terrifying to think what could happen if a President were to wield the power to bankrupt opponents with bogus charges or intimidate journalists with legal threats. We are talking a danger the likes of which we have never, ever seen."

Other outlets were reportedly quick to also sound the alarm, with CNN running a four-hour segment on how the DOJ must jail Republicans in order to keep Republicans from gaining the power to jail political opponents. CBS News, having recently seized confidential records from a journalist, called for the imprisonment of any journalist who does not write what the government tells them to write. "It's the only way to stop Trump from threatening journalists," explained CBS News President Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews. "We have to bend or break every moral and ethical rule in existence to keep Trump from breaking the rules."

AOC got heckled out of a theater last night, but hey, she said protests should make people uncomfortable!

@Patrick trying to upload a video. Doesn't give me an error. Doesn't upload or try to at all. Then when I press the Choose File CTA again, nothing happens.

How large is the video?

Now it works, @patrick

I had to restart my cell phone. Restarting my browser just didn't cut it.

I still don't understand why it didn't work for you before.

It's just a bad state of the phone. My phone gets into modes where I have to reboot it sometimes. It was a local error.
