Do I really need to go further into this discussion and speak on the fact that the majority of shareholders in the Dutch West India Company wereJewish and the vast number of actual recorded slave ships, which psychically carried Africans to America, were Jewish owned...hence the reason for the largewealth base amongst the comparatively small southern Jewish population?Originally Posted by wawaweewa

You're right AMP and that certainly wasn't my intention.
I love all people but every group has a history, to deny that history instead of confronting it honestly and moving forward progressively only helps hate to simmer and the human family to remain feuding and at odds.
Jews have had and still have a disproportionate role in the exploitation of African communities. Thats pretty much undeniable.
Thats not a reason to hate because we have a lot of self-inflicted wounds as well. Every group is ultimately concerned and responsible for their own self-preservation at this time... but if we are to move forward as a unified human race, the truth needs to be laid out on the table so that cooperation and equality can flourish.
That 70% number only bears weight when compared to the percentage of wealthy non Jews who owned slaves. The reason being, like Penny stated, that most Jews who were in America at that time were wealthy.
How many wealthy Gentiles owned slaves in America? You think that number is 30%?
There was a lot more that I could have said if I wanted to take this discussion into another direction but thats not my intention.
These discussions, especially one with this type of title, can get very ugly and counter-productive on NT (and everywhere else) so i'd rather not to reallygo in historically right now.
