I really don't like what I am about to do, but this is another moment, to me, where something must be said.
Again, off of this post, in the comment section:
But the question I really have for anyone is this:
Muslims in this country are recruiting blacks to come on board their religion of peace train faster than any other ethnic group. We have people like Mumia, Farrahkan, Muhhammed Ali, etc who have all climbed aboard the peace train in what they believe is a retaliation to whitey. Muslims play on black’s notion’s that whitey enslaved me and puts me down. What I find ironic is that Muslims were about 50% responsible for fueuling the TransAltantic Slave trade - Slaves breed in Western Africa were marched to the ports in the Sudan were they were traded for rum, tobacco and cotton. The Muslims were the ones who put Farrahkan’s ancestors on the boats that went to not only the US, but Cuba and South America. On top of that the Muslims were responsible for the death of over 128 African Slaves in their lands during the height of the Africa Slave Trade. The majority of these Africans who died were young girls and women sold as sex slaves throughout the middle east.
So why do blacks so hate America, but join the ranks of a Religion that did more damage (and is still doing damage today) to their ancestors and country than the US ever did.
Cowgirl
I'm sorry, but this is the sort of race baiting, making the Black Boogie Man garbage that I cannot let stand.
My response:
The supposition is wrong.
If Blacks hated America as you so assume, Blacks wouldn’t “disproportionately” join the armed services.
If Blacks hated America, those who did join the service and/or those who have clearances, would have a higer rate of espionage than can account for the general population of those who hold clearances.
The NOI Muslims make up 0.1%, that’s 1/10th of 1% of Black Americans. Black Americans, overwhelmingly, are Christian. The next largest group of Black Muslims are no more than 1% of the Black population.
So, you just created a boogy man of about 1.1% of the Black population.
So tell me why your comments should not be considered race baiting.
OK, now the reply?
Please get my comments straight - It has nothing to do with race baiting - it is factual.
Black Americans are the fast growing segment of the total population jumping on the Muslim bandwagon here in the US. Most of the recruiting is done in US Prison where Blacks make up a disportionately amount of the prison population. ...
Fact 1: After leaving jail, most of the people who joined Islam, don't maintain the adherence to it.
Fact 2: We are STILL talking about a Black Mulsim population of about 1-2% of the Black population.
Again, that's 1-2% of the Black population. Wow.
By the way, please don’t start on the poverty band wagon....
Given, I never mentioned poverty, and I am on record as saying poverty is not an excuse, why would that poster go there?
Farrakan, Ali, Mumia are Black Muslims who make racists statements about America and whitey keeping them down and enslaving them. Yet they belong to a Religion that has done more damage in the past and today to the African nations and Their African ancestors than another other nation, country or group of people that exists today or ever existed. These are all facts and have nothing to do with race baiting.
When a person writes "asks", So why do blacks so hate America, and then goes on to make 1-2% of the population as representative of the entire population, why is that NOT race baiting?
of course it was race baiting. well handled, ed.
