I was referring to Jews who carried out actions that Ill_noize stated:<P>"These are the same people who slaughtered our anscestors and threw them to the sharks as they died on the slave ships till sharks followed the slave ships for food. These are the same Motha-fuckas (yes i mean motha-fuckas (they fucked our great great great granMothers) ) who tore apart African mens bodies to show the other slaves what exactly would happen if they ran (and yes sometimes for entertainment)" <P>these people he's talking about are most probably (i wont say definitely) not jews..the prominence of Jews in America wasn't many at the time of slavery. And IF they did own black slaves, it was probably a Jewish man who converted his religion to Christianity when he married a Christian woman- and they probably raised their children to be Christian (there were very few women in America who were Jewish and many Jews had to conceal their religious identity anyway). But that's if you want to get technical. As for slave trading, even BLACK men, yes AFRICAN men, sold men from their country to America, contributing to slave trade..Men from Portugal, Cuba, Spain, etc. etc. contributed to the black slave trading also and sailed on those same ships.. and you don't see blacks hate on hispanics as being "these people"..or half as much hate when you see a latino with a black person.. And if it's because of the OWNING of slaves in America, then you can't criticize a Jew for it.. as i stated earlier..<P><BR>if you want to check my sources.. you can go to <a href="http://www.connerprairie.org/injews.html" target="_blank">http://www.connerprairie.org/injews.html<;/a><BR>for research on the settlement of Jews in America..<BR>or<BR><a href="http://www.bnp.net/spear28.html" target="_blank">http://www.bnp.net/spear28.html<;/a><BR>for info on race-on-race slave ownership and trading..<P>-cassandRa<BR>
