The US Is Far Less Racist Than Many Other Countries-So Why Are We Putting The US In the Spotlight
Aug 4, 2021 12:43:52 #
Many proponents of critical race theory believe that slavery was unique to the US and that America should pay reparations to the ancestors of black America. It is important that people realize the facts. The slave trade actually began in the Arab world and the whole world bought slaves from the muslims and put them to work in their countries. In history, many cultures were enslaved to others. The Israelites were enslaved to the Egyptians until the Exodus. The Germans enslaved all non-Arian peoples when they conquered Europe. Why do the critical race theorists target the United States as racist. It has historically been a world problem for many thousands of years.
I would add that the Democrats want us to believe that America is a bad place because it adopted slavery. America is not a bad place. It recognized that slavery did not align with the constitution which guaranteed the freedoms of all Americans. A war was fought and it was eliminated. Slavery was defeated in the United States. Instead of being apologetic, we should be proud that it was eliminated from this great nation. There are many countries that still practice slavery today and you can find that out by reading the article below.
Those proponents of critical race theory have got it all wrong and are teaching our children a false theory and not the truth about the history of slavery. They do not want the history revealed so Black Americans can continue their belief they are the victims and white Americans can be taught to believe they are White Supremacists. Nothing could be further from the truth!
The Muslim world initially inherited the institution of slavery from pre-Islamic Arabia;[1] and the practice of keeping slaves subsequently developed in radically different ways, depending on social-political factors such as the Arab slave trade. Throughout Islamic history, slaves served in various social and economic roles, from powerful emirs to harshly treated manual laborers. Early on in Muslim history slaves provided plantation labor similar to that in the early-modern Americas, but this practice was abandoned after harsh treatment led to destructive slave revolts,[2] the most notable being the Zanj Rebellion of 869–883.[3] Slaves were widely employed in irrigation, mining, and animal husbandry, but most commonly as soldiers, guards, domestic workers,[2] and concubines. Many rulers relied on military slaves (often in huge standing armies) and on slaves in administration - to such a degree that the slaves could sometimes seize power. Among black slaves, there were roughly two females to every one male.[2] Two rough estimates by scholars of the numbers of just one group - black slaves held over twelve centuries in the Muslim world - are 11.5 million[4] and 14 million,[5][6] while other estimates indicate a number between 12 and 15 million African slaves prior to the 20th century.[7]
Islam encouraged the manumission of Muslim slaves as a way of expiating sins.[8] Many early converts to Islam, such as Bilal, were former slaves.[9][10][11][12] In theory, slavery in Islamic law does not have a racial or color basis, although this has not always been the case in practice.[13] In 1990 the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam declared that "no one has the right to enslave" another human being.[14] Many slaves were imported from outside the Muslim world.[15]
The Arab slave trade was most active in West Asia, North Africa, and Southeast Africa. The Ottoman slave trade exploited the human resources of eastern and central Europe and the Caucasus; the Barbary Coast slave traders raided the Mediterranean coasts of Europe and as far afield as the British Isles and Iceland. In the early 20th century (post-World War I), authorities gradually outlawed and suppressed slavery in Muslim lands, largely due to pressure exerted by Western nations such as Britain and France.[16] Slavery in the Ottoman Empire was abolished in 1924 when the new Turkish Constitution disbanded the Imperial Harem and made the last concubines and eunuchs free citizens of the newly proclaimed republic.[17] Slavery in Iran was abolished in 1929. Mauritania became the last state to abolish slavery - in 1905, 1981, and again in August 2007. Oman abolished slavery in 1970, and Saudi Arabia and Yemen abolished slavery in 1962 under pressure from Britain.[18] However, slavery claiming the sanction of Islam is documented at present in the predominantly Islamic countries of the Sahel,[19][20] and is also practiced in territories controlled by Islamist rebel groups. It is also practiced in countries like Libya and Mauritania - despite being outlawed.[citation needed]
Slavery in pre-Islamic Arabia
Slavery was widely practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia,[need quotation to verify] as well as in the rest of the ancient and early medieval world. The minority were European and Caucasus slaves of foreign extraction, likely brought in by Arab caravaners (or the product of Bedouin captures) stretching back to biblical times. Native Arab slaves had also existed, a prime example being Zayd ibn Harithah, later to become Muhammad's adopted son. Arab slaves, however, usually obtained as captives, were generally ransomed off amongst nomad tribes. The slave population increased by the custom of child abandonment (see also infanticide), and by the kidnapping, or, occasionally, the sale of small children. Whether enslavement for debt or the sale of children by their families was common is disputed. (historian Henri Brunschvig argues it was rare, but according to Jonathan E. Brockopp, debt slavery was persistent.) Free persons could sell their offspring, or even themselves, into slavery. Enslavement was also possible as a consequence of committing certain offenses against the law, as in the Roman Empire.
Two classes of slave existed: a purchased slave, and a slave born in the master's home. Over the latter, the master had complete rights of ownership, though these slaves were unlikely to be sold or disposed of by the master. Female slaves were at times forced into prostitution for the benefit of their masters, in accordance with Near Eastern customs.
Bilal ibn Ribah (pictured, atop the Kaaba) was an Ethiopian slave, emancipated on Muhammad's instruction, and appointed by him to be the first official muezzin.
Slavery in Islamic Arabia
Early Islamic history
W. Montgomery Watt points out that Muhammad's expansion of Pax Islamica to the Arabian peninsula reduced warfare and raiding, and therefore cut off the basis for enslaving freemen. According to Patrick Manning, Islamic legislations against abuse of slaves limited the extent of enslavement in the Arabian peninsula and, to a lesser degree, for the area of the entire Umayyad Caliphate, where slavery had existed since the most ancient times.
According to Bernard Lewis, the growth of internal slave populations through natural increase was insufficient to maintain slave numbers through to modern times, which contrasts markedly with rapidly rising slave populations in the New World. He writes that
Liberation by freemen of their own offspring born by slave mothers was "the primary drain".
Liberation of slaves as an act of piety, was a contributing factor. Other factors include:
Castration: A fair proportion of male slaves were imported as eunuchs. Levy states that according to the Quran and Islamic traditions, such emasculation was objectionable. Some jurists such as [al-Baydawi considered castration to be mutilation, stipulating laws to prevent it. However, in practice, emasculation was frequent. In eighteenth-century Mecca, the majority of eunuchs were in the service of the mosques. Moreover, the process of castration (which included penectomy) carried a high risk of death.[citation needed]
Liberation of military slaves: Military slaves that rose through the ranks were usually liberated at some stage in their careers.
Restrictions on procreation: Among the menial, domestic, and manual worker slaves, casual sex was not permitted and marriage was not encouraged.
High death toll: There was a high death toll among all classes of slaves. Slaves usually came from remote places and, lacking immunities, died in large numbers. Segal notes that the recently enslaved, weakened by their initial captivity and debilitating journey, would have been easy victims of an unfamiliar climate and infection. Children were especially at risk, and the Islamic market demand for children was much greater than the American one. Many black slaves lived in conditions conducive to malnutrition and disease, with effects on their own life expectancy, the fertility of women, and the infant mortality rate. As late as the 19th century, Western travellers in North Africa and Egypt noted the high death rate among imported black slaves.
Another factor was the Zanj Rebellion against the plantation economy of ninth-century southern Iraq. Due to fears of a similar uprising among slave gangs occurring elsewhere, Muslims came to realize that large concentrations of slaves were not a suitable organization of labour and that slaves were best employed in smaller concentrations. As such, large-scale employment of slaves for manual labour became the exception rather than the norm, and the medieval Islamic world did not need to import vast numbers of slaves.

Bernard Lewis writes: "In one of the sad paradoxes of human history, it was the humanitarian reforms brought by Islam that resulted in a vast development of the slave trade inside, and still more outside, the Islamic empire." He notes that the Islamic injunctions against the enslavement of Muslims led to the massive importation of slaves from the outside. According to Patrick Manning, Islam by recognizing and codifying slavery seems to have done more to protect and expand slavery than the reverse.
The 'Arab' slave trade was part of the broader 'Islamic' slave trade. Bernard Lewis writes that "polytheists and idolaters were seen primarily as sources of slaves, to be imported into the Islamic world and molded-in Islamic ways, and, since they possessed no religion of their own worth the mention, as natural recruits for Islam." Patrick Manning states that religion was hardly the point of this slavery. Also, this term suggests comparison between Islamic slave trade and Christian slave trade. Propagators of Islam in Africa often revealed a cautious attitude towards proselytizing because of its effect in reducing the potential reservoir of slaves.[
According to Ronald Segal, the male:female gender ratio of slaves in Islamic lands was 1:2.
Dhows were used to transport goods and slaves to Oman.
In the 8th century, Africa was dominated by Arab-Berbers in the north: Islam moved southwards along the Nile and along the desert trails. One supply of slaves was the Solomonic dynasty of Ethiopia which often exported Nilotic slaves from their western borderland provinces, or from newly conquered or reconquered Muslim provinces. Native Muslim Ethiopian sultanates exported slaves as well, such as the sometimes independent sultanate of Adal.
For a long time, until the early 18th century, the Crimean Khanate maintained a massive slave trade with the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East. Between 1530 and 1780 there were almost certainly 1 million and quite possibly as many as 1.25 million white, European Christians enslaved by the Muslims of the Barbary Coast of North Africa.

On the coast of the Indian Ocean too, slave-trading posts were set up by Muslim Arabs. The archipelago of Zanzibar, along the coast of present-day Tanzania, is undoubtedly the most notorious example of these trading colonies. Southeast Africa and the Indian Ocean continued as an important region for the Oriental slave trade up until the 19th century. Livingstone and Stanley were then the first Europeans to penetrate to the interior of the Congo basin and to discover the scale of slavery there. The Arab Tippu Tib extended his influence and made many people slaves. After Europeans had settled in the Gulf of Guinea, the trans-Saharan slave trade became less important. In Zanzibar, slavery was abolished late, in 1897, under Sultan Hamoud bin Mohammed. The rest of Africa had no direct contact with Muslim slave-traders.
Roles
While slaves were employed for manual labour during the Arab slave trade, although most agricultural labor in the medieval Islamic world consisted of paid labour. Exceptions include the plantation economy of southern Iraq (which led to the Zanj Revolt), in 9th-century Ifriqiya (modern-day Tunisia), and in 11th-century Bahrain (during the Karmatian state).
Roles of slaves
A system of plantation labor, much like that which would emerge in the Americas, developed early on, but with such dire consequences that subsequent engagements were relatively rare and reduced. Slaves in Islam were mainly directed at the service sector – concubines and cooks, porters and soldiers – with slavery itself primarily a form of consumption rather than a factor of production. The most telling evidence for this is found in the gender ratio; among slaves traded in Islamic empire across the centuries, there were roughly two females to every male. Outside of explicit sexual slavery, most female slaves had domestic occupations. Often, this also included sexual relations with their masters. This was a lawful motive for their purchase, and the most common one.
Military service was also a common role for slaves. Barbarians from the "martial races" beyond the frontiers were widely recruited into the imperial armies. These recruits often advanced in the imperial and eventually metropolitan forces, sometimes obtaining high ranks.
Arab views on African peoples
Abdelmajid Hannoum, a professor at Wesleyan University, states that racist attitudes were not prevalent until the 18th and 19th century. According to Arnold J. Toynbee: "The extinction of race consciousness as between Muslims is one of the outstanding achievements of Islam and in the contemporary world there is, as it happens, a crying need for the propagation of this Islamic virtue."
In 2010, at the Second Afro-Arab summit Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi apologized for Arab involvement in the African slave trade, saying: "I regret the behavior of the Arabs... They brought African children to North Africa, they made them slaves, they sold them like animals, and they took them as slaves and traded them in a shameful way. I regret and I am ashamed when we remember these practices. I apologize for this."
I would add that the Democrats want us to believe that America is a bad place because it adopted slavery. America is not a bad place. It recognized that slavery did not align with the constitution which guaranteed the freedoms of all Americans. A war was fought and it was eliminated. Slavery was defeated in the United States.

America had slavery at one time. So did virtually every other civilization ever put on earth. Where we are unique is we actually fought a Civil War that ended it.

Randy, As far as I know, critical race theory is only taught in law schools and a few graduate courses. I was a history major and never heard of this theory until recently. This is not taught in any public school system in the country. It is just another piece of bs that the Trump cult has thrown out there to distract and/or misinform people of the terrible truth about Trump.

You are such an indoctrinated loser. Of course they are trying to teach it. Try watching a school board meeting on U-Tube or Google it. Personally I just think you are a liar. I know teachers in Virginia (one example) that are being told they must teach this.

Sorry, Saltwind, but Mr. Flores is right. You are 1. Completely isolated and pay no attention to current news or 2. Willfully wearing blinders and only listen to the leftist narrative. or 3. Lying through your teeth and assuming no one will notice.
You have every right to hate Trump, if you so choose. You do NOT have the right to be lie to people on OPP to justify your emotional constipation.

Before you make a stupid statement that CRT is not tied to federal funds, check out the 1619 project which provides funds for schools that teach CRT.
Tommy Tuberville and several other Republicans in Alabama are railing to “kill the Bill!” by replacing it with a “Save American History Bill.” You need to read the facts before you broadcast false posts.
Perhaps you should change your name from “saltwind” to “blowhard!”
You can check out this story in the recent article in Newsweek magazine if you want to get up to speed on the subject!

You use a litany of words that indicate you have no clue what "it" is.
Teachers could talk about a hundred things involving the shift from being indentured servants to slaves, the oppositions to newly freed slaves actually being treated as equals, the eras of segregation, none of this has anything to do with the actual theory of critical race theories...but all of these things have the right objecting to the teaching of history.

These Democrats are funding the teaching of communist doctrine which is to create divisions amongst black and white people, just one of their building blocks for achieving a socialist and communist society by creating an environment of chaos amongst the general public. The bad part of this is that you are too stupid to recognize it and the worst part is that you actually support it.

You are so wrong. The Marxist tenants of CRT are being taught in almost every school across America.
