Re: What Buz Said

Taz writes:

Our very own buz continues to insist that the whities were doing the blackies a favor by kidnapping them from Africa, cramp them onto overcrowded ships, dumping half of them into the sea on their way to North America, and sell them off into American slave markets.

Buz writes:

Slaves in America often fared better then their relatives back in pagan jungles. Slaves in Christian oriented America on the whole, fare better than slaves in pagan nations historically.

And this part of your quote would be you agreeing with Taz's claim.

Were you not intending to prove Taz wrong?

Panda, you need to read all of what I said.
Note that I said, "...........fare better than slaves in pagan nations."

I did read all of what you said.
You also said: "Slaves in America often fared better then their relatives back in pagan jungles."
Thus you proved Taz correct. (And what the hell is a 'pagan jungle'?!)

Buzsaw writes:

Whites, for the most part did not kidnap from blacks. Blacks sold or traded them to white slave traders. Whites certainly would not risk penetrating the jungles of Aftrica to gather slaves.

That is unconnected to Taz's claim regarding your opinions on how 'good' slaves had it.

Buzsaw writes:

No cargo of value, including slaves would be dumped at sea.

Yes they were.
There is even a infamous occurrence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zong_Massacre.

Buzsaw writes:

Such would certainly not be logically common.

And such would not be a real sentence.

Re: What Buz Said

Supposedly slavers also dumped all their slaves in the sea if they feared getting caught by the British or American navy.
