'Disgusting': Black Republicans livid over DeSantis' slavery attack

[Tinkerpeach]

What a stupid ignorant cracka

Rice, okra , watermelons , yams were all brought to America by the slaves

Sure, so the masters of the slave boats allowed slaves to bring on fruits and vegetables.

You are ignorant of history.

You are saying no white person knew how to grow a watermelon before blacks came over.

That's hilarious.

Never knew that about rice. I thought it had to be grown in flooded areas.

Enslaved Africans also brought watermelon, okra, yams, black-eyed peas and some peppers.

And one that nobody ever thinks about...the banjo

So you enjoy being raped and separated from your family.

You are one odd individual

I've been raped, I don't consider it torture.

It was an act of violence.

Slaves didn't introduce anything, they were bought to produce crops already established in the US.

Perhaps after slavery when they worked their own land they may have but not initially.

"You can thank enslaved Africans for one of America's most iconic drinks: Coca-Cola.“The base ingredient in Coca-Cola is the kola nut that’s indigenous to Africa," says Frederick Opie, professor of history and foodways at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and the author of several books, including "Hog and Hominy: Soul Food from Africa to America."
Since the 17th century, when Africans were forced into slavery in the New World, they and their descendants have had a profound impact on what Americans grow and eat. Watermelon, okra, yams, black-eyed peas and some peppers are all indigenous to Africa."

Many of our crops are from other regions.

What is your point?

We couldn't discover them without the slave trade?

I did, I learned how the law works.

My point was that slaves learned farming in Africa, not the American colonies.

If Africans know how to farm then why are so many of them starving?

And now you're a lawyer?
