The story of the slaves in America begins with Christopher Columbus. His voyage to America was not financed by Queen Isabella, but by Luis de Santangelo, who advanced the sum of 17,000 ducats (about 5,000 pounds-today equal to 50,000 pounds) to finance the voyage, which began on August 3, 1492.
Columbus was accompanied by five 'maranos' (Jews who had foresworn their religion and supposedly became Catholics), Luis de Torres, interpreter, Marco, the surgeon, Bemal, the physician, Alonzo de la Calle and Gabriel Sanchez (1).

This article is just one of many
by Kaveh Nouraee on Tue Nov 18, 2008 04:01 PM PSTThe website it comes from is the work of a complete nut job.
This was the most disgusting article/blog I've ever read
by American Wife on Tue Nov 18, 2008 03:41 PM PSTThere are so many untruths, I don't know where to begin.

by Kaveh Nouraee on Tue Nov 18, 2008 12:25 PM PSTThese articles aren't so much anti-American as they are anti-human!
Unfortunately, the issue of race wa raised, because unlike the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the world, there's a guy who didn't use race as an excuse for failure. The great thing is that he's the exception to the rule. The flip side is that as the exception, he proved the rule.

by American Wife on Mon Nov 17, 2008 06:57 PM PSTBut what a wonderful opportunity it is for US... right here on IC... right now, to proclaim OUR peaceful, respectful and hopefully one day soon cooexistence together as friends.
It's not too much to expect... after all, as you said, we just elected an African-American as President of the United States.
Stay the course, my friends!
Its so pathetic that these
by Farhad Kashani on Mon Nov 17, 2008 05:10 PM PSTIts so pathetic that these Iran and U.S haters, just couple of weeks after the election of an African American to the presidency, which is celebrtaed by the world, post anti American articles about "slavery" and post it under "News" section nonetheless!!!!
That is just pure sad. I feel sorry for these guys. This irrational hate is absolutely destroying them.
Yes!
by Kaveh Nouraee on Mon Nov 17, 2008 04:21 PM PSTIt was 1619 and there were 19 or 20 of them, brought to Jamestown, Virginia.
Man, I'm having flashbacks of my high school history class. Mr. Jack Stout, my history teacher, may he rest in peace. He used to bum cigarettes from me before class.
He had this fantastic collection of history films with Alistair Cooke narrating. In the second semester we focused on the Great Depresssion and Prohibition. He almost cried when he talked about how hard it was to score a bottle of gin back then. LOL
But, leave it to a collection of wack jobs who want to pin the blame for slavery on the Jews. They'll even say it was a plot by the Mossad, 300 plus years before Israel even existed.
Man oh man oh Manischewitz these people don't give up.
correct
by American Wife on Mon Nov 17, 2008 04:01 PM PSTand did you know that it was a Dutch ship in the 1600's who actually brought the first boatload of slaves to the America's!
Who brought the slaves?
by Kaveh Nouraee on Mon Nov 17, 2008 03:38 PM PSTIt was Africans who sold their own countrymen into slavery.
Black Africans were sold to white Europeans by other black Africans.
whoa
by American Wife on Mon Nov 17, 2008 02:56 PM PSTIs this article trying to suggest that JEWS brought the first slaves to America?
I've got the hear this one...lol
