Too bad nobody watches CNN anymore.

This idea that white people captured poor innocent black people and sold them into slavery was perpetrated by the movie Roots I believe. Now it's taken as fact by many in the US because that's all people hear about it, the fake version.

The writer of Roots was shown to have plagiarized one small section of the book but he got off by saying that his notes got mixed in with notes from other books. So I'm saying that he was less than meticulous with preparation of the book.

Or he was just a con-artist

I was giving him the benefit of the doubt since his excuse had plausible deniability. But, yes. Even the plantation owners were often Jews.
