Nor does it make Africans complicit in the truly sickening shit slaves experienced after reaching America's glorious shores, or the US government's continuous engagement in explicitly racist actions well into the 20th century. Government-sanctioned redlining only officially "ended" around 50 years ago.

Thanks for the flip-side.

But, that's not the flip-side, old man. 
It's the sadtruth.

The US continued to enact devastating policies around the notion white supremacy long after slavery ended. 

What, do you think redlining's something folks just made up in order to make poor Gawdzilla Sama feel bad for being born white and having a Kluxxer daddy? 
Or is it that you think Africans are really the ones to blame for Jim Crow as well? Lol

As expected,

Yep, your response certainly is as expected.

The other options being that you were actually a black slave at some point in your life or that you had been commissioned by some agency to do extensive research on slavery in America and have been named an expert on the topic.  'Cause there is nothing that has ever happened in the history of ever that you aren't a supreme authority on.

Legend in your own mind.

Nope it simply doesn't refute my point and by "agenda " you mean holding the  US government responsible for it's role sorry that not an "agenda" that simply a FACT. But nice try

And i'll simply point out that once in the US they were legally allowed to be used as slaves

I think Alex Jones is a shill but he shouldn't be censored. Censorship is BS.

He hasn't been censored.  He's been removed from Facebook.  No one is curtailing his right to speak.

Kind of my point, really.  They were smuggled into the US to be slaves.

Still part of the same government entity
