In 1685 in the wake of the Monmouth Rebellion 850 men in Taunton were enslaved and transported to the West Indies.

You reminded me of one of my favorite authors, Rafael Sabatini, and his historical novel of that period, which I particularly like; I am fond of all of his books.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Blood_(novel)

Sabatini was a proponent of basing historical fiction as closely as possible on history. Although Blood is a fictional character, much of the historical background of the novel is based on fact.[1] The Monmouth rebels were sold into slavery as described in the book; and the shifting political alliances of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 are used in the novel as a plot device to allow Blood’s return to respectability.

A provocative thought, and for some of the activists I suspect it is true, even if they are not consciously aware that is what they are doing.
For others, it’s a deliberate outcome.

I guess CNN reported it last month. If it was front page news, I missed it.

Thank Gaia for the mentally, emotionally, and morally ill … they add so much to our lives …

That is one aim but it is also important for the black activists to credit themselves with more importance and potential wealth (reparations) they have not earned. The white leftists who, for example, have established a separate Physics course for “Diversity” allowing the unqualified to pretend they are capable of merit.

One would hope such “diversity projects” would include a label indicating which bridges or airplanes have been designed by such graduates.

As it is, it’s only because of pressure from the West that slavery is (technically) prohibited in the Muslim world today. China has also been dabbling in pseudo-slavery in Africa for decades, but has found the labor lacking.

Because of the false accusations, many whites will feel bad, and many of these will find comfort in white nationalism. The NYT and the Dems want there to be white nationalists, so as to have an Enemy to hate.

The real purpose is to increase white nationalism, and tribal hate between varying Americans. They lie to themselves to avoid “seeing” their real purpose. In their minds, their pure intentions are better than any impure acceptance of actual reality. (Is lying to yourself “thinking”? … earlier post)

They have an emotional need to hate Reps, and creating white nationalists is to help satisfy their emotional need to hate the Other.
