by Eli Faber, the notorious nazi jew....
If he was a stormfag, do you think he'd give a shit about someone owning a negro?
>In response to the outrageous accusations leveled against Jews by Nation of Islam preachers and some other black nationalists, this scrupulously researched book details the actual role Jews played in the Atlantic slave trade. Faber, a professor of history at the City University of New York, has pored over tax records shipping manifests, Royal Naval Office records, and contemporary accounts of Jewish life to discover the unsurprising truth: the majority of Jews in England's Caribbean and North American colonies were merchants and tradesmen, lived in towns rather than on farms or plantations and owned approximately the same number of slaves as their non-Jewish town-dwelling neighbors. The Sephardic Jews' knowledge of languages and their family and religious connections to communities all over the world gave them advantages as traders, but they preferred to import fabrics and silver rather than slaves. While some Jews did engage in the slave trade, and a large number of Jewish households in Jamaica and Barbados owned a few slaves, the tiny number of Jews living in the English colonies at the time made their involvement minimal. The slave trade was run by and for the benefit of non-Jews, and was finally brought to an end by the same people. Packed with statistics (one-half of the book is appendices and footnotes), this isn't easy reading, but Faber's scholarship is stunning. One of the most interesting aspects of the book is the insight it gives into historical research. If those claiming the Jews enslaved millions of Africans can't discover the truth, it's because they don't want to.

Your numbers near the end are discredited. They come from the Nation of Islam, a black supremacist group.
> So, genuinely curious, do you have any historical proof for these claims?

And there's a hell of a lot more if you start to read up on it.
> You don’t understand statistics and unfortunately, as good a historian as he is, he also doesn’t understand statistics.
You're the one who "cited" the book, dude.
> 40% of Jews owning slaves in America means if Jews HAD BEEN of the same population size as European whites the slave trade would have been roughly 200 times larger than it was.
That is absolutely not how statistics work. Like, at all.
> Israel is also the world’s largest hub for sex trafficking today so fuck you and your pathetic attempt to reframe this shit.
Without even bothering to ask you where you came up with that bullshit, what does the state of Israel have to do with colonial slavery in the United States?
> Whether you’re a shabbos goy or a Jew I don’t know but since you’re lying about shit to obfuscate the fact that Jews think non-Jews are non-human and therefore ok to enslave I’m going to go ahead and tell you to SHUT YOUR LYING JEWISH MOUTH.
Jesus fucking Christ dude. If you're going to use shitty facts and misrepresentation to try to lay an objective foundation for your blatant anti-Semitism, at least try to keep these violent emotional outbursts to a minimum. I also didn't "lie" about anything, all I did was quote a citation from a Wikipedia article that referenced Faber and the Amazon link for the book you told me to look up.
Jews. Try reading this if you're really some race realist and not a LARPer whose mad at black for literally evrything wrong in your life.
So, like, there is actual scholarship on the question of Jewish participation in slavery:

Funny how these folks prefer weird approximations based on poorly sourced internet numbers.
> Meanwhile, what the mainstream media does not want to tell you is that a huge proportion of the african slave trade was ran by jewish merchants, not by whites.
Not accurate, here's a good source if you'd like to research:
