n June, President Barack Obama, appearing at the University of Cairo, said: “I know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story. . . And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States.” Muslims have not always been part of America’s story. No Muslims took part in the Revolutionary War. No Muslims fought during the Civil War. No Muslims numbered among the ranks of U.S. soldiers in World War I. No Muslims served the U.S. military in World War II or the Korean Conflict. Muslims only became a sizable and significant after 1965 – – thanks to the revised Immigration and Naturalization Act. An African Asks Some Disturbing Questions of Islam Now Barack has made another historical boo-boo that was not corrected by any silver haired scholar or talking head on cable news. He announced that “unique African American culture existed in North America for hundreds of years before we actually founded the nation.” Such a statement might be acceptable coming from Uncle Remus but not the President of the United States, who is expected to be somewhat knowledgeable and reasonably intelligent. The failure of academics and journalists to correct the continuous historical errors of the Commander in Chief may reflect the sorry fact that one in four Americans never cracks open a book or reads a newspaper. African Americans were not brought here in chains by the Pilgrims and the Puritans. Nor did they number among the Spanish at St. Augustine, the Dutch in New Amsterdam, or the French at Parris Island.

The first black slaves arrived in America in the early years of the 17th Century. At the time of the ratification of the Constitution in 1788, there were less than 50,000 slaves in America – – and the vast majority of them were white. Sorry, Barack, but white slavery pre-dates black slavery in America. This fact has been verified by forensic evidence from archaeological digs and historical documents uncovered by contemporary scholars, including Don Jordan and Michael Walsh inWhite Cargo (New York University Press: 2009). The white slaves not indentured, who began to arrive here in 1618, included hundreds of children – – waifs and strays – - who had been rounded up from streets of London to serve wealthy farmers in Virginia. Other slaves came from the ranks of the homeless and the poor, whom King James I held responsible for spreading the plague, and from England’s swelling prison population. The scheme was supported by James I, who believed the homeless and itinerant of London were spreading plague. Of the first 300 white slaves to land in Virginia, only 12 managed to survive four years. The others died of ill treatment, disease, attack by native Americans or overwork. Contemporary records show that one child victim, Elizabeth Abbott, was beaten to death when her master ordered her to be given 500 lashes for running away. At least 70,000 white men, women, and children from England and Ireland were shipped to the colonies to be sold as slaves on the auction block during the 170 years of British rule.
