Joel McDurmon has taken umbrage at Larry Elder’s comments about the way that slavery is taught as a component of black history. Larry Elder complains that the role of Arabic Muslim slave trading is often ignored in the discussion of slavery during “Black History Month.” Elder is an articulate and intelligent black man who simply points out the oft-ignored reality of Arabic Muslim enslavement of black Africans to put slavery as it was practiced in America into some historical context. One would think that Elder’s comments would be pretty non-controversial. Even mainstream leftists could feign at least token appreciation for Elder’s point without surrendering their disapproval of white America over the question of slavery. But Joel McDurmon is no mainstream leftist. Joel’s anarcho-Marxist tendencies won’t allow him to pass up the opportunity to virtue signal against the “racism” of American slavery in comparison to the rest of the world.
