That your ancestors and mine could be savage, we have no doubt. Do you think Mansa Mansa Musa's slaves were treated well?

The Undefeated shares the usual links and omits the Time refutal. The most interesting one is the zoo story, but that also lacks details, like the names of the children and why their parents or guardians at the zoo allowed that to happen.

Here's the penultimate paragraph of the Snopes article: "We checked this conclusion with folkorist and African American studies professor Patricia Turner, who has probably done more research on the “alligator bait” motif than anyone else in the world, and asked her if she had ever come across information suggesting that the phenomenon might be real. “I have not seen any evidence to suggest that it was true,” she said, adding that it would have been all the more unlikely during the era of slavery, when a black child would have been a much more valuable commodity than an alligator."

The blacknews piece is all classic urban legends with unconvincing details if you think about them. Why, for example, would the killers skin and cook people they fed to hogs?

HVK uses the usual links and omits the Time refutal.

Blockpaperonline is yet another roundup of the usual links.

Remember that the people who believed in the Jewish blood lbiel also share things that they claim are proof.
