#2 20% of East Africa's Swahili language comes from Arabic

I'm probably wrong, but I had the definite impression swahili was the pidgin used by slave traders (said slaves being the black africans, of course, which would make the use of swahili by "afrocentric" black americans even more ironical).

#5 Since Swahili is east African, those slaves were sold into Arabia. It is ironic in the same sense some US blacks are turning to islam when it was the muslim Arab slave raiders who sold their ancestors to the white slave traders.

#15 "Created equal" doesn't mean that all men end up equal as adults.

Potential is one thing. Outcome is another.

#16 IE, like "All men are created equal..."

Only in the eyes of the law or the church. Otherwise, complete and total hogwash if applied anywhere else.
