Did you know that during the great age of Piracy (1714-1724), about a quarter of the pirate crews were blacks- mostly runaway slaves. Blackbeard usually had a crew of 50% black. Think of how terrifing it must of been to see Blackbeard with matches burning in his beard allong with his many black pirates boarding your ship!
In the next sequal of Pirates of the Carribean, I want to see a lot of black faces on Captain Jack Sparrow's ship!
Ain't Black history fun!

I knew there were black pirates, i was never aware of the exact number though. Jews, blacks, scots, englishmen, irish, french,spanish maybe? (Although the Spanish Galleons were the ones being attacked)all made up pirate ships. All were after "booty"

There were actually more black pirates overall in history, it just hidden from the actual truth of many blacks being bad, just don't tell that to the liberal media. Just look at what's happening now off the coasts of East and West Africa.
