Yet dare we impugn these “Sons of Obama”, in their quest to right such historical wrongs as:

Rep. John Lewis (D-GA): “100,000,000 slaves were thrown overboard by slavers trying to avoid capture by British naval ships that were enforcing the empires ban on slavery.”

(Real estimates of the total number of slaves over a 300 year period range from 2-12.5 million. Britain outlawed the slave trade in 1807. In the same year the US prohibited the further importation of slaves, though it was not entirely enforced, it strongly reduced the trade.)
