The truth is that everybody has slaves in their ancestry if you go back a while. Slavery was the normal practice of all civilizations during recorded history. The black Africans where just the ones in the barrel when the practice was abolished in Christian countries in the 18th -19th centuries. The idea that slavery was some kind of ‘original sin’ in America is a-historical nonsense.
