Also, I guess slavery didn't exist for anyone else other than Africans throughout history

Yes, and every single one of these slaves shipped to the United States- when it truth less than 5% were imported into the US, the rest (95.3%)went to South American, Cen. American, Cuba and the west indies.

Brazil alone swallowed something like 40% of all African slaves over the centuries, yet there is never any outcry about that b/c Brazil is a poor country. Which proves once again, "Follow the money".

Non the less, this country was founded with an institution in it's midst that was a direct contradiction of it's ideals. That's called hypocracy.

We've dealt and are dealing with that fact- and we're a better country for it.
