And I laughed at their arguments then as now ...
Oh I have heard that one too many times to count. Liberals love to blame everything on Europeans and their descendants. Odd to me that liberals that believe such things so strongly would choose to live in Europe or the United States when they should be much happier elsewhere.
In Africa their own tribal warfare is what made the slave trade possible. Though I guess if you look at the options they had back then if another tribe defeated yours in battle you would either be murdered or captured for slavery. Impossible to calculate how many lives were saved by slavery. Tell that to a liberal ranting about colonialism. I have, it is fun.
I am not arguing for slavery, that is just the truth of what happened.
Illegal immigration is indeed a form of modern slavery, yet liberals are the ones that support it. No way to understand the liberal mind.
