Every time slavery is mentioned a group of freeper jump on it and point out who else had slaves. As if someone else having slaves made what these people did right. That if you can point the finger elsewhere it makes the entire process somehow right.
Slavery is never right. I agree.
In the national discourse I think that slavery has become a “white man” sin.
When of course it is a world-wide and current as well as historical sin.
As the white parent of four adopted black babies reading Sowell’s Cultures trilogy put slavery into international focus and perspective for me and allowed me to step back from the American experience as the only or worst example of the evils of slavery.
In this world of increasing racial polarization I think we need to take a long view to counter the Marxist Cultural leftist fascists historical reinterpretations.
Thus I think here at FR there is an attempt to balance the common and preponderate cultural perspective by leaning the other way.
What have other nations done to stop it? What other “right” things have other slave owning countries done to insure the practice stops dead in its tracks? Unenforced laws and obfuscation to those who try to undermine centuries of injustice to their fellow man? Thats precisely why we point fingers.
