Madness! Slavery was invented by Americans in 1619 because they hated black people!

Heh. One of the Norse sagas supposedly mentions it was a German slave that found the wild grapes that gave Vinland its name.

A perpetuated Vikinophobic lie, based on a mistranslation: the original word wasn't 'slave', but 'immigrant'.
