We get wrapped up in the fact that slavery existed here and that it was wrong. What is distorted is that black people have been led to believe that it was a unique problem for ‘blacks in America’. They’re completely unaware that it’s historically a color blind topic and that their own people in Africa rounded them up and sold them out.
The fact that white westerners ENDED slavery in WESTERN nations, while it continues in many countries, is ignored. An African descendant of slavery, here in the USA in 2024, should consider themselves the winner of the jackpot. Yet they’re made to believe they’re an ‘oppressed victim’, it’s insanely distorted and media driven for political gain. They stoke the emotions of black people to drive behavior, to make them vote a certain way. It’s evil and all about power and money. Yet many of them don’t see this. Thank you public ‘education’.
Maybe we should have a government program, taxpayer funded, for a free year-long, basic living expenses paid, trip to an African country (as government money, apparently, has no limits). Go and see what you’d otherwise be and how you’d live. Stay if you want.
Yes racism exists - but it doesn’t hold anyone down and most of it is currently coming from black people.
slavery is ageless. When one warring band defeated another the losers were either killed or enslaved. Every civilization that fought each other enslaved the losers. There was no race involved. Genetically the capture of women was probably beneficial to the gene pool. Lots of ancient DNA shows women from other lineages than the population as a whole. They didn’t get there by winning a bachelorette contest.
