Whites didn’t invent slavery???

Slavery is as old as mankind.

Can’t understand the distinction of chattel slavery. By definition, slaves are owned, otherwise they would not be slaves.

“ Black history in America tries to argue that slavery is the key to all US history”

In a way, it was. 2/3 of all European immigrants prior to 1776 were “involuntary” indentured servants (i.e, people the Brits rounded up and pressed into service).

The raw numbers dwarf the 300,000 black slaves.

Respectfully, untrue in the past.

“By 1830, there were 3,775 black (including mixed-race) slaveholders in the South who owned a total of 12,760 slaves; around 2 million in the south. [6] 80% of the black slaveholders were located in Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.”

I saw this days ago and the comments were incredibly ignorant. Many were saying none of what the man said was true, that only Europeans enslaved people, other places slaves were temporary servants, yada yada yada.

Never mind all you need to do is crack open any ancient text to read all about slaves.

When I was in the Ivory Coast, as we drove through villages, my interpreter would explain to me that they used to be his ancestors slaves.

True, but there are still plenty who are ignorant of the facts regarding slavery.

Of you read the comment, most of the poster don’t believe him. The lie that Whites are responsible for world wide slavery is well ingrained after years of propaganda and leftist education.

They think he’s lying about the British ban, give short shrift to the Civil War and ignore the history of the Muslim slave trade. One person even commented that Mohamed ended slavery. I’m sure a lot of women from the near east back in the day would disagree and so would the Janissaries’.

But are you aware of who committed the first recorded school shooting in the U.S? But officially, it wasn't yet America, it was still a British colony.

The first recorded school shooting in the United States, often cited as one of the earliest known incidents globally, occurred on July 26, 1764, during Pontiac's Rebellion.

Four Lenape Native Americans attacked a schoolhouse near present-day Greencastle, Pennsylvania, killing schoolmaster Enoch Brown and nine or ten children.

This event is considered the earliest documented shooting on school property in U.S. history.

While school shootings in other countries have been recorded later—such as the first documented school shooting in Germany in 1913:

— the 1764 Pennsylvania attack is frequently referenced as the earliest known instance.

I gave this information to my college educated brother a few years ago and he called me a liar. We don’t communicate anymore.
