Come on Hoss ,lets lighten up a bit,
Yeah: I agree shackles on tennis shoes is a bit stupid, However you description of the atrocities laid on slaves is a bit much.Few slaves experienced the strocities in this country that Christians today are experienceing in Muslim countries. In all the stories I have read of slave I don’t remember reading of beheadings mutilations and being blown to kingdomome by suicide bombers. I don’t remember reading of hand and arms being cut off, Those are the most horrific atrocities imaginable.
Yes some were beaten ,treated badly, raped and sold by their owners away from their families, but some were a part of the family they served.
I am not defending slavery in any form, but your description of the most horrific atrocities imaginable do not rivel Muslim atrocities going on today in Middle Eastern or countries where slavery still exists.
