Totally ignoring the fact that those black men and women bought and sold were sold the very first time by other black men.
Also totally ignoring the fact that the sale and purchase of black men and women is going on THIS VERY DAY STILL in the Dark Continent.
Pitts treats these tales as if they are valuable heirlooms to be passed down from generation to generation. Or perhaps he thinks of them as being like large blocks of blue chip stocks, certain to return dividends year after year in the form of affirmative action quotas and set asides.
And ignoring also the fact that slavery has been happening since the beginning, that white people also sold white people into slavery, and that America has done more to make up for its slavery past than any other country in the history of the world...
But no...keep telling me about how it is all the fault of America and white men.
