Why only the last century? What about all the slave owners in the Middle East today?
p.s. You are aware, aren't you, that some blacks in the south petitioned to go back into slavery to be taken care of.
LadyJane,
I have no sympathy for Slave owners. Just so that I am clear. I am NOT black.
Still, I find slavery offensive. In all forms. By ALL people. It is against God....It is against Humans....
I fully realize that people of all religions and all races had slaves.... and I loathe them all.
Every slave owner that looked a slave in the eye.. when the slave was asking for his freedom.. and denied him.. is culpable....
I don’t for a minute buy this Bull Hockey that people in the 19th century had different values. Many of the slaves spoke English. They would plead for their freedom to the slave owners. The slave owners knew what the slaves wanted.. and yet they denied them.
They are no better than abortonists, murderers, rapists....
Any slave owner of any religion or any race or any nationality... is a pawn of Satan...
This includes white slavers today.. who trade young women from the Eastern Bloc
Sorry for the harsh language.. but slavery and abortion.. are hot topics for me as they both represent an ownership of another human being.. that is only the province of God...
Actually it was the views of Southern democrats.
there were thousands of slave owners who were black. There were slave breeders who were black and who sold their own children into slavery.
Well, they were democrats too, just like Jesse Jackass and Al Sharpton.
some blacks in the south petitioned to go back into slavery to be taken care of.
Yup, once again...typical entitlement democrats.
If you want to get PO'd at someone over slavery, it should be democrats...and, of course, moslems.
And what they continue to do today, although they do not seem to realize it.
