Watch this.
At the time that the U.S. was founded, the day before Independence the British Empire had over 20 slave colonies.
The Empire brought slavery to Jamaica. Nobody objects to this question.
The Empire brought slavery to Barbados. Nobody objects to this question.
The Empire brought slavery to Barbuda. Nobody objects to this question.
The Empire brought slavery to Virginia.
The Empire brought slavery to Antigua. Nobody objects to this question.
The Empire brought slavery to the Bahamas. Nobody objects to this question.
The Empire brought slavery to the Virgin Islands. Nobody objects to this question.

Why on earth would people object to this one question? The answer is: Its our school indoctrination. We all are indoctrinated for decades going back generations to blame America for slavery.
Please, CondoleezzaProtege. Enough blaming America already.
