We have all been so trained to automatically blame America for slavery, it is quite sad. To be honest it's sickening.

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.

I put one question in the middle, just one. It's the one question people would object to. Why?

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.

Repentance is a virtue, not a weakness.

After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, I researched other prior ones...including Lincoln’s. His was especially devastating and arguably set back race relations in our country for a century. Southern Reconstruction was a disaster. And the sin of slavery remained a stain just as Lincoln had called it.

The slavery issue remains a horrible thing in world history.

I remember as a 22 year old watching the first episode of the tv mini series ‘Roots’.

I saw a white dude capture a black teen by roping him. I ignorantly assumed that was commonplace in the rounding up of slaves. It was years later that I learned that warring African tribes sold captured young blacks to white slave traders.

And when blacks claim that in Bible times the 12 tribes of Israel and the Egyptians were black, I offer the question: “So when the Israelites were slaves to the Egyptians for centuries, was that a black on black crime?”
