Nothing on how African tribes sold blacks into slavery. Nothing on the muslims taking more black (and white) slaves than in all of North America. Nothing on how free blacks owned slaves. Nothing on the half million mostly white men who died freeing the slaves...

That didn't happen. White Americans went to Africa and captured blacks in nets like butterflies and then brought them back to America to sell them, or at least that was what I was taught in Publik Skool. ;)

Great Points.

Here's another. My and my husbands white ancestors died in the Civil War. They were volunteers. How about some reparations for the families of the dead soldiers who fought, knowing that their victory would result in freeing the slaves?
