There’s no point in allowing this to escalate.
I am aware that there was slavery in the world prior to 1619. Europeans held other Europeans in slavery, American Indians practiced slavery. The Arabs had (have) been practicing black slavery since antiquity.
However, the mantra of “four hundred years of bondage” has no applicability to black slavery in the region that is now the United States, and I’m getting pretty tired of hearing it.
