What is particularly tiresome is this attempt, for modern political reasons, to rewrite history to make certain race and ethnic groups eternal victims. Well historic facts don't fit the current PC dogmas.
There were Jewish slave owners, their were Black slave owners. Their were Black soldiers in the Confederate army. Their were Jewish soldiers in the Confederate army. Their were Jewish slave traders, their were Black slave traders. Most of the blacks sold into slavery were war captives taken by other blacks and sold to white slavers. All groups have been oppressed, and oppressor, in history. NO race or ethic groups is pure and innocent.
This constant attempt to rewrite history to validate current political dogmas is childish and really must stop.

You’re absolutely correct but the temptation to continue the feud appears stronger among some than to stand united against our foes.

All groups have been oppressed, and oppressor, in history. NO race or ethic groups is pure and innocent. Exactly. And the most recalcitrant group of slave traders is in northeast Africa-- the Sudan region today and the Kenyan region in the 1880's when British warships had to patrol the coast and later even put the country under colonial administration to end the sorry practice.
How ironic it is that we have a Kenyan in the white house still engaging in a whole new level of slave trading.

Yes, everyone just needs to regurgitate the same tired Yankee rationalizations that you have memorized.
