I implied no such thing. Look, when we talk about slavery in this country, everyone knows whom we’re talking about. It ain’t the Irish, the Amish, or the Aztecs. It was significant and memorable because there was a hellish war fought over it that brought the death of some 600,000, a constitutional amendment, a presidential assassination, and ceaseless reparative legislation and supreme court precedent have evolved from it.

At any rate, my point was clearly NOT about slavery per se.

Slavery, like nooses and racism is a “black thing”. No one else can be a slave, be hung, or be the object of “racism”.
