So if slavery was so bad back then why did 75% of slaves stay on their plantations 10 years after they were freed? Fact is they had a better life and better masters than they had in Africa.

So why are you not up in arms about African slave trade going on today? Shouldn’t you be stopping that rather than running around with a 150 yr old chip on your shoulder?

I’m sure those who lived under the USSR could say their life was better under Communism and they didn’t leave because life wasn’t so bad too.

Arab Muslims are buying and selling black African slaves today. Today. June 25, 2015. Today. As in right now. Right this minute. Today. This second.

And who cares?

Hint: no one.
