President Joe Biden toured the National Museum of Slavery in Angola’s capital of Luanda on Tuesday, delivering a speech in which he described slavery as America’s “original sin” and claiming it still taints American public discourse.

“The United States is founded on an idea, one embedded in our Declaration of Independence, that all men and women are created equal. It is abundantly clear today we have not lived up to that idea, but we have not fully walked away from it either,” Biden said.

I guess he does not want to offend the Middle East and elsewhere where slavery was practiced long before America was discovered and settled and where it continues to even this day.

He should give a full pardon retroactive for the United States. I think he can do that.

"I have learned that while history can be hidden, it cannot and should not be erased. It should be faced. It’s our duty to face our history – the good, the bad and the ugly, the whole truth."

Seriously? Is now biden afraid of being erased from history by his eraser wokeys?

I am truly sickened by anyone on this thread who was alive during slavery and owned slaves.

I can’t abide it.

But slavery is America’s original sin.

When the United States was founded, slavery was legal everywhere in the world. The first country to ban slavery was Haiti in 1804.

Luanda, the present day capital of Angola, was major slavery hub.
It was a Portuguese colony.
Locals sold their fellow countrymen to slavery.
Portuguese boats ship them to Brazil.
I do not believe, Americans were involved in Angola’s slave trade at all? (Correct me if you know otherwise)

Get over it! Slavery ended nearly two centuries ago.

If anything, Europeans were the most merciful. The others didn’t have survivors or descendants to complain.

“I am honored to be with you today. The United States has had a long tradition of honoring the LGBQTDEI community of Angola. In fact, the, uh, delivery van…vehicle. Truck or whatever… Airplane. (Thank you.) That dropped a nuke on those sneaky cabbinals—God rest my uncle Ambrose—was called the Angolan Gay. …Got ‘em twice! *Henh!* They surrendered. No joke!” —Go Brandon
