It certainly does. He made no apologies, just a statement of fact and that the acceptance of slavery in the minds of modern people has not diminished; it is just that they can no longer practice it. Even 500 years ago it was fine with many of the black tribes, as long as it wan’t them or theirs who were being enslaved. Any american black looking for reparations should first look to the still existing tribes in Africa and then to the democrat party, the party of slavery.
Wonder why they aren’t including the Arabs who still practice it. Will they mention the Africans who entered into business with the Europeans and Arabs to sell their own. They should have that professor, Henry Louis Gates, that Obama “defended” from the cop. He did a documentary years ago, in which he went to one of the towns from which slaves were shipped. His escort was a woman who taught him the history of her African and Portugese ancestors. When asked what Africans think of regarding the descendants of those slaves, she replied (after a very long pause), “We don’t.”
