In the history of the world people of all race, creed, and colors have been enslaved. Atrocities of all kinds have happened, people have not only been lynched but butchered by armies and rulers of all stripes. Yet here in America everything is set in Black vs White and Racism is and will be pushed by those very people who say they abhor it.
Witness Kayne West, he is a friend of Trump’s and proclaims it and what happens. He is totally excoriated by the Democrats and the rest of the Left Wing Liberals who practice their Hypocrisy and mendacity everyday.
Slavery is the default throughout human history, not the exception, when you get right down to it. The West ended it. Unfortunately the leftists largely have a lock on what passes for education. They have inculcated the belief in many that slavery was both exclusive only to Blacks and invented in the US. There are no words to describe how vile and disgusting people like that are. Notice they always want to talk about “context”.
Not when it comes to Anerican history. Nope - anybody 250 years ago that doesn’t hold 2018 opinions is fair game. See how that works.
They’ll say “So and so was a Slaveholder!!!” Yep. And you know what? There wasn’t a damn thing they could do about it, practically speaking. Know why? Because slaves were “property”, and were inherited like any thing else. And they were expensive. Consequently, one might find himself the owner of millions of dollars worth of human property! It’s really easy to sit back today and say all those mean ole’ slaveholders should have let them go free.
And do what then, and go where? What would they do? How would they eat? See how that worked? Have any of these asshats ever brought up any of this? Inheritance laws in those days were different.
Debtors prisons were legal and widespread. Rules of inheritance were different. In those days, one inherited debts as well as assets, and were responsible for them. Today of course once the estate is liquidated that’s the end of it.
