Oh please. You show your ignorance. Slavery is wrong. We got it. Compassion? Too bad the 500,000 slaves that came here didn't get to go to the middle east instead.
In the Arab world African slaves were highly prized as eunuchs. They were used as guardians of harems and as civil servants, some of whom amassed considerable power. But many young African men died in the process because of inept or infected castration. Now THAT'S compassion! /sarcasm
We both agree that slavery was wrong but do you believe that the South's resistance to the Civil Rights Movement was wrong?
By they way, when you can only compare your culture to Middle Eastern Culture you are not doing a very good job defending your heritage.
