ORIGINAL: BamaD Fifteen million blacks were transported as slaves to the Americas. You think that's just a bump that will go away if we say oh, hey, sorry about that? You lay the 15,000,000 squarely at the feet of the U S and the reason for blacks to resent white people. So did you want us to believe that all 15,000,000 were transported to the U S or do you actually think that the U S should somehow be held responsible for the actions of Brazil. Or do you think that every white person is responsible for the actions of any other white person. I do not. It is only that simple if you look at it from a nationalist defensive posture. It is an international, historical problem of colonization and racialism that began on the shores of West Africa and with the brutal enslavement of Caribbean indios by Columbus. It is the story of the continuing systemic subjugation of people of color by white people here in America, in Australia, Britain, and in Latin America. And it erupts in violence in our cities and ring suburbs where blacks feel they are incarcerated in their own neighborhoods by brutal police practices. It takes on a different face in Mexico where drug cartels are heroes to the indigenous people and in Guatemala, Hondurus, Peru, etc., where the first people have been treated terribly by the white skinned descendants of Spanish conquistadors. So, I do not lay it all on the United States. We are just a part of the broader world history of racial abuses of people of color. I'm going to call BS again. Jees you do love your socialist revised history. Slavery was the condition of the world from the start of the world. Columbus didn't invent it. Everyone who concurred anyone took the indigenous people into slavery. The Vikings made a lot of money doing that sort of thing all over Europe. Rome depopulated Gaul. That sort of thing was done everywhere and didn't stop until white, euoropean males, mostly Christian, figured out it was immoral and stopped it. Let us be fair, White people didn't put an end to slavery, it is still common in Africa and as you say it existed long before Europeans discovered the market.
