In fact I hate it. It makes me sick, but it also makes me sick to only credit one society for slavery.
There were slaves in America, there were slaves in Egypt at one time, there were slaves in Africa.
Those aren't all, "the white man."
I don't mind talking about a cause, but you act like the white man is the only one who made mistakes.
Your people were sold into slavery by other tribes of the same country and then asshole slave ships... usually not even Americans and not always white men, brought them to America where other assholes held them in slavery.
My point is, you said, "i don't know, the white people didn't keep track when they were shiping my people over in big ass boats."
Not, "asshole slave traders didn't keep track when they shipped me over."
