Of course, you all realize that MOST slaves were not hunted down in the jungle by armed evil white men, but were purchased by them as they were ALREADY SLAVES. African tribal leaders made fortunes. But, shhhh! We're not supposed to talk about that part.
shareIt would probably mess with a lot of black peoples' heads if they knew the guy who owned the largest slave plantation in the 1800s (with both black and white slaves) was a black man! Or that native American tribes also kept slaves before the Civil War. The very first trial in America over slave ownership involved a black slave owner!
There's a reason public schools have had the curriculum so heavily re-written. If the peasants knew some of the realities of history, they might get seizures.
My British ancestors were enslaved by the Romans. Italy owes me.
