    The assertion was that the abolition of slavery was unprecedented when America did it. It wasn’t, and I’ve given two examples to prove it. No need for me to fold when I’ve won.

    I wasn't referring to America.
    I clearly said "white folks" and not "white Americans".

    I was in high school when the Islamic Republic of Mauritania finally got around to officially ending slavery... on paper anyway.
    So let that put your "WAY before" into perspective.

    Ok. Whatever. It was abolished in USA way before Mauritania. Happy?

    Slavery was abolished in France in 1315 so I don’t know what you think was unprecedented.

    We have already; the experiment is called Liberia. If you wanna see how it worked out for blacks, check wiki's on this third poorest country of the world.

    I noticed you guys love to talk about how poor Africa is and how Africa isn't a successful continent and blah, blah, blah, why is Africa in the position we find it in today?

    What political party did that to the blacks? What political paryt created Jim Crowe laws? What party did the creators of the KKK belong to? What political party created ghettos and substandard living conditions for blacks? What party pigeon holed blacks and robbed them of employment opportunities? You seem to want to forget that part of the story and blame the party that fought for more than a hundred years for rights of blacks. And you wonder why blacks are still impoverished. You support the same party that has been screwing blacks for "over 376 years".

    Southern whites who were Democrats and Republicans.
    Both parties.

    Both.

    Really, tell me in the last 50yrs what have republicans really ever tried to do for black folks.

    So tell me what the republican party has been doing all this time while you claim democrats were screwing us over.

    The Western world has pretty much raped Africa and left the continent in the position it is in today.

    Why have Africans let themselves be raped and the other people haven't?

    Others have, but unfortunately that is what happens when you take folks in as a friend and they turn on you.

    So, we documented the concept of slavery, that was in play around the globe.

    And, no, not obviously. The constant "America Bad" crowd is effectively brainwashing people. In this case into believing the United States invented slavery.

    The people who desire fundamental change must push an agenda that conveys the US is inherently broken. People dont get behind fixing things that aren't broke.

    Why do you think we have nearly entire generations believing the US is evil? Its all part of the means to an ends.

    Can you quote someone who has said that, funny thing is when folks start talking about the slavery that took place in this country the right wants to start screaming about slavery that has taken place all over the world.

    That is why it never gets fixed, because you have folks they want to claim there isn't a problem.

    I missed that one.

    And where do you think these students got this idea?

    Hint: what is the overwhelming political party in control of our education system.

    Asians were imported and enslaved to build the railroads and other infrastructure. They were incarcerated during WWII. Yet they flock to this country to this day, without an expectation of getting a paycheck for it.

    Why are blacks different?

    ok, **** it. I'll tell you why Superbad.

    Because they feel entitled. They want something for nothing in terms of what they personally experienced. Some black people have a chip on their that somebody owes them something.
    By far and large, if blacks stopped the constant desire to separate themselves from all the other races, with attitude, culture. Etc., maybe the racial tension would diminish.

    The problem is blacks WANT to be different. Have different needs, circumstances, and expectations. BUT if anybody treats them differently, it's racist.

    I'm tired of the bullshit.

    You weren't a slave, I wasn't a slave owner, quit trying to figure out how to get something for nothing.

    Anthony Johnson was responsible for slavery in North America. He was the first legal slave owner and he became the first slave owner while America was still under British rule. He was black too....but let's not talk about that since it doesn't fit the 'all whites are racist' narrative. Blacks started slavery, whites ended it.
