It certainly gets more attention than the Holocaust, and slavery in the rest of the Western Hemisphere is hardly acknowledged. Was it that much worse than in the sugar cane fields of the Caribbean or the silver mines of Mexico? How about Brazil, which didn't abolish slavery until the 1880s? Why is it that African Americans are considered to be the world's most oppressed people? Is this continuing drum beat based on reality or the need of White Liberals to constantly wash away their guilt?
