Slavery was a global institution
until white Christians, especially
white English Christians, spearheaded a moral revolt against it. The British Empire, while at its apex, deployed its military and economic might to bear upon Africa, the Middle East, and Asia to abolish this perennial practice—while along being met with considerable resistance by Africans, Arabs, and Asians who profited from it.
We shouldn’t expect for the History Channel to include any of these facts in its next piece of fiction.

In May, the History Channel will air its remake of Alex Haley’s
Roots: The Saga of An American Family.
Unsurprisingly, the advertising for the broadcast fails to mention that
Roots is
a fake, and a fake of the first order.
First of all, the book upon which the successful mini-series was based was actually authored by Murray Fisher, Alex Haley’s editor from
Playboy magazine.
Secondly,
Roots wasn’t just ghost-written; it was
plagiarized: In 1978, Judge Robert Ward concluded that Haley had stolen the idea for
Roots from Harry Courlander, the white man who authored
The African. Courlander charged Haley with having “copied [from his book] language, thoughts, attitudes, incidents, situations, plot and character.”
...
Yet if Burton and Buccieri and those who are constantly telling us that “we” need an honest dialogue on race really wanted this, then more people would know that:
For centuries,
Africans (Muslims) enslaved Europeans (Christians).
The first slaves in America
were white.
The first legal slave master in America,
Anthony Johnson, was
black.
Johnson owned black
and white servants.
There were blacks in America
before slavery.
Prior to the War Between the States there were
some 4,000 black slave masters in the South.
Slavery, to say nothing of a whole lot worse than slavery, persists to
the present day in black Africa.

white English Christians, spearheaded a moral revolt against it. The British Empire, while at its apex, deployed its military and economic might to bear upon Africa, the Middle East, and Asia to abolish this perennial practice—while along being met with considerable resistance by Africans, Arabs, and Asians who profited from it.

A LIE by omission is still a lie! The History of the D Party has no bearing on the Party today. Racism and bigotry are character flaws in the human species, but the behavior and polices of the D's today in no way reflect the racism and bigotry within the R Party today, and those who claim to I's vote for the R Party (most are too dishonest to admit they are R's, Bigots, Sexists and Racists unless they can do so anonomously or with others of their kind).
