So those mean old savers made us buy those slaves, and beat them, and sell them like animals? We, as a country, didn't want to, but they made us?
That isn't true.
Some were, many more were snatched from England and Ireland and slapped in chains for the tobacco plantations,

The white slaves not indentured, who began to arrive here in 1618, included hundreds of children – – waifs and strays – – who had been rounded up from streets of London to serve wealthy farmers in Virginia.
Other slaves came from the ranks of the homeless and the poor, whom King James I held responsible for spreading the plague, and from England’s swelling prison population.
The scheme was supported by James I, who believed the homeless and itinerant of London were spreading plague.
Of the first 300 white slaves to land in Virginia, only 12 managed to survive four years. The others died of ill treatment, disease, attack by native Americans or overwork.
Contemporary records show that one child victim, Elizabeth Abbott, was beaten to death when her master ordered her to be given 500 lashes for running away.
At least 70,000 white men, women, and children from England and Ireland were shipped to the colonies to be sold as slaves on the auction block during the 170 years of British rule.
White slaves transported to the colonies suffered a staggering loss of life in the 17th and 18th century. During the voyage to America, the white slaves were kept below deck for the entire nine to twelve week journey. They were chained with 50 other men to a board, with padlocked collars around their necks. The weeks of confinement below deck in the ship’s stifling hold often resulted in outbreaks of contagious disease, including cholera and dysentery.
Ships carrying white slaves to America often lost half their slaves to death. According to historian Sharon V. Salinger of the University of California, Riverside, “Scattered data reveal that the mortality for [white] servants at certain times equaled that for [black] slaves in the ‘middle passage,’ and during other periods actually exceeded the death rate for [Black] slaves.”}

Doesn't matter what the universal practice was at the time. It was wrong, and we did it. Not that long ago, using asbestos was universally accepted, but there are still massive settlements being made for it's use. Smoking was universally accepted. In some cases, it was advertised that doctors recommended one brand over another as much as 10 to 1. Just because something was once accepted doesn't make that thing right.
A new study suggests that a million or more European Christians were enslaved by Muslims in North Africa between 1530 and 1780
Spewing shit or do you have any supporting documentation?
So? What's your point? Are you justifying US slavery?
You're right, I should have said the 'Americas' (as in North and South America) not the 'US'. In my defense you originally said 'America'.

Wow. You really are screwed up in the head, aren't you? I don't know anybody that has a problem condemning slavery, whether it was our slavery in the past, or today's slavery in Africa, or anywhere else it might exist. I have often asked you to point out politicians alive today who advocate slavery. Slavery was a shameful part of the Democratic party's past, a couple of centuries ago, and I don't know of anyone who doesn't freely admit that, but the party has changed. You are just too stupid to acknowledge that.
If the laws causing roadblocks and restrictions for black people would have ended 157 years ago, you might have a point, but they didn't. As a kid, I remember "whites only" water fountains, and restaurants that didn't serve blacks. As a young man, a union I joined was proud of the fact that they had never had a black member, and claimed they never would. In 1963, the governor of Alabama made his famous speech where he declared "Segregation Today, Segregation Tomorrow, and Segregation Forever" Much more recent than that, I've seen well documented evidence that blacks were denied loans Those things didn't end 157 years ago. Are you really too stupid to see that?
I've ask you, along with several other crazies that same question many times. Considering your mental capacity, I'm not surprised that you don't remember. Either way, you can't deny that I just ask you, and await an answer.
