Please point out where you think I defended slavery for anybody. The Democratic party's acceptance of slavery in the past was wrong, and they sucked for not having a problem with it. I would never defend that. Fortunately, Democrats today have reversed their view of it. I would not be a Democrat today without that change, and acknowledgement of how wrong the party was in the past.
You are remarkably stupid.
Correct, I meant to write the 'Americas', not the 'US'. Not really relevant since 12 million Blacks were enslaved by Whites while only a tiny number of Whites were ever enslaved by Blacks.
An in almost every case it was cruel and counter productive. Making a few wealthy and impoverishing the many.What is so fascinating to see is how leftists try to spin the fact that slavery was global. All races and ethnic groups enslaved others and were enslaved. 500,000 Chinese slaves died building the Great Wall of China, and they just tossed their bodies in the construction area and covered them up.
Slavery was widespread all over the Americas before Columbus and post Columbus every territory, colony and future country had slavery. Canada didn't have that much due to climate. There is nothing unique about the USA in this matter, it was 100% normal back then. Slaves in the colonies/USA were treated much better, had better living conditions, food, and long lives compared to what happened on the big corporate type plantations in the Caribbean and parts of S. America.
We will have to agree to disagree. I think it is cruel to have your freedom taken from you. It is also counter-productive to have such a structured, inflexible society. How many Einsteins, Newtons, Platos, etc have lost their chance to contribute to society because of their birth into poverty or slavery.
BTW you boy Plato was a firm proponent of Slavery, as it was an important place in that culture. And Newton was a shareholder in a slave trading company for decades.

I'm not defending Clinton. You're making excuses for Cosby. You're such a hypocrite.
Just "American" will do.
Tell us the European nations where Blacks are running at least 30% of large corporations.
