You see comments here being made by people like mac7 who consistently says that blacks should be glad our ancestors were slaves.It was built by Europeans who brought their long held institution of slavery with them. They couldn't convince themselves that chattel slavery was acceptable unless they demonized the African slaves as somehow subhuman, who by their very nature were less intelligent than White folks. They convince themselves that they were doing the slaves a favor by civilizing them. A majority use to believe that. Not anymore, though many still do. White folks were indenture servants with an expiration date on their term of service.
