does that include blacks racism towards other races. like burning down and destroying our country,. looting , rioting and murdering. The way gangs of blacks gang up murder one white person or try too. lets tell it all.
Justice Jackson should realize that the fact of slavery is taught throughout the U.S. or should be. And no child should be taught that there is ANY moral justification for slavery and it was a tragic circumstance in U.S. history.
But honest history must also include:
1. The fact that it wasn't Americans who went into the jungles to capture slaves but it was other Africans.
2. It wasn't Americans who bought those captives and transported them all over the the world to be resold as slaves.
3. There are few if any countries in the world that do not have some form of slavery in their distant history and a few countries still do. And there were black slave owners in America too.
4. It was mostly white people of European descent who would come to reject slavery as a concept and fought, many at the risk of their reputations, fortunes, and/or their very lives, to end the practice of slavery both in other countries and here in the USA.
5. The USA has evolved in its thinking, customs, culture as most countries do, and it has done everything it can do to end slavery, to end segregation, to enforce full citizenship and all human rights to the descendants of slaves and make it illegal to hinder their exercise of those rights in any way.
It is now time to work toward making the color of skin of no more importance than hair or eye color so that all citizens are equal under the law and none are privileged by the law or hindered by the law because of their former nationality, ethnicity, race or creed.
