Y'know, this might sound "Racist" but while the Blacks and Liberals are always banging the drum about Slavery in the 1700-1800s in this country, but the fact that all those people were brought here and multiplied, made those African Americans whose ancestors were slaves, some of the luckiest people on the planet . . Because had their ancestors not been brought here, they, instead might be part of the population in Nigeria, Ethiopia or Sudan . . and starving, murdering one another or dying of AIDS . .
Just another way of looking at the whole picture . . But while I'm not advocating Slavery, it is part of our History, paid for, in full, with the Civil War (1862-65) . . .
