Liberal Media Ignores Racism From Elected Dem at NAACP Meeting

How do you figure???? Do you actually deny the FACT that most slave traders bringing black to the US actually acquired them from other tribes????

The slave traders didn't do a whole lot of work in capturing the slaves they traded with the coastal tribes for other tribes taken in small wars..

No I don't deny that it was a VERY SMALL part of it. The fact remains that by the 1700's the WHITE colonists should've known that it was wrong and not went out seeking slaves.....but they did it anyway.

Actually until the invention of the cotton gin, slavery wasn't that big of deal, even in the South. Most of the slaves were going to South America and sugar islands.

Poor man, now comprehension is becoming an issue. In context of what I wrote, time was easily inferred, even for you.

Awful things were done by foreigners to others throughout history, the Greeks being one of the prime evildoers. Yet, things were what they were, prices paid. The payments are not something to be brought up X number of generations later. Loser mentality, no wonder you are for it.

Kathianne I think there were many 1000's of slaves in America before the cotton boom too. Here in Virginia and other southern states tobacco was the big cash crop early on and the 1st slaves/servants landed in the 1610- 20s (?). But one group that is forgotten in the list of slaves here in US are the Native Americans. Native Americans where a large percentage of many states slave population early on. Lets add that to their list.

But interestingly enough the word slave is a derivative of SLAV as in the Slavic people.

SLAVE: late 13c.,"person who is the property of another," ... originally "Slav" (see Slav), so called because of the many Slavs sold into slavery by conquering peoples.
"This sense development arose in the consequence of the wars waged by Otto the Great and his successors against the Slavs, a great number of whom they took captive and sold into slavery." [Klein]

True about Natives.

Reason I used the word 'helot' for Greek slaves. Words may change, conditions remain the same.
