I never said slavery wasn't an abomination.
I merely pointed out the glaring flaws in the old insult that Americans owned slaves. It's thrown around constantly like we're the ones that invented the whole idea; we're not.
And for people who CLAIM to have a "world view", it's very funny how they continually overlook the fact that the blacks still living in Africa are still running around half-naked, starving, dying of thirst and disease, uneducated, and basically are still stuck at the cultural level that they were 250 years ago when Americans started bringing them here.
Compare that to the blacks living here in America and tell me that in a "world view", the ones in Africa are better off. You're full of shit.

Add to that that slavery still exists...In Sudan!
