no shite?everyone knows this...that's why it no longer exist here in the USA.but 150-200 yrs. ago, it was a common practice.another fact that is overlooked is that these slaves weren't bribed or tricked into coming here,they were sold by there own...so where is the africa hate?nah...easier to blame the current day white man for everything in history that went wrong.


Slavery is racial oppression and didn't end 150-200 years ago.

1) After slavery, it was common for white mobs of people bitter about the lost to raid black communities killing everyone in sight. For example, goggle the Colfax massacre that happened in Louisiana.
2) For a very long time after slavery, blacks were prevented from owning property, owning a gun, and the right to education.
3) Blacks after the war were treated like trash. In the case of Elizabeth Lawrence, she was an elderly black woman who was lynched by a white mob for scolding white children who threw rocks at her as she was walking home in 1933. And this happened during my grandfather's lifetime (he's still alive). There were thousands of senseless lynchings after slavery to instill fear in blacks and keep them from being empowered to stand up for equality.
4) The Jim Crow era was terrible too. I can speak all day on the horrors of "separate but equal" lies.

I can go on and on about how slavery didn't end, it just evolved. Even now, there's a concerted effort to marginalize and exploit African-Americans by the Republican Party which is overwhelmingly white and male.

This sucks because the rest of your points were accurate.

The GOP doesn't give leaders in the black community what they want. At worst the GOP neglects the black community, they sure as frick don't exploit it. The DNC does that.

Lol. No, it isn't.

So... What, like in the 70s after Jim Crow? I thought slavery was racial oppression and didn't end 150 years ago. Also, this is not slavery.

can you? Because you already conceded that slavery ended.

I think you need to look closer at the Democratic Party and determine whether it is in the best interest of the Democrats to keep blacks poor and oppressed. The Republicans probably don't care about black people, which is bad enough. But it looks like Democrats are actively trying to do things to keep black people dependent upon them so they keep getting reelected.
