The "problem" is the disconnect between our reliance upon the institution and the grand (and unique) ideals about "equality" espoused in our founding documents.
Slavery existed before the documents, also, the original documents didn't speak well of slavery. *yawn*

quote:The Dutch West India Company was a major player in the slave trade. Of the company's 3,000,000 florins in original capital, Jews contributed only 36,000, or 1.2 percent. In 1656, seven of 167 major shareholders were Jews; in 1671, ten of 192. Likewise, Jews owned about 2% of the ships plying the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
percentage wise, some of the largest slave owners were in fact Jewish and the largest transporters of slaves were Jewish as well

quote:Actually, most future slaves were captured in inter-tribal raids, conducted solely for the purpose of capturing slaves.
It was a convenient way for tribal chiefs to get rid of their rivals and trouble makers and make a profit at the same time.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".
Certainly, because we are all endowed by our Creator with the very same rights, we are equal.
How each responds to the Creator's endowment is what causes the inequalities. Yet no one wants to talk about it. They simply want to say we are equal.

We already know the truth. We all do. Democrats simply lie that they don't.. It fits their narratives.

Some would say they were incentivized by the whites who were trading $$$, guns and ammo for slaves. That same ammo and guns that were used to conquer and enslave opposing tribes. Can’t bring a spear to a gun fight….

In any event, there is no defense for the buying and selling of human beings like chattel.
Stop it with this garbage. Until the UK/American Whites ended it, it was a natural part of every society that ever existed.
What there is no defense for is that you people don't care about it happening today.

Here's some historical truth about slavery, from right here in Baton Rouge.
Here's some historical truth about slavery.
The West African kingdom of Dahomey would sacrifice thousands of slaves during their Annual Customs Festival. That's much more interesting than some slaves getting whipped here in the states.

Like it or not, there is a certain level of hypocrisy there.
Oh wow... Amongst the countries that were the first to outlaw slavery, during that transitionary period opinions on the subject were mixed.
Really insightful take Sherlock.
Yep, totally unique event. All the other countries that did ban slavery just woke up one day and everyone was in agreement. No contradictory values held within their cultures.

No, they do not.
A lot do. I just had to DNF a best selling book (Babel, nearly a half million reviews on GoodReads) because the final straw in a series of rapid fire SJW bullshite 'facts' was the claim that slavery in the West was a unique evil in that these nations were the only ones to practice "chattel" slavery.
Lots of people eat this white/West guilt shite up. You might not believe it, but that doesn't mean its not a popular stance on the left.

This is what people don't get about "chattel slavery." When they try to make a case for how uniquely bad American slavery is, that is their angle. But while it seems that owning a slave's offspring is a more brutal form of slavery, it's the opposite. It represented a long-term investment that made it optimal to make sure your slaves survived to become parents and raise their kids. If you own nothing of the slave beyond their individual labor, more reason to just squeeze them until they break then buy another.

Incentives does not begin to work as the African tribes were raiding and killing and enslaving long before the white man ever reached their shores .

Colonel, I have found a large number of the four hundred contrabands examined by me to be as badly lacerated as the specimen represented in the inclosed photograph.
The union got miles of propaganda for the “ whipped Peter” photo which is very misleading, i’m pretty sure if that letter was authentic they would have had a camera there as soon as possible and there would be matching statements from other doctors finding simiiar instances which i have never seen
