re: The reality of Slavery in the US vs everywhere else

This idea that "we" made a mistake is the problem. The reality is slavery was normal when the US was founded. ... Everyone owned slaves. Slavery was normal. The US did not invent it or decide on it, it was the norm.
The US had been a British territory, and slavery had NOT been the norm in British territories (or even in Europe as a whole) for a very long time.
American slavery was not some offshoot of slavery elsewhere in the world. It evolved independently here, from the indentured servitude system, due to labor shortages in the British North American colonies.
Once it evolved itself back into existence in North America, it was a simple matter to find slaves to purchase elsewhere in the world.
Most folks do not know that most of the earliest Blacks brought to the US as slaves came not directly from Africa, but rather from what is now called Latin America. Why? They had been practicing slavery there for 150 years before the Punch case established the institution in the British North American colonies.

What you are saying is just not historically true. England did not ban slavery until 1833.
Slavery was on the way out ethically and politically by the end of the 18th century in Western Europe but was still legal and widely practices in the colonies, especially in their New World colonies until the early 19th century.

Despite all the outrage about slavery, it is still going on in many parts of the world today. Ironically the rage is against what happened 200 years ago and not what's happening today. That's exactly how you know it's a power play and not a moral argument.

Free blacks owned slaves all over, especially in New Orleans. The largest slave holder in NC was a black guy. This simple fact destroys every Progressive argument about the Institution of slavery in America.
I ten second Google search says a man named Paul Cameron was the largest slave owner in NC with approximately 470 slaves.

I'll challenge that statement and raise it with feminism.

Not one of our finer moments, but do not care at all for our legacy of slavery. We're definitely suffering from it.

The biggest problem we have still with black (and white) America is the breakdown of the nuclear family.

If there was a politician willing to to risk his career to address the misconceptions of slavery, it would be a big step forward for America.

I think every American alive today who owns or owned slaves should be forced to free and pay reparations to the slaves they own or previously owned.
Posted on 12/12/25 at 8:09 am to RelentlessAnalysis
What difference does that really make when the actual point is that black people were the enslaved in America.

This is a problem that transcends any racial or economic category.
And it is obvious that this is the root design of ALL democrat policy - to reduce the procreation of NORMAL Americans and fill up the country with MIGRANTs (legal or illegal) from 3rd world countries who have NO understanding or respect for traditional American culture and whose progeny will, within two generations, will VOTE OUT any political figure who does not agree with their need for welfare $$ and freedom from OUR cultural norms that have been honed during the past 400 years.
Our entire civilization is on the brink of extinction.

A reminder to all those leftist democrats trolling this site. It was Abraham Lincoln (a Republican) who gave us the Emancipaton Proclamation. It was Republicans who joined Martin Luther King on his Selma March in 1965. It was Republicans who fought to pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It was Republican Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. who fought for equal rights for his people. I stood spellbound with all of America, as I listened to his "I have a Dream" speech. I'm convinced they assassinated him more because he was Republican, than their fear of his activism.
It was the democrats who fought the Republicans including, but not limited to, KKK democrat Robert Byrd.
But without question is was the democrat Lyndon B. Johnson who inflicted the most damage to the black community. After the passage of his "Great Society" legislation, Lyndon Johnson boasted,"this [legislation] will keep the n****s voting democrat for 200 years". I remember I was appalled when he said that blatantly racist comment. While LBJ destroyed the black families, the militant democrat feminist worked to destroy the traditional family model.
The legislation created the Welfare State with legions of black families headed by single black women raising children fathered by different men. It destroyed the black family.
As if that is not enough......the democrat party embraced the radical anti-black feminist radical Margaret Sanger (Planned Parenthood Founder). Her solution to the black problem? Abort them.
I was there, I saw the racial prejudice in my own town - and just like the Republicans before me, I did my part to help my fellow black brothers. I worked to help blacks get good jobs. I trained at least one myself. I know what racism looks like, since I incurred the wrath of my fellow white workers and democrats. I read the Preamble to the U.S.Constitution. I even learned it by heart. I read the Declaration of Independence as well. I dare you to read those documents and not be moved. I was.
And now our Republican President Trump is working tirelessly to bring economic oppertunity for all Americans......including black America. He's flawed, but so am I, you too. The democrats are fighting him every step of the way.
I am unashamedly Christian and Republican.
Trump / Kirk 2025 - They took bullets meant for us.

He's trying to turn down the racial animosity towards white people, by saying blacks, given the opportunity, did the same thing.

Like Al Sharpton said years ago...
Yeah motherfricker.... you built them with slaves. Pretty well documented that slaves were used in Egypt for a thousand years.
