This is simultaneously a fair point (the Portugeuse were the first slavers) and a miscategorization (puritans/white european invaders were quite racist and violent from the moment they landed on Plymouth rock and began stealing from / killing Natives).
- goatinaboat 6y agopuritans/white european invaders were quite racist and violent from the moment they landed on Plymouth rock and began stealing from / killing Natives I guess I can't keep up with the shifting terminology, are natives considered blacks now then? Isn't that supposed to be BIPOCS? Actually if we are talking about slaves, then native Americans had been enslaving each other for centuries before Whites or Latinx arrived.

So had the peoples in africa: >>Very few Americans know that slavery was common throughout the world as well as in Africa, says Sandra E.

- nix23 6y agoYes they vote everything down if it's not Pink Pony compatible...and yet my OS is from Berkeley ;)
- KDJohnBrown 6y agoSo this justifies it? What’s your address bro, I need a slave.
- nix23 6y ago>What’s your address bro, I need a slave. No one said something about justification, but since you need a slave you obliviously did not evolve...let me guess your from the US right? BTW: I'm not your "bro" little wanna be slaveholder.
- KDJohnBrown 6y agoYou are clewrly juwtifying slavery. Wvery single white supremacist uses this rhetoric: Native Americans enslaved each other so they needed white Europeans to civilize them. Africans enslaved each other and sold them to us so it was OK to make avaracian fortunes doing the same. You enslaved Africans so it is only fair play for them to invade your nation, rape your women and enslave your populace.
- KDJohnBrown 6y agoThis is why I supported the IRA. Every attack on England was an attack on evil. This pro-slavery attitude was huge from you people.
- goatinaboat 6y agoThis pro-slavery attitude was huge from you people. Black people enslaved other blacks in Africa, Latinx shipped them to America where the natives were also enslaving each other. White people put an end to all 3 of these activities, everywhere. This is historical fact. PS I am Welsh.
- KDJohnBrown 6y agoWelsh, british, scottish, all the same. All three groups were slavers, both of Africans and of the Irish, not to mention countless other Asian cultures. You rewrite history, white wsshing it to make yourselves out to be the great white saviors despite having participated for many centuries. “Hey the Africans sold their enemies to us so it must be Ok.”
