No, that was Paul in one of his screeds. Jesus never said that. He came to free mankind. Even the Old Testament rules freed a slave after 7 years. We are definitely paying for slavery. Thomas Jefferson predicted that the slave population would be the biggest problem this nation would have. There have never been slaves in any population that weren't eventually emancipated. Our slaves unlike other slaves in other times are still readily recognizable even more than 150 years after emancipation. And with some exceptions they hate us.
I never said that.
I thought that was someone else. I apologize. Should have looked into it.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
