Sorry. I'm out. Been practiced by every society as long as there have been societies. I don't owe anyone shidt, and I abhor the victim culture of a people that have been free for several generations now here. Not to mention the treatment of the Irish when they came etc. etc etc.

But there is no such thing as benign slavery. Maybe I'm selling the video short?


You are selling the video short. Yes slavery in America was horrible, but there was much more slavery elsewhere.
