I'm not making any excuses, Taxi. I am simply stating the facts about the actual history involved. I'm sure you would agree that not liking a fact doesn't make it any less of a fact. Blacks in Africa started the slave trade there... not white people. And they profited handsomely from it, which is why they jacked up the entire operation during the mid-1700's. And it is also true that on ALL sides of that situation back then, most people felt that human slavery was indeed acceptable.
It must seem abhorrent to you and me, living here in the 21st century. But how do you know what your feelings would be, if we were living way back in the year 1749..? Hell... you might even own a few slaves of your own.

You're a fucking idiot. First of all, it wasn't fucking acceptable at all to the people who were enslaved. And secondly, he wouldn't have owned any slaves, and you wouldn't either, as they were
obscenely expensive. And lastly, not every single African slave was sold into slavery. There was an entire industry that revolved around slave "catching." So you take take Klan bullshit you're spouting and stick it up your troll ass.
You know what used to acceptable that wish would come back? Cutting the heads off the filthy rich when they grind their foot on the necks of the poor just a little too much. It always changes things. Sometimes for the best, sometimes for the worse. Witness the French Revolution, the American Revolution, and the Bolshevik Revolution. A couple of dead billionaires would get the point across.
