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.
