you cannot talk about American history, without including black history, an intricate part and the true fabric of America

Player #8400550, Absolutely true. just read the Bible to see that fact. Egyptian (blacks) had Hebrew slaves. Nations that conquered nations made the looser into slaves. Rome, Germany, England China, Japan.
Reparations.... give me a break. I have Cherokee and Choctaw. I have not seen decedent's of Buffalo soldiers, black US military apologizing to Apache or Navajo for their role. BLM no. ALM All Lives Matter.

Gee Gambino, you cannot talk about American history without including Irish history, Chinese history, Italian history, Spanish history, etc. you see the TRUE fabric of America is more intricate than you describe.

Player #8400550, Go way, way back in time. The ancient Romans and Greeks made slaves out of anyone they beat in battle. Those they enslaved were white, black, etc.
Smitty
Player #24210413, Africa still has slavery today and no one cares. You dont see anyone doing anything.

The only souvenir I bought when I visited Washington, DC, was a 6 inch heavy bronze replica for $100. Mine is standing on a pedestal that reads circularly "E Pluribus Unum". I wonder if the real one also has that inscription. You'll have to use a drone to find out.
Smitty
Gee Gambino, what about the white slaves? You know... the Irish. They were argueably treated worse then the black slaves
Tex Patriot
Uninitialized, close but no cigar. The other tribes wanted the land for natural expansion and making a profit vs just killing them was better. others were just kept as slaves for the conquering tribe.
Just look at Africa today, not a lot has changed. I know this from first hand experience.

Smitty, don't forget the Native Americans - they were made slaves also
Sunshine
Tex Patriot, and slavery started in the Bible by God to show them his love for them if they would only trust Him!

Player #11904480, History repeats itself because people always think it won't happen to them, and large numbers of them fall for the lies of people in power whom they believe to be benign.

Americans are from all nationalities... That's why its the UNITED- States. All united together.

ALL world history includes slavery. Conquering people enslaved the conquered, or the wealthy owned the poor. Even native American tribes kept kidnapped members of other tribes as servants.
And slavery continues today in many places.
Question is not who did or did not have slaves.
Question is what are you going to do about it?
Vic
Smitty, so were the Chinese slaves before the blacks and the tounges were cut out of their mouths because the owners could not understand what they were saying.they may be conspiring to escape etc
