Slavery Numbers

I think this is another attempt to make enslavement condoned and promoted in America less of an abomination.

Christians are to do unto others as they would have other do unto them. Almost nobody wants to be physically or sexually abused.

We have one race of humans. We all do not look alike, or have the same gifts. But racism is wrong, no matter how much lipstick is put on that pig.

No, there are so many lies, myths and such as well as a constant pointing to slavery to call for reparations to imply there is still systematic racism.

I disagree, the calls for reparations are simply another form of racist nonsense from the demonic school of two wrongs make a right.

There were about 4 million, not 400,000 slaves living in the United States just before our civil war to free the slaves. People were not only kidnapped into enslavement, many were "born" into enslavement.

I am in agreement with you. I just did not say it clearly, I reckon.

The 400,000 were the ones shipped in. The fact that they could reproduce as quickly as they did has to speak to better care being given than what is consensus. In an age where infant and maternal mortality was high as well as many children dying before maturity there had to be a better environment that what we have heard. Indeed, most slaves weighed at least 10 pounds heavier than Northern White people meaning rations must have been beyond bare minimum.

Nope, the enslaved women were as slave makers. That is tantamount to sexual abuse. Recall the line, "there are blue eyed blacks in every Ghetto in America. "Black women’s childbearing became a centerpiece of the system of chattel slavery."

Slavery existed throughout history and throughout the world. There is nothing unique about slavery in the United States. I am native American. My people were butchered and not enslaved. I say butchered was worse. That was then. This is now. I'm long past over it. I think the segment of the black race who is not ",over it" needs to get over it

They were going to reproduce anyway. I do not think they were forced to reproduce. I am sure it was encouraged and some women were raped, but people are going to be people.

Native Americans were genocided, re-educated / brainwashed, deceived by broken treaties, poisoned with alcohol, relocated to distant reservations, and forced to severely limit self-sufficient hunting and fishing.

Mostly because the 5 Civilized Tribes fought for the South. Sherman wanted to genocide the Southerners so that attitude was easilu transferred to the Native Americans.
