No. I don't hold Africans accountable for selling their brethren because I don't believe it was a widespread practice, nor do I believe that "slaves" were treated as less than human. Whites didn't have to buy, if they had been a modicum of morals or were, remotely "self-professed" Christians. And everyone knows that many white slavers "stole", not bought, many of their bounty, as depicted in the television epic, "Roots".
"And if slavery offends you so"????????????? Who, today, in their right mind, isn't offended by slavery? Obviously, "you".
My convictions, whatever they are, are hardly "shallow", and not necessary to defend before the likes of you. I mean, who the fuck are you anyways?
Thank you for letting us all know that you are extremely shallow in your convictions against slavery (it is only a bad thing, when it is done to someone close to you). Thank you for letting us know how racist you are... you do not hold the black kidnappers/raiders responsible for marching the slaves out of African jungles/you do not hold the "middle men" (the Arabs) responsible for buying the African natives, marching them to markets and selling them, you only hold the "end user" responsible.
So tell me, are you blaming the "black youth" for using drugs, or in that case, are you blaming everyone else that is in the chain to get the drug onto the street?
Any person who belongs to the Democrat party obviously doesn't give a crap about slavery, Jim Crow, Poll taxes the KKK or segregation. If they did they wouldn't belong to the party of all that. Mabye not be a Republican but certainly not a democrat.
You are spouting used up disingenuous right wing talking points. The parties have changed ideologies. Let me ask you these questions:
What party today has the most Black Representatives in Congress?
What party today elected a President who is African American?
What party today elected the first African American POTUS?
What party today was the vanguard of the Civil Rights movement?
What party today is fighting for the rights of homosexuals to get married?
What party today is trying to help illegal immigrants become legal?
What party today is NOT a bunch of xenophobic bigots?
What party today maligns and fights against all of the above?
