That wasnt a valid point for several reasons.Nope.I thought your point was that you believed I was talking about two different things?I've no idea. You're still gonna waltz around my point, again, aren't you?You do realize that here in the US slavery was the result of racism dont you?Well, if we're going to make this about racism instead of slavery, it's a different argument from where we started. Your opening premise was that blacks exclusively built this country, through the institution of slave labor, correct? My point was that slavery wasn't around where my folks lived, we opposed it, and we built some stuff too with our fairy white asses. Racism is a whole nother can of worms.I apologize for appearing to be mean. Dont be angry at me. I just dont get what you are saying. I never said all whites were racists. Thats an extreme claim commonly levied at me when people cannot explain white historical patterns of racism.

Slavery
"Although Massachusetts abolished slavery in 1789, early Census reports, beginning in 1790 routinely recorded the ownership of African American slaves in Maine."
Like most claims of benevolent whites existing en mass we understand they always tell half truths or outright lies.
