    yeah, sure, getting colonized, stolen from five ways from sunday, and oppressed in what’s mockingly called our ‘liberty’. So beneficial. SO lucky.

      I believe the African tribesmen are the ones who sold them. I’m not sure it 100% constitutes as kidnapping in this case.

      There may have been kidnappings but to my understanding they were sold out by their own people.

      Once again, still fucking terrible beyond imagining.

        That’s not really a defense; considering not one cracker stopped and said “hey, wait, this is wrong; these aren’t chattel” for another two hundred and fifty years.

          Don’t get me wrong, I am in no way defending what occurred. It is horrible, terrible shit beyond redemption. I was just pointing out that often overlooked aspect of history.

            Sure. You and every other settler looking for any kind of justification for this country’s history.
