When The US became it's own country it inherited the responsibility for sustaining slavery laws in the United States and weather the US got ride of it a generation later or not doesn't take away the responsibility . Lastly it doesn't matter if it's the same men or even the same parties it's the same government entity .(May 7, 2019 at 8:24 pm)Amarok Wrote: I mean the same government that is responsible for slavery in America
It's not the same government. The government responsible for slavery in America is the British government, as we were British colonies when slavery was instituted. The colonies didn't abolish slavery when they instituted their own government, which was stupid, but it took less than a lifetime to do so. Edit: Stupid is the wrong word. It was inhumane, probably even monstrous.
Moreover, none of those men are still alive, so I can't see how it's the same government.

White men bought slaves in Africa, they didn't capture them, except in some odd occasions. Blacks should blame blacks for slavery. (Africans were keeping slaves before the white man started buying them.)Doesn't matter they still brought them to America and made them slaves. Deflecting the blame to Africans is a cop out .
Quote:They learned where they could get slaves. The markets in Africa were already there.Which is irrelevant to the fact they bought the slaves
Quote:"The treatment of slaves in Africa varied widely. " Rev., you make my point.No it really doesn't
