It was not until the late 19th century that Europeans could get into the interior of West Africa due to the prevalence of deadly diseases such as yellow fever and malaria.
True ... and even then, like now, racial cleansing takes place all through Africa often in the name of holiness and/or purity. Which only serves to bolster my point about religion being tied to race for all time. Something amkerboy can't seem to wrap his tiny mind around.
The debate here is not who has done more slavery. There's little doubt that slavery has been around since humans could string sentences together. My OP was not in regards to all this. My OP was, WHY would a black person born and raised in America, knowing what he knows about our history, worship a god that supports the racist white people that enslaved his entire race in this country?
(This thread is not about the history of slavery people. I realize Americans didn't invent it. sweet Neptune!)
