I just wanted to add a little humor to this thread.
But on a more serious note, you spoke of slaves. The slaves themselves were xtians. That's actually where most gospel music comes from.

However, even as a half black person who's a former xtian, I for the life of me can't understand what their thinking either. Perhaps the modern day blacks just ignore the stuff in the bible about slavery and the history of what white xtians did to their ancestors ("Yeah, slavery was bad but it's over now"). In fact, one of the verses they like to prefer to is Matthew 20:16 "So the last shall be first and the first last: for many be called but few chosen". Imagine their reaction when Obama got elected.
So, yeah. I'd say it's ignorance.

Don’t ask.
