Funny thing, I don't see why some people are so
sensitive to this
issue and slavery in the U.S. Look at how many whites came over to
the U.S. as intentured servants, or how many had ancestors in places
like Greece and Rome who were slaves, etc. All of the sniveling over
slavery in the U.S. is so childish, particulary when one considers
that their own people (or members of warring tribes who captured them)
sold them to the slave traders at a nice profit... and let's not
forget that there were some very wealthy black slave traders and
plantation owners in the U.S. as well. Of course, the politically
correct won't tell that side of the story, they just want to tell the
politically correct half-truths.
Screw the politically correct then. Stick it in the Wikipedia! :)
