Again, the context was specifically Juneteenth, which is an American holiday, and the resistance to it IN THE U.S. Even so, it seems you’re trying to minimize the impact of black slavery on blacks in the US because other races and countries do it. That’s kind of messed up.Slavery of all colour was and is done by all colours world wide and is still done today. Believe it or not there is another 6.5 billion people of all colours and races in the world besides Americans. The effects and segregation affect those countries in the world as well.
You may be surprised to know that around the world those who enslave are not republicans, conservatives and most likely have never heard of Donald Trump or the Klu Klux clan........and wait for it.............care even less!
A poor person in need is prime picking for anybody so inclined who wants to make money. It's the way of the world and has been for thousands of years.
One more time: my original comment was in response to IBB talking about resistance to Juneteenth, an American holiday. So therefore, the context would be the American slave history, which was white slave owners and black slaves for the most part.So we have people whose points are wrong who throw insults and call names and you who try's to twist the words of someone to claim they mean other.
I have never mentioned black people in the USA. You were trying to blame 'white' people for slavery. I pointed out that slavery by all colours and races has been done by all colours and races for thousands of years including today.
The semi-charmed life we all enjoy in todays modern, sophisticated and culturally advanced world, the morally higher ground we stand upon looking back into history is supported almost completely by slaves. Who are these slaves...anyone with a job. Sure you're free to go home at night but you are (as I wrote @ 45 years ago...."trapped by the coins in your pocket , 40 hours a week plugged into a socket...and echoes of the past have caught us at last."
In order to get shit done ...build a temple, make a burger, sew a shirt, dig a hole, build a castle you need bodies to do it. How you treat them, what their compensation might be may vary but we need people to get off their ass and work / contribute to the machine build. If everybody's sitting at the park having a picnic, the life we know, the history we know would not be... So we need to prod them...with a carrot or a whip makes no matter (though I prefer the carrot)...we are all owned
It's slavery....just with a little lipstick on it to fool us into thinking it's OK.
Provide your source or remove this falsehood!Believe it or not there is another 6.5 billion people of all colours and races in the world besides Americans.
Here’s what a black man has to say about that subject. He also happens to be a historian

Why does that matter?I can grasp. Are you black?
It's even more dumb than that. He's not an American.Again, the context was specifically Juneteenth, which is an American holiday, and the resistance to it IN THE U.S. Even so, it seems you’re trying to minimize the impact of black slavery on blacks in the US because other races and countries do it.

YOU were talking about Juneteenth. WE were taking about slavery in general.Nobody was talking about apologizing for slavery.
We were talking about black people celebrating their freedom. And I'm still interested in hearing how exactly this is a bad thing.
You do realize that anyone can edit any wiki page right? If you're suggesting there are non-American humans then provide your source or get out!I think if you look at any website including Wiki (pinch of salt) you will find that there are an estimated 7 billion or thereabouts people in the world.
Wow. Just wow.It doesnt, but it would be interesting why somebody not affected (if you are not) feels he has to be the spokesman.
