People need to realize that America didn’t invent slavery, and was not the only country to have slaves. America was not the only country to be involved in the slave trade.
Black people are not the only ones to be victimized as slaves or used as slaves, for instance, Middle Eastern folk and even white folk. Yet, today only the white race in this country is being vilified for slavery that happened 200 years ago.
Slavery has been with mankind from the beginning. Slavery still exists today.
I believe that there are more people complaining about past slavery than there are doing anything about current and future slavery.
