[quote=nsundergrad;5949881]   What in the world are you talking about? Did I say anything about you owing blacks for their ancestors' mistreatment by yours?   My ancestors never owned any Black slaves. But some of my ancestors were Irish indentured servants. The people who did own Black slaves in America were a very small and very rich percentage of the population. Most Whites never owned any Black slaves. I would like you to understand that.    I would also like you to understand that those Black slaves were sold to White slave traders by their own fellow Blacks. Blacks would go inland and capture Blacks from other tribes and take them to the coastal villages on the slave coast in West Africa and sell the slaves to White slave traders.     Also, slavery at that time was perfectly legal and a very common practice among people of all races in all places, including Black Africans. The White race was far from being the only race to ever have practiced slavery. The Black race was hardly the only race ever to have been enslaved.    And lastly, the White race is the first and only race of people on Earth to have officially denounced and abolished the practice of slavery. Non White people around the world still practice slavery, ESPECIALLY Black Africans. They have other Blacks out digging for diamonds with AKs held to the back of their head. So please... stop trying to apply thee ol' White Guilt trip. We WNs are 100% White Guilt free, as you should be. If you were White that is. I'm assuming you are Ashkenazi? Or perhaps a member of the Negroid race?
