Trying to justify enslavement seems a sorry hill to die on. I want my child taught that slavery is wrong no matter the enslaver. I also want them to know the enslaved fought back..
From Howard French
It is often remarked that Africans themselves sold enslaved people to Europeans. What is less well known is that in many parts of Africa, such as the Kingdom of Kongo and Benin, Africans fought to end the trade in human beings once they understood its full impact on their own societies. Enslaved people resisted in numerous shipboard revolts, or by simply taking their own lives at sea rather than submit to bondage.
You think he is socially illiterate. I want a definition of terms
You are hilarious. Your words only make sense to a Conservative audience full of apologists for slavery.
Peace Out
