It is incredible that over 150 years after its final abolition, slavery continues to impact race relations in America. No one currently alive in America was ever a slave in the United States. The closest connection that can be made is that there are probably some very elderly persons who, as young children, might have a met a former slave who had lived a very long life.
The point isn’t to speculate on such matters, but to emphasize that no one alive today was directly impacted by the practice of slavery in America. Racially discriminatory practices, yes. Slavery, no.
We cannot change the past. But, we can look at history, try to learn something, and resolve to do much better. Part of that involves challenging prevailing ideas that might not be accurate.

Slavery was around for centuries in many countries and not just of blacks. Not every owned slaves, and not just whites owned slaves. Back in the day it was the norm, and an accepted practice. If you look at some of the norms in our society now they will not be accepted in the future!
Ignorance, plain and simple …
See this is history that you want to erase. Cause you don’t want to know the truth. Is this why we black history month so everyone will understand the truth?
