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.

Nope many blacks sold slaves, and centuries before America they had them. Read the book Before the Pilgrims.
Most Blacks and Whites are ignorant to history, thanks to the partisan government involvement.

FACTS SPEAK LOUD AND CLEAR IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE SMART ENOUGH TO BOTHER KNOWING THEM!
And black muslims are still buying and selling slaves just like they’ve done for 1400 years. Will the left go after blacks for owning slaves? I can’t wait to see this one.
Why don’t black people know their own history? Their own people in Africa sold their own people as slaves. That was years ago. Look at all of the wars, especially the first and second world wars. I am English and I will admit that I despise the Germans for what they did to my family and country but I have no intention of going after them nor doing any damage to their country. My mother believed that I would be better off by working hard and helping others than living a life of hate. There is so much happiness in giving a helping hand to others.
Absolutely true!!
