[QUOTE="Fred's Myth, post: 4104418, member: 55587"] The first slaves and indentured servants came to the ENGLISH colony of Jamestown, Virginia in 1619. The U.S.A. didn't gain its independence from England until July 4, 1776. The importation of black slaves from Africa was banned in 1808. The 13th Amendment abolishing slavery was ratified December 6, 1865. Data shows deaths to 1.8 million caused by the slave trade to North [B]AND[/B] South America combined. Unless you believe White Supremacy is an innate quality of Caucasians, your 500 year timeline and your millions upon millions killed is erroneous. Jon Stewart notwithstanding. Slavery was an egregious horror that should be acknowledged because racism today is rooted in it. Reparations won't repair that damage. It will only encourage the racists. [/QUOTE]
