And never forget that it was mainly blacks who captured them sold them into slavery.

So the slave trade to the American south was just a bit more than 8% of the total slave trade to the New World, but we - apparently - are to blame for 100% of it.

As I traveled through villages in west Africa, my interpreter would explain to me that those people had been his ancestors slaves.

There were plenty of slaves in the North, too.
You just don’t hear that much about them because it messes up the narrative.

Only about 5% of slaves came to the U.S.

Yeah. Brazil got TEN TIMES as many slaves as the US yet they don’t have a permanent race problem.
Why is that do you suppose?

Racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, ignorant, incestuous, xenophobic White Southerners with poor dental hygiene and personal habits who cling to God and their guns.
That narrative.

Slavery also didn’t end in Brazil until the 1880s.
And yet the Brazilian flag isnt banned and the Olympics are going to be held there too!
To: Arm_Bears
And the Confederate flag—They cling to that, too.

That seems like a silly narrative to me - I wouldn’t push it if I were you.

The DemocRAT Party and the media are, and have been, pushing that narrative.
Or were you asleep all of last week?

Do you mean ‘I wouldn’t notice it if I were you’?
Have you ever lived in the south?
