We are all no doubt descendants of slaves and enslavers.

Perhaps...but my family members didn't come to this country until well after slavery was abolished here. Those who would seek reparations for descendants of former slaves ignore the fact that many of those around today had nothing to do with the slavery that existed in this country in the day through the Emancipation.

That's true.

But slavery has, historically speaking, not been confined to these shores, nor has it been a matter simply between white owners and black slaves.

The Greeks, Hebrews, Romans, Aztecs, and most African and Native American tribes have practiced slavery at aome time.

It is a pretty safe guess that virtually everyone has a slave somewhere in their ancestry--and an owner.
