Do you have a moral basis for slavery being wrong? If so I would like to see it, seriously.

Most quote their history teachers, their parents, the Washington Post, laws of the land, but these are political and legal reasons.

Game recognizes game, paht-nah. If you don't think I recognize an intellectually dishonest scenario when it's staring me in the face, you're seriously wrong.

Like I said, it is hypocritical to say you are a "free" land while writing laws on the ownership of other human beings. That's complete hypocrisy.

You want to make it appear that it was somehow okay. And I don't care if it were white or black slaveowners, if you were to attempt justifying the practice of slavery which held my ancestors while your ancestors preached "freedom" in my presence, you'd hate the day you were born.

No mercy.

I am the first American born generation in my family. None of my ancestors from the Scottish islands owned slaves, not one. I am wanting to know where people find the moral basis to be against slavery (please remember, your people are not the only ones to have been enslaved. Israel is the prime example of a people who allowed themselves to go into bondage over and over again).

BTW, the world does not revolve around your people and their problems. IMO, it's far better to teach people how to avoid personal slavery than to keep the bitterness of centuries alive.

Also, what do you mean by saying, "..you'd hate the day you were born."? Is this a threat?
