....my point that you clearly missed. Here’s a hint: consider the ethnicity of our prison population....

I completely understand and ‘get’ your point.
What I am saying is that you implied all slaves posed a problem for the present.
I was merely pointing out that all slaves were not delivered to US from the African Continent.
I kind of got ‘carried away’ because too many people refuse to admit the indentured Irish etal were actually slaves.
Probably afraid ‘they’ will have to pay reparations and you know the Jackson/Sharpton crowd will not stand for that.
I implied no such thing. Look, when we talk about slavery in this country, everyone knows whom we’re talking about. It ain’t the Irish, the Amish, or the Aztecs. It was significant and memorable because there was a hellish war fought over it that brought the death of some 600,000, a constitutional amendment, a presidential assassination, and ceaseless reparative legislation and supreme court precedent have evolved from it.
At any rate, my point was clearly NOT about slavery per se.
