As much as claim to hate it, they can't wait to get everyone back on their 21st century plantation where only the masters and their minions will have guns and freedom of speech.
And let’s not forget planned Parenthood was founded on the eugenic theory that non whites were inferior
I Don’t Care!
We would not survive the slavery they would have in mind for us.
More akin to nazi slave laborers who had almost no chance of surviving.
Nazi slaves didn’t cost money and replacing them was free.
They would go that route with us if they had the chance.
Another thing, there is no white person alive today that ever owned a slave. So the reparations mongers can go pound sand.

The country’s founding fathers didn’t have the power to abolish slavery in their time; it would have torn the country apart. Even several decades later it still did, and we had a civil war. Those who say they were racist for not doing it are ignorant of history.
First black slave in what was to become the USA, was Esteban the Moor. Shipwrecked off Florida in 1527 on the Spanish Narváez expedition, he was with Cabeza de Vaca in their trek and subsequent enslavement by various Indian tribes, to Texas.
Later, freed from Indian slavery by the Spanish he accompanied Frey Marco de Niza back into New Mexico where he offended the Indians and was killed.
In 1776 - there were more white Christian Slaves in the Middle East than Black African Slaves in the US.
The word Slave is a derivation of the word SLAV, because Islam took so many white slaves from Eastern Europe.
For whatever reason the Brits were the ones most open to Luther's teachings of the 5 solas. So much so that much of the rest of Europe often referred to them as "Protestant England". This encouragement that it's mainly up to the individual to further his own relationship with God led many to get closer to God, which led them to loving their fellow man more, which led them to wanting to get rid of slavery. It was an organic revolution pushed from the ground up, not a top-down imposition forced onto the culture by elites. The farthest you can find this is in the early 17th century, particularly among the Quakers on both sides of the ocean.
That England abolished slavery in 1833 when they were still very much an empire, even the top dog of the world, is quite remarkable. No other empire had done that. Not the Egyptian Empire. Not the Assyrian Empire. Not the Medes-Persian Empire. Not the Babylonian Empire. Not the Greek Empire. Not the Aztec Empire. Not the Roman Empire. Not the Ottoman Empire. The game changer was the English Empire. And it was a cultural thing, with other Anglo majority nations doing the same (U.S. a few decades later, and the newly starting Canada starting out slave free.)
And what did they do with their influence? After WW1 England's geographical footprint was the largest it had ever been (because the Allies let England control what had been left of the old Ottoman Empire after the OE lost in the war). The allies had asked various people groups within the OE to fight back against their oppressors in exchange for the Allies allowing the different groups to control their own areas -- hence the nations that exist today in the much of the Middle East. Before they changed hands, though, the Brits outlawed slavery in those lands for the first time in their history.
Meanwhile, England and the U.S. used their trade and military allegiances to discourage slavery in other nations, with the U.S. taking on more and more of the lion's share of the global abolitionist movement as the U.S.'s influence rose, after WW1 and most especially after WW2.
If you want to pick someone to give credit for the worldwide abolitionist movement, credit should go to God Almighty. But if you don't like doing that and want to pick a group of people to give credit to, then ironically it should go to the group that's most vilified for slavery as though we invented it instead of ended it.
One thing left out of this article that SCREAMS for inclusion is *WHY* slavery, a societal NORM all of the way back into pre-history, is now an anathema and major crime in the majority of the world! That evil was made UNECONOMICAL by those evil mercantilists of Europe and their descendants (USofA being a main one here)! Machines like the harvesters and tractors changed agriculture while the steam engine drove factories and production.
Human beings under stress and heavy labor are fragile but a slave was an expensive investment. Consider “The Ballad of John Henry” and his competition with a machine. Yes he won the contest but the use of strictly human labor for this job was at an end!
A true irony here of very recent news is how the University of Glasgow (UK-Scotland) has committed to paying 20 million British Pounds into a joint venture with the University of the West Indies as a “programme of ‘reparative justice’ over its links to the slavery during the British Empire.” This was based on a lengthy report showing how grants to this University from slave traders and profiteers computed to 200 million British Pounds in modern value. Included in this academic report was the fact that “[James] Watt worked for his father as a mercantile agent in Glasgow during the 1750s. Furthermore, Caribbean planters who needed to process sugar cane were significant consumers of James Watt’s steam-engines. [thus] ‘It is certain that Watt profited from slavery and its commerce, but exact quantification is impossible.’”
The irony here is quite sublime!
Well done Mr. Lowry. Well done.
At the time of the Revolution, African slavery was legal throughout the British Empire. The Revolution was not fought to avoid the British declaring slavery illegal.
The British did not render slavery illegal for more than 50 years after the Revolution began.
The British made the slave trade illegal in 1807, which the U.S. did in 1808.
It is fake history to claim the US parted from Britain to preserve slavery. Most of the founders thought that slavery would just fade away. They didn't and couldn't foresee the invention of the cotton gin and the fabulous profits Southerners could make selling cotton to British mills.
that
