I'm not claiming to be an expert on slavery or anything such as that. But i believe the whole problem started with the fact that the slaves were black........Yes there were slaves in Africa and they obviously sold slaves to the Americans, but the problem in this scenerio is when you try and free the slaves and bring equality, it's known exactly who the slaves were, thus continuing the belittling of those who were once enslaved in a vicious cycle. While people believed slavery should end, it still had the problem of people knowing exactly who the slaves were allowing them to put themselves above them.


Had the slaves been white then once freed no one would be able to tell the difference, this IMO could have resulted if the slaves brought over had been of Asian decent as well as Hispanic, it just so happens the slaves were black. I mean slavery is obviously nothing new, nor was it at the time even, but the fact that the slaves were different from those who were in charge is what caused the chain reaction in trying to make everything equal per-say.



Just my two cents........But feel free to go back to your incredibly racist debate
