Folks, is this really worthwhile? Is it going anywhere? Do you really believe you're going to change someone's mind on their position? Might I suggest we drop it?
 
I joined this forum to get info, advice, and support...not to hear which slavery is worse. They were/are both equally wrong.

Agree, Scoutpilot throws in the racial aspect of the evil Whites in America's past and has turned this thread way off topic. Look forward to his digs on how pounds of flesh for things that happened in the past need to be corrected today. (Stop the old racist white guy rhetoric to make other old racist white guys feel better talk to act like it's our mission to do some type of name change today to make things better. And then that certainly won't be enough until.....we do something else... and on and on and on pathetic). This is the liberal way of Dividing the country. Every ethnic background has suffered at the hand of other humans. To perpetuate the guilt of the past into present day life is a tactful divisive effort that hurts all Americans.

I eat chicken, buy products of slave labor and I am guilty to a degree of the evils of the world. What can I do to educate myself and help those who are oppressed. The CG as a humanitarian service was a good choice for me but it's just a start.

"Throws in the racial aspect." Yeah...a bunch of people freaking out about a supposed "black power/BLM" sign...I can't believe we might discuss race and historical fact.

I'm sorry to have upset you by bringing up the truth about chattel slavery,
Race, and its socioeconomic fallout in America. I didn't realize you'd be offended.
