Will America ever get over slavery?

If so, how? If not, why not?

You know, I often wonder why UK gets a pass. After all, we were part of England when we brought them here and they had slaves in the old country too. Just curious how they managed to let that little fact slip into the pages of history that got stuck together.

@katielass They also ignore that not all states were slave states. Only a small minority of individuals owned slaves. Slaves were not kidnapped from Africa, but sold by Africans to Europeans for sale in the Americas.

@katielass because leftists socialists love to blame America for everything.

@SW-User Indeed, that was sort of my point. No profit in bashing the UK, they're sufficiently globalist in mindset.

@BayouBoudin Yes, and the only ancestors of mine who were here then certainly didn't own slaves, they were busy being thrown off their land, and no, I'm not complaining. You can't get ahead if you're always looking back. I think perhaps the thing that's second only to having had slaves is keeping people enslaved with mind tricks, i.e. constantly telling them how bad they have it.
