It may come as a surprise to you guys, but outside of the US, American slavery is not given a lot of time in history classes, outside of college/specialized courses. Most nations focus on their own history.

Oh sorry, you have my sympathies :)

Siege's facts concerned the entire African slave trade which involved many nations. Hey weren't slavs sold in Egypt in huge numbers by the Venetians?

It's related to the lynching of BB at the hands of your einsatzgruppe.

You really love to make Nazi references, don't you.  Mike Godwin wants his law enforced, so you lose that argument and should stay out of the thread henceforth.

I do? What was the previous one I made?

Sorry*, but you went Nazi and so have lost and are out of the argument and thread.  That's the law.

Don't think I've ever seen a black in a Jeep product.

I have seen lots of jews in german cars.
If arabs built cars, we would be riding in them too.

I'd rather drive a KrautArab car then get all my information from neo-Nazi news feeds.

Yeah, well you and the rest of us are history nerds.  I would bet most people are unaware that some blacks themselves had slaves.

No, it's pretty well known. It just doesn't change the fact that the slavery economy was not a good thing.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I'd rather do it in reverse order.
