it doesn't matter....history has no meaning to some people.
from the early 1500s Europeans had been slaving as an industry. by 1560, the Caribbean and the coast of South America was full of European slaves... working for Europeans...
so that whole "America started slavery in 1619" thing is bullshit. there were already slaves in the "Americas" well before 1619, and they weren't brought by or owned by Americans.
this in no way absolves our ancestors of any guilt, but i like to be damned for facts, and not assumptions...and it just abrogates those peoples existence...slavery didn't exist until 1619...those people didn't exist till 1619...so their suffering is inconsequential....at least inconsequential to people who don't bother to learn the truth...
