In reality, Slavery was common in Africa before it was common in the Americas. Many of the slaves were purchased, rather than kidnapped.
To be honest, I'm not fond of anything by Michael Moore, since he uses emotional manipulating in situations where logic would work just fine.
Tired of seeing it because the truth hurts?
So you're pro slavery?
People used to burn "witches," at the stake, too, but that doesn't mean society shouldn't evolve and move passed it.

His post seems pro slavery if it's against calling out slavery as bad. I didn't tell him what he meant; I asked questions.

No. I just understand that we can't fully understand slavery until we understand that it's not purely a white American thing.

What is that? Gaelic?
No one said it was purely a white American thing, but it doesn't change America's history of being built on the backs of slave labour.
In present day, my guess is that China has the most slave labour - or at least slave labour like conditions with extremely low pay, as the ruling class don't even consider the workers to be human. This came directly from the mouth of an heir to a Hong Kong factory. Slavery is alive and well the world over.
Gaelic? "Witches," were burnt at the stake in the USA, too. Probably in Canada as well. And all over the world. My point is that just because people did horrible things to other people out of ignorance in the past doesn't mean we should still do it today.

Has it not occurred to anyone that we've already invented loads of automated security systems & robotics that could easily apprehend shooters if only our education funding were enough for it?
Why put people in front of rifles when it's so obvious a few little drones could incapacitate a shooter any number of ways?

Still this would be better than nothing.

Likewise for Twitter on the right.

Why? I find little displays like this good indicators of the subversion and desperation of the left.
Desperation of pointing out the racist origins of the NRA?
I find it a bit funny how so many people commented on the white/black slavery bit, but not one mention of how when the KKK was made illegal, the NRA sprang up to take its place.
