American hypocrisy on the holocaust that was the slave trade and slave economy. Where is the National Slavery Museum that should be situated right next to the National Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., a city literally built from the ground-up by African slaves?
There has never been another large historical event that has it’s descendents be told to ‘get over it’ than the ancestors of the enslavement of millions of Africans transported across the Atlantic.
There has never been such any formal set of reparations for the 300+ centuries…
Okay, I know I’m not high this time. 300+ centuries of slavery? Really? 30,000 years? Sloppy typing will ruin anything serious you’re trying to talk about. Now I can’t even take this seriously, even though I agree with the sentiment.
Haha, you’re totally right—I missed that. But I think there’s still a valid point underneath that. The general attitude of most comfortable, white Americans towards black people who point out—correctly—that they still suffer from the social and financial ramifications of centuries of enslavement at the hands of whites seems to be, “Get over it, it’s been long enough.”
