Do you know what bigot even means? Intolerant of another's belief or opinion. That's you... This way to the camp!

I dont need a textbook definition of what a bigot is....
And the fact that your arguing with me over a post I stated that is an actual fact also would make your bigot according to your definition.
Now plz shush if your going to try and troll me like a few other tea partyers are doing in this section of forum. I will promptly add each of you to ignore list.
Cause yes I am intolarable of fascists :D

Drop the offensive crap. SOME Africans corruptly participated in the slave trade. It was hardly all of them. It doesn't whitewash the Europeans who did.

Some Jews helped the Nazis in concentration camps IIRC. Some French participated in the Nazi government in France. Others resisted.

Do you just say 'the Nazis were fully supported by the French people'?

Right. What made slavery what it was was EUROPEAN DEMAND for slaves. It's all cause and effect, supply and demand.

And to effect, no other country quite had an institution like black slavery in my recollection. Even in like Rome, there wasn't any connection between slavery and ethnicity. The US slave system was very much like the Indian caste system.

The Roman empire adopted rules against making Roman citizens or Italians slaves, though.

It wasn't the same though, where in the US slavery was highly linked to racism that included both slaves and non-slaves.
