    You know the African slave trade that had been going on for 2000+ years before the Americans decided to buy some slaves from the official African slave markets?

    Or do we not talk about that and pretend slavery was invented by America?
    Did you just "whatabout" slavery? Amazing scenes.

      I think you're missing my point. I wasn't arguing that slavery only existed in the US or only involved white people.

      Black History Month was created as an event in the US by academics to encourage study of black history as it wasn't covered in schools. It only became an event in the UK in the 80s.

      I'm not a history expert but I doubt there's that much crossover between India and Black Africans. Hence why there's probably no 'Non-White People History Month.'

          Unfortunately oPM feels ashamed for being white and is trying to shift his sense of shame. I'm white and not ashamed of it at all. The transatlantic slave trade was an appalling crime committed by Europeans, but I don't carry responsibility for it.

              That Zeity chap used to get exercised about that seeing as his ancestors came from The Lizard.

                  Do you have a problem with facts? Other than the obvious, like you've yet to utter one?

                      What racism?

                      Has your ability to engage in discourse left you, so that you must resort to spurious accusations?
