Dathrowed1 06/25/20 9:30:03 AM #48:	whitelytning posted... American slavery was not a genocide by any definition I have seen or can think of. "Genocide" applies that one race is trying to kill/remove/erase/destroy/etc., another race. Slavery is different because the enslaved race has an inherent value to the oppressors. It is horrible, unjust, terrible, all those things, but it is different than genocide. I'm not trying to hijack the thread or defend the American slavery system. I am not a confederate supporter or white supremacist or anything like that. As terrible as it was, I just think you are wrong to call American slavery a genocide. My issue with it. The slave decendents here in the states grew exponentially. Genocide ain't down with that. I do wish sugar plantations got as much flack as the cottons ones (why isn't Brazil Angola?) --- sig <cite>Dathrowed1 posted [p:941230844] in Confederat...
