This resentment is manufactured and trained into people by those who are seeking to destroy our nation. We've worked very hard as a nation to put slavery and its aftermath of discrimination and prejudice behind us, but this doesn't please the communists working to destroy us.

Historically, slavery has been a fact of life in every nation on the globe, and no ethnic group has been immune, regardless of skin color. The vile curse of slavery has its roots so far back in the past that I am not convinced that anyone could point to one group or another and say with certainty, "But THEY started it!" (not even the Bible tells us that)

The Biblical record in Genesis has Joseph sold as a slave in Egypt, and before that, Hagar taken into Abraham's household as a slave woman, so--slavery was definitely practiced in the Middle East going back at least 5000-6000 years, if not farther. The book of Exodus celebrates how God sets the Hebrews free from slavery in Egypt.

The truth is that, whoever we are, the likelihood that someone in our ancestry was a slave at one time or another is pretty high. We need to stop holding grudges about past wrongs and work together to make our current reality as good as we can make it--or we will surely lose our civilization to the rats gnawing at the roots of the Tree of Liberty.
