<<Here's some perspective for you.. Horrible as the practice of human slavery is (since it STILL occurs in Africa .. etc), the majority of the male slave population transported to the US would instead have been slain had they not been sold into slavery by their African "brothers". Most slaves were captives of inter-tribal warfare, with the males that could not be sold, killed, and the women integrated into the victorious tribe. That is not persepctive. That is rationalization. The two events you connect above are totally mutually exclusive. That they happened to intermingle is neither here nor there. You are not weaving logic like you think you are. You are just saying stuff.
