Gerald, your comment and my comments are substantially different. There is a difference between correcting facts and simply issuing opinions. First of all, there is not a single person alive who can know how all cultures and people have always been everywhere at all times, unless we restrict ourselves to discussing biological functions. That is one of those omnipresent cosmic, god-like judgments that are considered intelligent, and it is a product of many centuries of the theocratic culture of Europe where "God's" view was an ongoing standard for evaluating all reality. It is what Ward Churchill calls the "ideology of the ideal," an intellectualized lens in the culture that distorts reality.

I don't forget anything, and it doesn't matter that Africans sold other Africans into slavery for the purposes of understanding US history and culture. Additionally, you are incorrect about the slaves in Jamestown. They were not indentured servants, they were African slaves.
