Who made up the ranks of Buffalo Soldiers? Former slaves. Why did they take this work instead of being doctors, lawyers, etc.? Were they prepared for the workplace after slavery? Why not?

You talk of Africa. They got their penance in the form of brutal colonialism.

Please enlighten me how modern slavery is the same as Chattel slavery?

If you actually read the article instead of patting your self on the back with how superior you are, you would know that these stories were told to me by my grandmother who was told by her grandparents who experienced it.

Slavery for some Americans who are sill living is just three generations removed. I don't think we have discussed it enough.

Now, write an essay about modern slavery where 95% of the race enslaved has had its genes altered through rape. I'm waiting to read that essay, because that only happened in America.

Nonetheless, Bless Your Heart.
