Okay, quick question Carey: is slavery more or less of a problem in Africa now than it was at the height of the slave trade?

The slave product? But to put the Guilt on any race other than the Black race for slavery is illogical.
Look the fact is, even if everything you are saying 10% accurate, which it isn't but let's say it is. Once the first generation of Africans and all subsequent ones born here in the New World and held as slaves can be directly attributed white Europeans. How do you dismiss that?

Holocaust must then be, not only a "German invention" (all Germans past and present sharing part of the guilt), but also a "white" invention, meaning that all "whites" past and present share part of the guilt. |

They were born as slaves because blacks made their parents slaves and then sold them to whites.
