" I can't fault my ancestor's ignorance because they lived like that for generations and knew no better"Don't put words in my mouth!
Because you don't understand the need for slaves in the Southern economy. They went to war to maintain their way of life and unfortunately, it included slavery which has been going on for HUNDREDS of years. I can't fault my ancestor's ignorance because they lived like that for generations and knew no better. Today we know how wrong it was. Do you think those white and black plantation owners wanted to pick cotton?
They were just as racist because they treated blacks like dirt till civil rights. To me, not being able to eat in the same place, drink out of the same water fountain, or use the same bathroom is appalling. The people in the 20th century should have known better because we had a Civil War because of it and yet 100 years later......
Kidnapping to sell or buy people has been a sin punishable by death years before we committed genocide on Natives and enslaved Africans.
Exodus 21:16 “Whoever kidnaps a person and sells them, and anyone found in possession of them, shall be put to death.
There are forms of consensual volunteer slavery in the bible, kidnapping people to enslave them isn't one of them, it's something evil.
God wrote back in the 5th century BCE; kidnapping is evil and should be punished by death. Kidnapping was immoral and evil before Jesus' time. This is the evil we here in the U.S. practiced for generations. On paper we had the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery, but we still openly beat, lynched and murdered black till the late 1960s. It wasn't that long ago. That wasn't ignorance, it was evil long before we came to America. It's the opposite of God's number one and two command to love God and your neighbors as yourself. White racism is at the base of this long ingrained evil and we're clearly still suffering the ramifications of these ancestor's evil Ideology.
