Look idiot, black people never should have been slaves in the first place. Tired of bigot ignorant people who are so damn mad that American history did a serious injustice to African people who were brought to the USA against there will.
Deal with it! Not white people of today, but the narrow minded ignorant racist white people back in the 1700 & 1800, etc.

Laws had to be made in America so that black people and people of color can be treated like human beings. You are ignorant as hell RayR. Your type of thinking will keep racism alive and well in America.

I give you true history, even that explained by a black hero of mine, and you say I'm ignorant as hell?

I've got news for you, slavery has been around for thousands of years, and not just black folk were slaves, and it's a lot older than the 1700's in N. America, and it wasn't just white folks who were slave owners, there were black slave owners and Native American slave owners too. So tell me all about the injustice to African people who were brought to the USA against their will when it was African people who sold African people to the European and Arab slave traders.

Not white people of today? But Joe Biden said, ‘systemic racism is one of the 'greatest crises of our time’ and the U.S must ‘eradicate systemic racism’ in his Juneteenth proclamation. Son, it's that pandering blowhard Joe Biden that is keeping racism alive and well in America, not me.

none of which made it right then, nor makes it right today, Ray.
You are using the old "he did it first" or "everyone else did it" childhood claims so as to make excuses for the worst of what humans do to other humans.

America did not have to invent slavery to be responsible for the hideous history of it here.
But most Americans feel we can and should be even better than any that came before us.

I know it's so easy here in the year 2021 to say "slavery bad". That wasn't the case back in them olden days.
It might have gotten you in a heap of trouble personably and politically to say "slavery bad", "white supremacy bad".
Just ask old Abe, he couldn't quite say those words himself, probably because he had different priorities personally and politically and often said the opposite.
I'm not responsible for the sins of the ancestors, for good or for bad they were men of their times. I don't need to make scoundrels out of heroes or heroes out of scoundrels to push some modern-day agenda as the pandering pols often do.
I don't need myths, I only need to know what actually happened and learn from it.
Considering the worst horrors of what humans do to other humans has occurred in the 20th Century until now, what has anybody learned?

Oh, my bad, every word was made up at some point in time. Tail, I think you're correct. The name would be much more meaningful if some old white man picked it. Maybe some high ranking KKK official, as they have had much interaction with black folks over our history.
