I understand that, but *every* race and people has been enslaved or persecuted at one time or another. Also, Africans caught and sold their own people and apparently still do today.
I didn't commit any of these acts so I feel no guilt or obligation. Also none of the people alive today were victims of it and have no right to claim otherwise. That would be like citizens of the U.S. demanding Britain redress the era before the American Revolution, or Israelis demanding Egypt pay up, or the Greeks, Romans and many Europeans or so many countless peoples who were mistreated or enslaved. Genghis, or Atilla. Where does it end? Who decides whose claims are valid and whose aren't?
I think all this ever is: governments look for any way of separating us using Alexander the Great's "Divide and Conquer" tactic.
