It's Scientific American, THE most prestigious scientific publication for amateurs like YOURSELF. IOW, you don't know what you're talking about. As usual.

Yes, because google counts the hits. IF you got a better metric, let's see it. I'll bet YOU DON'T. Just all BS.

Its existence elsewhere does NOT justify INJUSTICE HERE.

"The Portuguese" were ONLY HALF of the slave TRADE. It takes (at least) two to trade.

White American abuse of black people really only substantially ended in the 1960s, so American culture continued to cause HARM until very recently. And to the point that the US government sanctioned such abuse with legal segregation, it is RESPONSIBLE.

You have a vivid imagination. LMAO

IF you pull out your gun to shoot someone who is denying your free speech, you will go to prison for murder (if he dies). Individuals denying your free speech, or even the government, does not convey the right to use violence. Go to court and get your right restored.

The Real Problem with Charles Murray and "The Bell Curve"

An analogy is NOT necessarily an equivalence. You see cannibalism of a living person is ALSO murder; obviously not equivalent to slavery. Maybe you should call it an appeal to emotion FALLACY, cause it was never suggested as an equivalence.

Your id iocy has little to do with ANYTHING despite you repeating that drivel over and over. ?

You're denying the guilt of slave BUYERS by BLAMING ONLY the sellers. ㊙️ Slaves suffered much more from abuse by the OWNERS for their whole lives than from the sellers.

My feelings are not hurt, because you just keep doubling down on ID IOCY. You're so dumb, you don't even understand how you keep embarrassing YOURSELF. LMAO

Americans are very wealthy; thanks in part to slaves helping to build it.

The US government was and is responsible for sanctioning the violation of slaves' rights.

POINT ---------- Your head.

Democrats today may share the name but racists move to the Republican Party in the 1960s. Do they teach US History in Canada?

Only a child would not see the unbroken connection between starting and perpetrating. The former DOES NOT justify the latter.

Apparently strawman arguments ARE for you. It is the US government which is responsible for past slavery.

I am happy that you continue to display your ID IOTIC lack of logic.

The property which was STOLEN was the WAGES they had a right to expect. You have no guilt cause you didn't own slaves. You are FALSELY claiming that the SLACE OWNERS had no guilt for KEEPING and ABUSING SLAVES. I thought you claimed to be smart. LMAO

Maybe you should read more slowly and then you might understand I referred to the US government still being around today. Of course you know it is, right? That's the same US government which established the legality of slavery. Unbroken chain of existence.

Just admit that you suffer from a complete LACK OF LOGIC (as illustrated by you superfluous cite ^here) and move on.

The US government is NOT JUST "white Americans." I'm ok with prorated reimbursement.

Absolutely. It is YOUR FAILUE of LOGIC. So I guess you're the one high on meth.

So you're doubling down on your simpleton PRETENSE that there was ONLY ONE REASON. Thanks for demonstrating YOU don't have the education to understand why that's wrong. Americans WHO BOUGHT slaves ARE TO BLAME. Only an id iot would deny HALF of the responsibility. RACIST DEMOCRATS in the South WERE WHITE Americans. You should think before clicking "Submit." Perpetrating the slave trade is JUST AS EVIL as STARTING IT despite your PATHETIC DEFLECTION.
