Maybe the slave owners from the South should pay for all of this crap. The North didn't do it but the South did.
The Nigerians enslaved their own people and sold them to Europeans who brought them over here. One of the reasons we became our own country instead of bowing down to England was because most Americans were against slavery. Thats why Vermont literally abolished slavery 1 year after the declaration of independence was signed and many of the other states shortly after. Also keep in mind that only 5% of the slaves shipped to the new world ended up in what would be the United States. Brazil took the lions share of slaves taking in 40% of them. Also, slavery was world wide, not just in the US. There were at least a million white Christians enslaved(North Africans used to come up to Europe in the 1600s and capture towns and sell them to the muslim Arabs.) You don't hear much about this because white people generally don't have a victim mentality (except for maybe the last 20 years or so from people on the left and they're mostly woman and feminine men). This is also probably one of the reasons you see a lot of "white arabs". Look at Ali Khamenei. Does that guy look Arab to you? He's white as hell. Especially when compared to Ahmadinejad. Every race has been a slave. People only focus on slavery in the US because we're the most powerful nation on Earth and blacks here think they can get something for nothing if they bitch enough. Blacks in Brazil don't complain because there isn't anything to get. Even those brazil was the last country in the Americans to abolish slavery, they never bitch about how big slavery was there.

I'm sorry, what is the title of this thread again? "... People who pull down statues in Nazi Germany and Soviet Union are heros." What does Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union have any the fucking thing to do with today? Please give me that seventh-grade history lesson again. What the FACK does Nazi Germany have to do with anything? What the FACK does the Soviet Union have to do with anything, as it all relates to today? Were you even alive when those two things existed? You don't know shit, Lebowski.
I'm talking about tearing down statues and symbols. The question is when is it good and when is it bad. Someone then implied that it was not heroic to tear down an Abe Lincoln statue. Then we got into the discussion of slavery. What the fuck are you talking about.
It is good when you tear down a statue or symbol that represents genocide. It is not good when you tear down a symbol or statue that represents the abolishment of something like slavery. WTF, do you need a Cliffs' notes or Dummies book on this?
https://www.history.com/news/5-things-you-may-not-know-about-lincoln-slavery-and-emancipation 1. Lincoln wasn’t an abolitionist. Didn't know I was talking to an expert. Were you around back then? Can you tell us where History.com got it wrong?
"...What he did believe was that, like all men, black men had the right to improve their condition in society and to enjoy the fruits of their labor. In this way they were equal to white men, and for this reason slavery was inherently unjust. Like his views on emancipation, Lincoln’s position on social and political equality for African Americans would evolve over the course of his presidency. In the last speech of his life, delivered on April 11, 1865, he argued for limited black suffrage, saying that any black man who had served the Union during the Civil War should have the right to vote..."
