Slavery was the worst thing to ever happen in America.

Wasn't there something about slavery 'officially' or 'finally' ending, by some quirk or loophole, in 1995? I'd have to Google for the exact details.
There was a recent case in the UK, which abolished slavery about 30 years before the US, where some guys had been kept as slaves for up to 15 years. The UK only made slavery a crime, in the UK, last year.
I guess the reason is until the last decade or so, after the Iron Curtain came down and with an explosion in human trafficking, it wasn't a problem before so no law was needed against it.
I think there's far more slavery/slave trade now in the world, than there has ever been in history.Comment

It was also the worst thing that happened to Ancient Egypt, Rome, Greece, Mongolia, China, Mesopo-fucking-tamia... and... umm... umm... Great Britain. And every fucking place on the face of the earth. It was not just African Americans who were slaves.
And it continues all around the world to this very day. Right now, there's a twelve year old girl in China who's been away from her family for six months working sixteen hour days making Levi jeans. If she makes the train, she might see her loved ones for Chinese New Year. If she misses it, well, back to the grind little bitch! The first world needs some new pants!
The only country that seems to take any grief about slavery is The United States of America. Why is that? They've almost all participated in the practice.
On topic - The screencap says that the U.S. abolished slavery five years ago. It was a joke. Har-de-har-har-har.Comment

In brazil it didn't become illegal until 1900, 35 years after the USA. In Monserrat it was legal until 1987.

In my opinion, there are several reasons. The main ones:
1- Because that's what US itself exports.
See, US cultural exports to most places in the world are... movies. Since movies says slavery was a big deal, most people thinks it is (and let's not fool ourselves, it was THAT big). When you see "in US people kills their presidents so they can have slaves" then... well, you get the point.
2- Because it was one the latest in abolish slavery
At least between the most important countries in the world, US was the last one (or one of the latest) in abolish slavery
3- Because many people confuses racial segregation with slavery
And here comes 1- to help the confusion. Many people thinks that racism in US was slavery, so it's not uncommon to find people who thinks slavery was legal until second half of XX century.
As for the ancient civilizations and slavery, you can't compare a modern country to values that were common at some point. Furthermore, Rome and Greece slavery could be way more benign that slavery in America. And I don't mean America as US, I mean America as America.
A curious factoid: in Argentina and Chile there is no black people. Both countries were between the first in abolish slavery in America, so all of a sudden slaves found themselves without work, home, food... nothing. Therefore, they became cannon fodder in the Independence Wars or did all kind of risky works or moved to Brazil... to be slaves again. The last black population in Argentina died in the Yellow Fever Epidemic due to poor sanitary conditions and the fact they were the only ones willing to work removing the bodies of death people.
Another fact: most of Europe abolished slavery for economic reasons, not moral reasons. But they didn't abolish it in the colonies, so it's a double standard to the very least, both France and UK had slaves until well into XX centuryThis post is endorsed by CIA, KGB, MI6, the Mafia, Illuminati, Kim Jong Il, Worldwide Ninjas Association, Klingon Empire and lolcats.

Perhaps because it runs so completely counter to what this county is supposed to be all about. When a president trips and falls on his face, people talk about it. When the guys from Jackass do the same thing it's ignored because of different expectations.
The nation was founded on the principles of freedom and liberty. For much of it's history, the US has been a beacon of liberty, so when the US does the exact opposite, people notice.For historical display only. This information is not current:

This is actually very true. Slavery existed in Africa long before the Dutch stepped foot in their country to capitalize on the practice and create the Atlantic slave trade.
"In Niger, slavery was officially canceled in 1995. However, Timidria, an anti-slavery organization, said that over 870,000 people were enslaved in the country in 2003. The government of Niger denies the existence of slavery, but Timidria says that there are at least 43,000 slaves in the country nowadays. Many of them are known as "sadako" - female sex slaves. According to the UN and human rights organizations, the situation with slavery is also hard in Sudan, Somalia and Angola." : source :

That moron PastorSinAlot probably believes it still exists today. White American oppressors are giving his family whippins, (just before holding his check for longer at the bank because he's a negro).
What a poor old black person, someone buy his site for $100,000 via Epass to make up for how he's been wronged in this unjust racist world.┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐
