Around the same historical time frame, most everyone in the white population was a serf, which is just the European name for slave. They were owned by their Land Lord Masters. The word slave comes from "Slav," referring to the Slavic race.

The famous "Cossack Warriors," were escaped serfs/slaves who refused to take it anymore.

My Great Grand Father came to America from Ireland because the English were in the process of deliberately starving over 3 million of them to death. He had to stow away on a ship, and when he was discovered, they put him in one of the life boats and drug him across the Atlantic tied by rope to the ship. They provided him with a piece of bread and bottle of water daily. But he lived through it and was able to send relief to help some of his family members avoid starvation.

Hell, most everybody who came to America was running for their lives in one way or another. Where do reparations start, and where do they end?

EDIT: We were a nation of victims, who refused to be victims. But now our social engineers are trying their hardest to turn the truth upside down. And sadly getting away with it.
