Just look at your 3 point summary of the history of slavery in your deleted post. It is an embarrassment - historical revisionism at its worst. You should be ashamed of yourself. That must be why you tried to delete it.
I mean, when you have such a ridiculous take on history combined with statements like "In the USA, we could only tolerate so many blacks" and "I refuse to use the term African-American," people are gonna draw their own conclusions.

I deleted my post because I actually wanted to stop talking to you.
You seem to have a serious issue with history.
"In the USA, we could only tolerate so many blacks"- What's wrong with that statement? It has been proven throughout our history. Freed blacks did decently well in Virginia before Africans began to be imported rapidly in the late 17th century. After more blacks came to America, even the free blacks were victims of the racism against blacks(free or not, native or not). The slave codes of 1705 weren't written at that particular time for no reason. Also, in the North, after the Civil War, blacks enjoyed many more freedoms than in the South. Although this general pattern continued up until the Civil Rights era, we see something happen in the early 1900s. As soon as more and more blacks began to move north, you start to see laws and practices become the norm that marginalized blacks. This only happened when the black population reached a point to where the local white population would not put up with it anymore. Our history is clear, more blacks=less toleration by whites. If this makes you draw any conclusion besides learning something, I don't know what to tell you.
"I refuse to use the term African-American"- Why do you keep bringing this up? Why don't you include the entire statement I made with that quotation you bring up every post? >>"Black Americans are American as apple pie. Most of them came here before 1800, while most whites came after that point. It's one reason I refuse to use the term African-American. It "others" them when they are American and have contributed to our history and culture as much as any population could that represents 13% of the population"(total racists right there! LOL)<<What does it have to do with slavery? Are you so narrowly focused that you can only equate blacks with slavery? If so, its obvious why you haven't been able to follow this conversation. You're also just trying to paint me as some racist KKK member with every word you pick. It's lame, it's not going to work. But I know why you would do that. You've added nothing to the conversation and you don't know what you're talking about(about what you do know or admitting what you don't know) so of course, you will end up trying to smear me as some racist redneck. You suck lol
