    About time, too! It's very, very, very long overdue.

    I can not imagine the suffering that went on when these many millions of people were rounded up, brutalised, chained, transported in filth, paraded, "bought and sold", used and abused, further brutalised, moved around, "bought and sold again", control!ed, and all the rest. And then lynchings even after the end of slavery... Far worse than even the Holocaust and yet not spoken of...

    Very powerful memorial! I agree that it is long overdue and not something that is really talked about.

    Agree 100%

    Disagree 100% There two different animals, you cant compare one to the other at this level. However there is a common thread - hate.

    Slavery in America basically came at the hands of European white males, sanctioned by their religion, Christianity, for the purpose of greed. European whites are basically the same race with religion that perpetrates great wrongs against LGBT people. What does this say about this race and origin and Christianity?

    Follow up statement. It is now coming to light that it's whites who basically voted for Trump, not because of jobs and a better life, but for reestablishing dominance.

    Follow up statement 2: It's not just Blacks who suffered with slavery. It's Native Americans who were driven into slaver by Christian Spanish.
