  1. I'm a white Anglo-Saxon (descent) Australian who went to college in America. I'm an engineer but my mother was a high school teacher who wanted me to understand history. One of the key things about being honest about history is just how brutal EVERY tribe and nation has been at times. Every tribe and nation ahs at one time or another practised some incredible brutality. Slavery was practiced by EVERY tribe and nation and anytime slaves revolted it was put down with staggering brutality. The Romans had that great slave revolt lead by Spartacus and it wasn't the first time. Do you know that for 1000s of years there was no difference between the concept of slaves and employees that there weren't 2 words. That's one of the confusing things about the Bible's use of the word slave. In the older languages the word slave could mean a person you owned as well as a person you employed and paid wages to. One of the things rarely spoken about by African Americans is how the black slaves were captured in Africa. If you go and watch either the 1977 or 2016 versions of "Roots" based on Alex Haley's books, Kunta Kinte was captured by a rival African tribe and sold to the white slavers. Just as happened in so many other places it was people of rival tribes or factions within a tribe who did the initial enslavement. Its right there in Jewish history how Joseph's older brothers sold him into slavery out of jealousy -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_(Genesis). Most Australian's watched Mel Gibsons "Braveheart" and cheered on the Scots and derided the English until they realised it was their ancestors who were the English and hand drawn and quartered William Wallace. But then on the Scots side they laud Robert the Bruce but he was also a total psycho who murdered any all challengers to his throne. In one case he threw a baby against a rock wall to kill it, because that baby was related to him and was in the line of succession to the Scottish throne. Its why the Bruce royal family died out - he killed them all off. EVERY tribe and nation has its dark past including racism and EVERY tribe and nation tries to hide it or deny it.
