@Cris The rhetoric is controversial, but there's more than a nugget of truth here.
People, we can't cherry pick historical facts that we find comfortable.
The American system of enslavement was horrible, absolutely YES, but far more slaves were taken to the Middle-East, from both Africa, and Europe. Their treatment was... horrifying to the extreme.
Mother Teresa was a fine, outstanding human being, but she also supported the incredibly oppressive caste system.
We have to accept history as it was: anything else is a lie, and a delusion.
