So you agree you hadn't even done a quick search before your previous comment. Good chance you haven't bothered actually checking any of your other facts in this comment as well.
> They were your people
German and Irish Catholics? "My people" (the ones I'm directly related to) enlisted with the Union soon after arriving, and their bretheren in the South were often killed by white Christian slaveholders in the US Civil War. But I guess you'll also tell me the US Civil War had nothing to do with slavery at all. Despite being white and Christian they were often persecuted at the time even in the North.
> The slave traders weren't Christian. They weren't white.
Absolute drivel completely divorced from easily looked up history. Even more disconnected from reality as "nobody spoke Spanish in the US" and "The US was 95% white in 1980". You should try doing a quick search on this "fact" as well. Many were white. Many were Christian. Not all, for sure, but many.
