They did.

It’s true that most Americans seem to believe that all human history began with its colonization by English settlers and, yes, that’s a myopic view.  It’s hard to understand as well but the rest of us haven’t gotten used to it.

I don’t know what you find to be “terrified mewling” but since US policy is to pay for and utilize the concentration camps, and are openly doing so without any qualms, I’d say you need to buy a dictionary.

They did.

Given that white colonial settlers were more than happy to enslave fellow white Britons right up until Britain abolished all slavery, I’d say that your take is not correct.

As I said before, I am fully in support of border security and if that requires holding illegal immigrants in concentration camps pending resolution of their application to enter the US, then that’s fine with me.

No, it’s not a “strawman”. White English settlers did, in fact, enslave fellow white English people in America.

Trump didn’t run last year. Extrapolating local elections to a national one is senseless. And given that Trump already won once with this platform you’d think you’d learn but I see there’s little hope for that.

No, I dismissed your comment because it adds nothing to the conversation.  You’re essentially having a conversation with yourself and patting yourself on the back for saying nothing whatsoever.

Everyone that realizes idiocy when they see it.

What makes you so sure there weren’t?

I know you love living in the Splinter echo chamber, where everyone thinks open borders is a winning idea, but for those of us that live in and understand reality, you’re tiresome and the reason why we keep losing.

In your scenario, the one characteristic the white slaves would likely share would be that they (or their parents) had been conquered by some other white tribe. For most of history, if you were conquered by some other tribe, you ended up as their slave (or being sold to some other tribe) although the Romans later let…

Slavery in the North was legal after it was banned in the South/Confederacy since the Emancipation Proclamation didn’t free any slaves in the US.

Many of them were at least half-white.

Because it tends to show that, throughout history, people have enslaved other people regardless of race. Had colonial/American landowners been able to enslave white people more cheaply than through the African slave trade, they would have done so.

Well, slavery did exist for at least a few thousand years and it wasn’t based on race. Romans enslaved other Italians in droves, Africans enslaved other Africans, etc., etc., etc.

I’m sure that local conservatives are very eager to hear your sob story about concentration camps and I’m certain that once they hear your views, their entire political mindset will magically change!  It’s truly the solution that the world needs.  Good luck, son.

You can make whatever counterproductive ad you wish. The fact remains that most Americans either (a) don’t care at all; (b) actively support putting illegal immigrants in concentration camps, prisons, or (c) simply denying them entry into the US altogether and forcing them to return to their home or stay in Mexico.…

If you think the majority of Americans consider the concentration camps where the US is currently housing illegal immigrants as the equivalent of Auschwitz, you’re a perfect example of whyDemocrats lost the White House to an unhinged game show host and are likely to do the same again soon.
