But the shame of slavery during that time period extended to exploitation of anyone those with the resources could exploit.
Exactly. It was about "owning" another person and exploting their labor for one's own benefit. It wasn't about race. Both Blacks and Whites owned slaves, and were slaves.
The page you linked to states, "Here are the American Indian names of six native animals of Nevada." It doesn't say those are the only native animals of Nevada.
Yes I agree! Seems like they're willing to go on and on about stolen land of yesterday and ignore what's going on today.
If the rancher has proof his family owns the land, why should he pay the government anything??
People leaping to the BLM support is pretty scary, have any of you bothered to see how they run the wild horse herd and kill and injure the foals! BLM is out of control on even the wild horses of North America. Sorry to say, BUT the Native Americans have done NOTHING to stop this!
I bet these fools do not even know that the federal government has swooped in and TAKEN 84% of Nevada's land mass with the force of the BLM.
Was that not wrong to do so? Call me crazy, but that was quite immoral on their part.
I was not commenting on the morality of the practice. I think you know by now that I think any type of slavery or coerced labor is morally reprehensible.
Look at Jayz making mucho $$$$$$$$ in a country founded by all white men, yet he goes and wears that disgusting thing around his neck. If he was still in Africa he'd be chasing zebras, or if he was really lucky he'd be hired help.

What would have become of Africa if its resources and people had not been whored out ?

A good question. Another question would be why didn't the people on the African continent band together to protect their lands, and do something to stop it?
Their enemies in the next town over in the next tribe were also Africans which means they were indeed "their people". Your attempts to dismiss facts are pathetic.
You are going on the assumption, propagated by Europeans, that all "black" people are some formless mass and that one "black" person is the same as any other "black" person. Do you have the same criteria for whites or for Europeans? Why have Europeans been slaughtering each other for millennia (as well as people all over the world)? Aren't the Germans and Jews the same people? If that is the case, why did the Germans slaughter so many of "their people?"
What was that you were saying about facts?
