while the forebears of their Black and Muslim classmates were busy fighting tooth and nail to keep the institution alive in other parts of the world? If it had have been Muslims and not Europeans who had abolished the slave trade, this would be the focus of much celebration and fanfare. It is only White children who are systematically stripped of their dignity and self-worth and made to loathe their history and their people. Only White children are publicly humiliated in such a way.

The "forebears" of American black children were almost certainly slaves themselves, and usually made as much of an effort toward abolition as they dared.

I doubt your children have any Muslim classmates; people like you have usually never actually met a Muslim.

Perhaps they should learn to have self respect rather than respect borrowed from ancestors.

It may surprise some that Up to one-half of all the arrivals in the American colonies were White slaves and they were America's first slaves.

These Whites were slaves for life, long before Blacks ever were.

This slavery was even hereditary. White children born to White slaves were enslaved too.

Which begs the question why are whites blamed for something they ended through bloodshed of over half a milion lost lives, while blacks and Muslims in other parts of the world were striving to keep it going?

Yep - liberals tend to ignore indentured servitude - but sure like to bandy that term around as equivalent to slavery - while either dismissing or being ignorant of the fact that it first was a term applied to white people.
