We aren't "Created Equal", and we have no control over it. What we
CAN do is to treat one another as Equals Before our Laws, as G* would
want, and that's the stuff of Liberty, not Freedum. You cannot make
people "Free" but you can give them Liberty.
Otherwise what you say is fairly accurate: slavery is something
we carried OUT OF AFRICA after we'd largely exterminated the hyenas
and *stolen their meat*: that's real GENOCIDE ;-]
