lol point? There is no point..Just like there wasn't any point in American Slavery.
My message was merely an informative one only for the sole sake of the consideration of any interested reader.
It came as a epiphany so I sought out more on the subject and I thought I just thought I'd mention it for the sake of enlightenment for those that were curious. Could be anyone.
Slavery did have a point! Money!

Untrue.The fact that you view the world from an American point of view, does not make slavery statistics any better. Arabs were and still are notorious for slavery.
Who's talking about Arabs?
I was referring to the 1800s in America. Nearly all slaves back then were black

I see you trying to assert your power over me in your reply. I'm saying that slavery is about taking the power away from another... usually for money or pleasure or conquest or whatever. But it's man's weird obsession with dominating things that makes slavery more about power than anything else.
It's about putting the fear of death into someone, unless they do exactly as you say. I think everyone wants more money. But to enslave something takes a hatred, or even worse, a lack of acknowledgement as a worthy being.
*power-trip* ... and don't yell at me again. 😐

Na.. Slavery was pointless. It shouldn't of happened. Breathing has a point. Getting a job has a point. Speaking the truth has a point. Wearing clothes has a point. Slavery had the hellish objectives it had but owning people as property and forcing them to work for free was naturally pointless. I'd equate slavery with ignorance more than with having a point.

Well, if it haven't had a point people wouldn't have done it, now would they?

The objective was to make money by having others work free under a cloak of imminent fear. The whole thing was pointless. All it did was snowball into the hate between races we have today. Good is suppose to come out of something that has a point. Hence slavery being pointless.
Does raping and killing a 4 year old girl have a point?
Andrew Jackson (former U.S. President and slave owner) was with a friend on his plantation, overlooking his "workers" from his porch and was quoted saying to his friend quietly:
"My God. We're all going to pay for this one day."

Si soy Dominicano. Both my parents are from there and I, N.Y. I just think Black slavery was the worse thing to ever happen in the world in the last millennia. To me. In my honest opinion.
I like every race in the world. Whites, Blacks. But Black Slavery is my business because it happen to a race I'm apart of. the Human race. It's all of our business. Anything that changes the face of mankind should be our business and in our interest to be made well of aware of. I'm sure 9/11 affected Cali in some way, insignificantly or not. 9/11 happened in N.Y but the planes took of from here in Boston but it drastically affected the economy in Boston and L.A. I bet which led to a war on terrorism in Iraq. Higher gas prices in the U.S. We all interconnected with major issues that happen to humans. You have the weight of the world on our shoulders.
I know slavery is over, but still. Well, it isn't fully over and it never will be. Racism is still practiced and there is still a black slavery / white master mentality I still see that's pointless.
lol I dunno, I guess I have this superhero complex where it disgust me to my hearts' core to see the big guy picking on the small guy unnecessarily. I love people, my heritage, other peoples cultures. I'm prejudice against ignorant people though. But cool people are cool.

That must have been a spooky realization.

Tell me. Why would you rape and kill a 4 year old girl since you find there's a point to it?..
Everything has a point in someones eyes, or else they wouldn't do it....In this case, it relieves the rappist of their own sick thoughts.

It is a big thing....but the worst of the last millennium? there are very strong cases possible for other incidents.
A strong case would obviously be every other form of Slavery in the last millennium.
Then there was the Inquisition, The Holocaust, Soviet Gulags, Soviet Famine and Party Member killings, South Africa Massacres, Oppression of Palestine, Multiple very disgusting wars...and probably thousand of others I can't think of.....
