WASHINGTON, D.C. – Who got the worst of the world-wide tragedy that was (is?) human slavery – white people or black people? Steve King seems to point to “evidence” that whites lost more than the blacks.
Iowa Congressmen Steve King – who calls himself an “agribusinessman,” not a history professor – said Saturday via a tweet that “Confirmed in “Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters” by Robert C. Davis-Ohio State University. As many as 1,250,000 whites enslaved by Muslims while 600,000 black Africans were enslaved in what is now the U.S. & 600,000 white Americans lost their lives in the struggle to end slavery.”
What is your opinion – is slavery a tragedy for all of humanity, or is it true that one race was victimized over another?
