damn.. there goes my reason for being racist.

just kidding. Im not racist. But I do believe that slaves were ALSO captured, before they were sold in America. Not only purchased from African kings. It does kind of nullify my point that racism caused slavery, but oh well, I guess I was wrong about that.

KUNTA KENTE!!!
