You are right! And I'm showing the rest of the people how absurd you position has been.Actually, I don't think you're open to having your mind changed (and if you are, I doubt you'd admit it - people tend to be reluctant to lose face). I'm trying to convince the other people reading the thread.
As one who lived in Venezuela and married to a Venezuelan, for you to say that today's problems are because of slavery is not only not supportable but ludicrous.
