Funny how the only infatuation with slavery is in a country where it was abolished over 150 years ago. And it's only liberals that talk about it.

I enjoyed some white privilege today at Walmart. The faster checkout line for whites is great.

Well if you are white, you can say that your race of people enslaved blacks in the United States for over 2 centuries. I can't.

Yes you can.

Afro-Mexicans (Spanish: afromexicanos; negros; afrodescendientes)[1] are Mexicans of African descent.[2][3] Also known as Black Mexicans,[3] they are an ethnic group made up of recent immigrants of African descent to Mexico and the descendants of slaves,[2] such as in the communities of the Costa Chica of Oaxaca and Guerrero, Veracruz and in some cities in northern Mexico. The history of blacks in Mexico has been lesser known for a number of reasons: their relatively small numbers, regular intermarriage with other ethnic groups, and Mexico’s tradition of defining itself as a “mestizaje” or mixing culture.

Mexico had an active slave trade since the early colonial period and an estimated 200,000 Africans were brought there. From the beginning, the slaves, who were mostly male, intermarried with indigenous women. In some cases Spanish colonists had unions with female slaves. Spanish colonists created an elaborate racial caste system, classifying people by racial mixture. This system broke down in the very late colonial period; after Independence, the legal notion of race was eliminated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Mexican

The historical record, of course, tells another story. In the sixteenth century, New Spain--as Mexico was then called--probably had more enslaved Africans than any other colony in the Western Hemisphere. Blacks were present as slaves of the Spaniards as early as the 1520s. Over the approximately three hundred years it lasted, the slave trade brought about 200,000 Africans to the colony. Many blacks were born in Mexico and followed their parents into slavery. Not until 1829 was the institution abolished by the leaders of the newly independent nation.

http://smithsonianeducation.org/migratio...lmleg.html

The largest number of Africans arrived in the Mexican territory during the three hundred years of the colonial period, 1521-1821. It is estimated that approximately 200,000 Africans were brought into present-day Mexico during this period. Africans came as slaves, forced to leave their homes and work for the Spanish colonists on their sugar estates, in silver mines, and as domestic servants.

Mexico never had slavery

Bumping to see if Fitbud admits to slavery in Mexico.

While that is true, who sold those slaves to western slave traders? So, you must also say that black people enslaved blacks in the United States for over 2 centuries.

While I get your overarching, and important point, "white" people (and a bunch of others) enslaved blacks in the United States for about 80+ years. And that's not really a "technicality".

80 years? Are you high? Try more like 250 years.

No, do the math. Remember, prior to 1781 there was no "United States" - colonies of England, so England gets to own that slavery period.

My father worked for 35 years at the top of the human resources department in one of the ten largest corporations. He told me that if reincarnation is real, he wants to come back as a black, female, lesbian, Eskimo. Then he could shoot up the corporate ladder at light speed.

White privilege my a$$.

According to the reports of the first Europeans to visit the New World, slavery was almost universal in what is now Mexico and Central America. Theoretically, with the arrival of Europeans, that should have changed.

http://www.mexconnect.com/articles/666-s...-in-mexico

Scholars have long been acquainted with the history of slavery in Mexico. In fact, long before the first Spanish galleons appeared on the horizon, the practice of slavery was common amongst several indigenous tribes in Mexico. So while it may be said that the Spanish did not invent slavery, they nonetheless relied upon it to expand their empire and to increase their already enormous wealth.

http://www.mexonline.com/history-blacks.htm

Mexico is a large source, transit, and destination country for persons trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. Groups considered most vulnerable to human trafficking in Mexico include women and children, indigenous persons, and undocumented migrants. A significant number of Mexican women, girls, and boys are trafficked within the country for commercial sexual exploitation, lured by false job offers from poor rural regions to urban, border, and tourist areas. According to the government, more than 20,000 Mexican children are victims of sex trafficking every year, especially in tourist and border areas. - U.S. State Dept Trafficking in Persons Report, June, 2009

Conservatives believe in a relatively small, weak central government and a robust private sector. Libs believe in a powerful centralized government and a subservient private sector.

The government of Mexico has been much closer to the liberal model over the last 80 years.
