And I'm not sure why you can't understand this simple concept. It's not about, "Oh, it was legal so it's all good." That's not the point.
The point is that America allowed and perpetuated the institution of slavery, which was/is evil and wrong, and turned a blind eye to the ill treatment of a specific group of its citizens when it should have protected them the same as it would have protected any of its citizens. There is literally no one with a brain trying to argue that slavery was OK because some of the transactions made were "legal."
Why does it seem that when it comes to this topic, people suddenly lose brain cells?
