So Wait Slavery Was a Choice

So wait, let me get this right now slavery was a choice. So my ancestors didn't get brought over here against theirs wills. So my ancestors wasn't chained and bound to a ship So my ancestors wasn't brought and sold like cattle. Let me get this right now slavery was a choice So wait, my ancestors didn't get beaten and murdered for trying to escape. And my female ancestors wasn't raped and my male ancestors didn't get beaten if they even looked at a white woman. Let me get this right now slavery was a choice. Slavery was never a choice, but it was something horrible that happened to my and your ancestors. So please don't say that slavery was a choice.
