To me it's not about looking for the good things, it's looking for the truth, and if "good things" happen to come out of the truth then so be it.
For you its perception.

The truth, the WHOLE THRUTH, and nothing but the truth. Ever heard that in your line of work Jimmy?

You can't imagine that there are people who aren't aware of how slaves were brought over and that other countries had slaves?....

The title seems misleading, but the content is real. Done by a black historian.

This is pretty revealing.  The Part at 1:48

Quote:You know the story we got when we were kids that your ancestors were out one sunday with his girlfriend and some white man jumps out of the bush and throws a net over him...  Its not how it happened.  Slavery was big business. Africans sold other africans to the Europeans.

Sounds like he's saying that for dramatic effect, unless its some sort of generational misinformation.  I was never taught that it was the Europeans actually capturing the Africans.  Never taught that in HS, never heard that in any African Studies classes in College.

Regardless.  The fact that Africans were sold to Europeans does not denigrate the atrocity of slavery itself.  No matter how you look at it, the US benefited greatly from this atrocity in its formative years.  That is a fact that we cannot hide from.
