Slaves-Sugar-Rum.
Those cops died in Dallas for reason of European evils committed centuries ago.

This has nothing to do with the petty politics of hate we have today -- history comes back to haunt us.
Agreed. Pity Americans aren't civilised enough to get over it.

How long, after the civil war to free the slaves, till Martin Luther King and others were able to get equal rights based on the colour of a mans skin?
