But I think it's important to address the idea of slavery early. Wasn't their choice. Then we "Freed" them, and began suppressing their rights over all?

They hold all the moral cards. It is centuries past time for reparations but we must be active about seeing to it that serious discussion takes place while Democrats are quasi-powerful in Congress. That topic has gone totally silent, after a lot of media attention last year.
