In adjacent paragraphs the article implies a similarity of the African Slave Trade which involved tens of millions of slaves by many European Countries and many African and Islamic countries over a period of hundreds of years to the relocation of perhaps tens of thousands of American Indians over a few years is quite an unreasonable stretch.

For the last four articles mine have been the only comnents. Either nobody reads this blog or those who do have nothing to contribute. Should I continue to read this blog?
