bullshit, the first african slave was brought to Virginia in the 1620s, by the 1640s American slavery of Africans was firmly established, what you speak of is merely a technicality, but the slaves would have argued the there was indeed an America, and they were the slaves which built it. shit, the wall that Named "Wall Street" was built by a dozen African slaves to the dutch. just because it was not called "The United States of America" does not mean it was not america, nor does it mean it is not connected. the racist policies which this country was built upon are the same policies which resulted in the unfortunate incident which you were referring to above. i am a historian remember? everything is connected.
hence, it has been the same bullshit since the 17th century.
