I stated that freedom was lost in 1968.

More like 1868 as the aftermath of the War of Northern Aggression ... :~)

Also, I was not
defending any "right-wing extremist" position. I did
recount the interview and the answer that the author made, I
was not characterizing his answer to a question, The
author, Keith Richburg said he was thankful his ancestors
had been brought to this country so he never had to live in
Africa. I would say that "brought to" is slavery.

Oddly, there have been several times more immigrants in the past 50 years
from Africa than were brought as slaves in the early 19th century.

Not odd at all when you consider the importation of slaves into the
US was abolished early in the 19th century, or when one compares
world populations. I'll bet more people died in the 20th century than
had lived beofor the 20th centrury.
