[Gregory H.]

Actually, the origina premise is correct–blacks are the only ones who were stripped of culture and religion. While Native Americans were, basically destroyed, no effort was made to separate them from their history and culture as a means of controlling and pacifying them. The same is true of Chinese immigrant laborers, who were allowed to live together and, on their own time (they weren’t slaves, after all) to nurture the culture, practices and history of their homeland. African slaves, on the other hand, were separated from their relatives and others who spoke the same language in order that the knowledge of culture, history and language that threatened the slave owners would be destroyed. It was remarkably efficient. Chinese laborers were not disallowed from speaking Chinese, having and keeping their children/maintaining their families, and teaching their posterity the history and culture of their people. That practice has been reserved for one group; the group that was brought here as slaves (not indentured servants, which, though bad, cannot truly compare to American Slavery).
