Easy for the democratic process you want to prevail when you can rig it in your favor. Simply put, it wasnt democracy that decided black people could be oppressed, black people didnt have much of a say in whether or not they wanted to be oppressed. Have yourself a gander at the 3/5 compromise, then voter disenfranchisement, then Jim Crow laws. There was NOT a democratic process to be found.

This is what you believe in is it not? If i want something, but the people vote against me, then i have to submit to the people. Well, unfortunately for your ancestors, the people voted that slavery was a good thing. Had people of not wanted slavery, they should have contacted their elected representatives and asked them to change it, or vote for representatives that didnt support slavery. That is democracy..... this is how democracy works.
You have a convoluted idea of what democracy is. Lol.

By the way, just because i'm curious.... which political party supported slavery?
Conservatives. Traditionalists. Reactionaries. All of which happened to belong to the Democratic Party until the shift in the 60s. Hating black people became taboo so it wasnt spoke of anymore.
