Please show me a source describing the racial makeup of slavery in the United States between 1619 and 1865. I'll bet the percentage was 80-90%. Prove me wrong.

Regardless of when it was written, Christians apply lessons they get from the Bible to things in the present. And in our present, slavery is most often used to describe American slavery, which was the enslavement of a predominately black population.

lol what? Plenty of people in the present also choose to talk about/reference slavery in general, which has existed for millennia and affected every population group in the world.
