“They keep blaming America for the sin of slavery,” Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich began. “But the truth is, throughout human history, slavery has existed, and America came along as the first country to end it within 150 years. And we get no credit for that, to move forward and try to make good on that.”
Townhall.com editor Katie Pavlich asks a question during a joint news conference between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2017. By Meagan Flynn Meagan Flynn Morning Mix reporter Email Bio Follow March 20 at 7:11 AM The debate didn’t last long before it was time to cut to commercial.
“They keep blaming America for the sin of slavery,” she began, without specifying whom “they” is. “But the truth is, throughout human history, slavery has existed, and America came along as the first country to end it within 150 years. And we get no credit for that, to move forward and try to make good on that.”"They keep blaming America for slavery, but the truth is that throughout human history slavery has existed. America came along as the first country to end it within 150 years.
Pavlich later tweeted a further explanation for her comments, saying that she misspoke. She meant to say America was “one of” the first countries to end slavery within 150 years “from the point of its founding.” “My argument stands,” she said in response to journalist Soledad O’Brien, who called her a “complete moron,” adding “but please @soledadobrien please continue name calling as your argument and the smearing of America as the originator of slavery.
Robert Perkinson, a historian focusing on race and slavery at the University of Hawaii, told The Post that a legitimate conversation about reparations would have to extend beyond the date slavery began and ended, and must reckon with the institutional racism that continued for decades after the 13th Amendment’s passage in 1865.
In a tweet, Kruse offered Pavlich a list of 15 countries that outlawed slavery significantly faster than the United States from the date the countries were founded. Haiti outlawed slavery immediately after becoming an independent nation, after slaves led a revolt to overthrow the French government. Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras all trashed the institution within three years of becoming independent countries.
She then added: “Also, a nation gets no credit for ‘ending’ a violent atrocity that it allowed and cultivated on its soil and in other nations.”
