Limbaugh on Slavery

Rush Limbaugh (from RawStory):
If any race of people should not have guilt about slavery, it’s Caucasians. The white race has probably had fewer slaves and for a briefer period of time than any other in the history of the world. ... It’s preposterous that Caucasians are blamed for slavery when they’ve done more to end it than any other race...

As disgusting as it is, I can't help but be amused by the logic. "Yeah, sure. We may have carted entire shiploads of people to distant lands, to be worked to death under the Caribbean sun or bred like cattle on Virginia plantations, but everyone was doing it back then. And we stopped eventually. Why don't we ever get credit for stopping?"
