[edit] Slaveholder— but not American

I do not feel that Diallo qualifies for Category:American slaveholders, because he was niether an American citizen nor did he own slaves in America. Also, I barely feel that he qualifies for Category:Slaveholders, because his owning of slaves has nothing to do with his plight through the Transatlantic slave trade or any other documented part of his life. Nothing is discussed for the reasons why him being a slave-owner was important in his life, yet the only indication found in various sources concerning Diallo is that he merely had slaves. —№tǒŖïøŭş4lĭfė ♫♪ Comment was by Notorious4life at 19:06 on 13 July 2006.
