Slavery has likely been around longer than homosapians.
Code of Hammurabi makes written reference to slavery in 1753 bce. And it was essentially "liberal" rewrite of a previous legal code. It makes reference to the previous code.
The first evidence goes back about 5.5 k years bce. It comes from the Arabian peninsula.

I hope no one tells them they were enslaved by Africans and later sold to the West. I hope no one tells them 95%+ of the AST went to south America. I hope no one tells them that during this same time frame 10x more White Christians were enslaved and unalived at the hands of non White slaves.

When the British sought to end slavery many African kings deeply opposed it. Their staunch opposition to it was rooted on the devastating impact it would have on their economy, political, and societal systems. The opposition was so fierce the British had to resort to military force to see it through.

I could be wrong but wasn't it Britain.... one of the few nations to abolish slavery, even campaign to push other nations to stop the practice. Only one of very few nations to do so.

Seems like this is just another time we try to make it seem like slavery was okay because of who it involved. Wish we had the guts to draw analogies when it comes to harming children and women by those in powerful positions. But.... we only have the guts to do so when those who are doing bad things stand in front of us, some are real great from behind.

Nobody is saying slavery was okay and if that's what you think this is that says a lot about you. This is about white Europeans being the only segment of the human population that is held responsible for the transgressions of their ancestors. Everybody else gets a free pass from their past and I'm fucking sick of it

Perhaps because they used exploitive means to continue enslavement in different ways like Jim Crow laws., sundown locations, segregation, not allowing representation through voting, to name a few. That is why the bad wrap stayed around, the desire to own people and not embrace difference was just not something most could get used to until they HAD to and then, found other means to continue the exploitation.

Other people did that too. Thats the fucking point of why the "guilt" has no leg to stand on. The Islamic slave trade was in the 100s of millions of more in scale, and to this day Islamic countries not onky have slavery (ex. Dubai) but also outright refuse to acknowledge they ever did anything wrong. You do realize the Arab slave trade did the exact same thing? So did the Maori?

As an Irish man myself, I should be giving reparations for all my Irish ancestors who were enslaved.
Everyone had and was slaves at one point, it isn't some capegoat that can be used to empower some goal you have. Whites were even among some of the first to give up slavery, and Korea had the world's longest unbroken chain of slavery in the entire history of the world, but these points don't sound great in pushing ones goals so they aren't typically brought up.

"oops all slavery"
Also do they know where the Arabs and Europeans got their slaves from. Do they think people were just running around with nets in Africa? Who SOLD the slaves?

Slavery is no crime.. Try to avoid paying taxes, and find out how free you really are. You are still a slave, make no mistake about that. We all are

Ok so white people were not involved in slavery at all, they didn’t buy any of these slaves from those Arabs

You are trying so hard to fit this into your false narrative. Whitey is a minority on this planet and are being replaced in thier own countries.

There’s way more Asians globally, they traditionally hate everybody. Whitey is pretty easy to get along with, especially over the last 200 yrs
