You are whitewashing racist history. Per your logic, we should have no guilt because Africans were the ones who delivered other Africans to the Europeans. It’s like saying “but you don’t care about black on black crime” when we cry about the cops disproportionately murdering black Americans.
You’re trying to excuse American slavery as just like any other historical slavic institution so we can forget about it, when we know this nation has a long legacy of racism and racial oppression, and institutional racism that is evident to this day. Blacks still feel the effects of slavery and segregation.
Christian slaves in Rome and Islam was not on the basis of race. American slavery was specifically blacks. Along with it came decades of intimidation and attacks on black Americans whenever they tried to move past their primitive and backwards connection with slavery. Whites lynched successful blacks, they justified killings on lies that blacks were raping white women. They created caricatures of blacks to ensure everyone still connected them with dullness, stupidity and backwardness. Whites staged huge protests whenever blacks moved up the ladder in the workplace. They had their own organizations to ensure no black people had jobs until all jobs for whites were filled.
Whites owned black slaves in America, and sold their offspring to be slaves for other white masters. Some freed people would never reunite with their families. White masters would make accommodations for pregnant slaves, digging a hole in the ground to protect the womb while lashing a whip against her back as punishment.
If you’re so intelligent about history, then you probably know that blacks were robbed after the end of the Civil War, and President Johnson scrapped all plans of Reconstruction. Blacks have never received reparations for generations of slavery and have largely had to build their financial status today, which is unchanged since the late 1960s, all by themselves.
You want to ignore this country’s deeply intwined and lasting relationship with racism just to make yourself feel better. You make me sick.
