Ha this is comical. Don’t get carried away now.....At least the USA acknowledges its past and issues with race for the most part,
And the Arab countries as well, as slavery started with Arab countries first
Partially true, while they were first Europeans in the African slave trade, they bought their slaves from the Arabs originally, and in the Arab world slavery was last "officially" abolished in Mauritania in 1981The Portuguese were the main ones. The saying goes that the Portuguese were the first to start the slave trade and the last to end it. Brazil didn't abolish slavery until 1888 and were still importing Yoruba slaves to Brazil as late as the 1830's.
Knew the Arab slavery sugarcoating and justifing would come into this convo.Slavery in the Arab countries was nothing like the Atlantic Slave trade.
The reality is that without the inherent racial notions of inferiority that were true in Europe slavery functioned differently in Middle East. An easy way to discuss slavery historically is that all slavery is wrong, but all slavery is not the same. Slaves in the Islamic trade served a different function, had a slightly better legal position compared to European slaves, and had a very real chance to successfully transition into society post-slavery. Without the racial system that forced blacks to be subservient to whites, a former slave in the Middle East had better social outcomes. There was still prejudice against Africans, particularly in some parts of the broader Islamic world, but there were always black Muslims and that made a large difference. Slavery is always a function of the socio-legal system of any given society, and Africans simply weren’t dehumanized in the same way in the Middle East.
Oh that wasn't the case. They fell in love, got married and had kids.Wow, those women were willingly marrying men who were colonizing their country. smh
I get 'self first' 'secure the bag' but dang.
They are are original colonizers. So he speaks nothing but truths.He isn’t lying. Water is wet.
But watch the deluded yt brits deny that this is true just like they downplay how evil their empire was, and just last week the British government released a commission report which stated systemic racism doesn’t exist here.
I am tired.

Jesse Jackson calls Britain the ‘mother of racism’
Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities report claimed no evidence of institutional racism in UKwww.independent.co.uk
They are heavily in denial about their racism, it is disturbing to say the least.They are are original colonizers. So he speaks nothing but truths.
Agreed but Europeans often like to deflect by focusing on 'racist Americans'. Worry about racism in your home country..Yep. UK, France, Portugal, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Holland.
Heck even Sweden partook in the trans Atlantic trade.
Call them ALL out.
I am tired of white Europeans acting morally better than white Americans when:
1) white Americans are originally from Europe
2) Europe is the birthplace of white supremacy, racism etc
3) Black people experience systemic racism, micro-aggressions, discrimination with law enforcement and overt and covert racism here too!
Exactly!Agreed but Europeans often like to deflect by focusing on 'racist Americans'. Worry about racism in your home country..
