What you should understand is that slavery was a worldwide problem with all "races" being slaves at one time or another. "White" Westerners were the first major culture to abolish it - not only in their own lands but forced the rest of the world to stop it as well. The British had to stop the Dahomies(?) from stealing other people from Africa and selling them wholesale.

This may be true… But how many of the other slaves were from countries founded on ideals. Plus, if God gave equality when one is born… Then somebody must be taking it away, systematically.

#1. The first sentence was a true statement that highly minimizes the actuality of the brutality Africans had endured. Taken from their land, forced labor, chattel slavery by using black women's bodies for breeding the continuation after it was constitutionally abolished in 1808 in a nation built on the promise of "All men are created equal" which happened NOWHERE ELSE in any other country ever! This is why reading is so important! #2. Mexico, Britain, France, and Denmark had all abolished slavery before the United States adopted the 13th Amendment in 1865. In fact the U.S was one of the last to abolish slavery. Brazil was the last in 1888!

A defensive wall of excuses saying nothing.

Perhaps the next time you report a crime to the police, you would be satisfied with the respons " there have always been crimes everywhere, not just here, and we have the most progressive laws to defend people against crime in history". Yes all true, now what has that got to do with the fact that you are reporting a crime? Apply your reasoning to the holocaust, including the long and universal history of like incidents which can be cited, the fact that the Hebrew texts themselves contain divine mandates for like action, and the fact that Germany has the most stringent laws against antisemitism and nzsm. Same argument, so run with it and let's see how far you get. Transantlantic slavery was a horror which was arrested, but has never been properly prosecuted and continues to exert its power over modern economics, politics, social and personal attitudes. Saying that it is not the only historical slavery is a completely pointless response.
