In defence of White people

This happened so long ago, as a white male, I no longer give a ****.

I'd advise others to stop holding on to their ancestors suffering, as a 'badge of honour' or an excuse to claim hardship.

You do realise the amount of black people that bring up the slave trade as if I or anyone I know had something to do with it is way too many, maybe I just go on tumblr too much.

If White people are evil, racists when do many non-White people risk their lives to live in White countries? I think White people at pretty damn tolerant to the point they're actually suffering from it. Mass immigration has made them foreigners in their homeland and it's because most White people are kind hearted good people.

One of the lesser known bits of history is the Arab/Moor/Turk slave trade that ran for nearly 500 years in Europe. Estimates of 1.5m Europeans were enslaved by pirates and bandits in Eastern and Southern Europe. And of course Africans too. And of course Africans enslaved other Africans.

Very disingenuous for anyone to talk of slavery as some kind of European invention. Europeans were in fact the first to realise how wrong it was!

By indulging in it until the late 19th century??

Why is slavery purely depicted as a White Christian crime given the long history of slavery by others? Many Whites in history were slaves, Arabs had a huge slave trade. Turk's ottoman empire had loads of slaves. Jews by the way were a huge part of the West's slave trade but it goes ignored because it's considered anti-Semitic. The reality is a minuscule minority of the world White population owned slaves so most had nothing to do with it. So this idea that every White person on this planet was a slave owning racist is really incredibly racist itself. Heck, a lot of poor Whites hated slavery because you know what it meant? lower wages and someone to take their jobs. I think slavery largely benefited the rich, the people who owned the industries that profited from slavery. When we talk of racism what does racism mean? Racism is almost become a codeword for White because whenever Racism is mentioned it's always to do with something a White person said or may have done. When a White cop shoots a Black person it's racism. When a Hispanic cop shoots a Black person racism has nothing to do with it in the media narrative. If White people are evil, racists when do many non-White people risk their lives to live in White countries? I think White people at pretty damn tolerant to the point they're actually suffering from it. Mass immigration has made them foreigners in their homeland and it's because most White people are kind hearted good people.

Where would Europe be without slavery?
But whites have profited and benefited from slavery and even till this day it still has its effect and reminders.
You people will never understand the amount of damage that was inflicted by the greed of Europeans

I believe slavery would be ongoing and very common in the Islamic world and elsewhere had European enlightenment brought a change in thinking. Fair enough some European countries engaged in it and that was very wrong, but it is ludicrous to try and paint it as a European thing as many do.

That's right, evil greedy white Europeans, and of course if the boot was on the other foot Black Africans would never have indulged in slavery or Empire building would they? No?
Every country that has been in the position of being capable having an empire and exploiting other countries has done so. Black Africans would have exploited white Europeans in the same way given half the chance. For thousands of years it was the way humans treated one another. At least now in the west we don't and condemn it when we see it.
Christ on a rope, for an idea of the way Africans treat each other, let alone Europeans given half the chance check out the YT video of Bono Harem slaughtering men like pigs and throwing them off a bridge*for simply refusing to fight for them.
