People like this have really been brainwashed into thinking that Whites were never enslaved lol.
Hey Alexa, how many Europeans were enslaved during the Barbary Slave Trade?
How many Slavs were captured along the Volga and sold in Arab countries?
How many Germans were made slaves by the Romans?
How many Greeks were made slaves by the Turks?
Practically every culture has been enslaved and practiced slavery
Where does the word slave come from? Hmmm….
This is such a disgusting mindset to have.
Some people are so America-centric they think the NAST (and only the part happening in North America) was the only kind of slavery that ever existed.
On that note, the Irish were never victims of chattel slavery, and that may be what most people mean when they say “The Irish were never slaves,” but equating one specific kind of slavery with slavery in the general sense is pretty short-sighted on its own.

Even in that type of slavery, most of them were secondhand from other black people.
So Wokesters go “oh, no, African slavery was a different, more respectful type of slavery.”
No, that isn’t why people keep trying to make out that the slavery in the colonies/United States is a whole different kind of slavery to any other around the world. By keeping it exclusive, they are then better able to claim victimhood from it instead of recognising they were one of many cogs and not special at all. The way you can tell is that they still talk about reparations when most of the slave trades listed above and more never got any reparations or even apologies by their slavers like black people have gotten multiple times in the US. They also purposely exclud the Natives of North America, refusing to acknowledge that they were sold exactly like new African slaves, and instead focus on how the Irish weren’t slaves because “their slavery wasn’t the same”.
And that’s why I can never take them seriously on this subject. They’re trying to bank on suffering and atrocities they themselves never faced, from people who never oppressed anyone. It makes me ashamed and want to avoid them like the plague whenever they start bringing it up. Meanwhile, ignoring every other races suffering because they aren’t black and can’t capitalize off of it.
What further irritates me, is when they act like racism, slavery and their horrors aren’t being talked about. Like…did they pay attention in elementary and middle school? Do they not know about Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglas’ stories? Do they know about the Underground Railroad tales? Were they not allowed field trips to plantations to study them in person? Didn’t they have worksheets on Black History month? ‘Cause I sure did.
That Martin Luther King Jr animated movie still leaves an impact on me today.
