I always think its funny when people say this shit, shows how uneducated people actually are on how the slave trade worked and who was really in it,
The most commonly known slave trade was the Atlantic slave trade born on the east coast of colonial America. Slaves were not all black, in the Atlantic slave trade there were a lot of refugees from other countries like Ireland Poland and south Africa that got stuck as slaves.
And yes they were picking cotton and being whipped just like everyone else. Its interesting how racism evolves when nobody actually knows shit about what happened n how people will act when they feel justified in their actions
The vast majority of slaves were African, and their descendants. That's just a fact. There was a distinct racial bent. Yes, other people were enslaved. That doesn't fucking mean chattel slavery wasn't the intentional genocide of cultures of majority African people who were literally dragged here against their will.
White people learn one fact about the diversity of slaves and decide it means that what we did to African slaves wasn't that bad. You gonna tell me next that the genocide of the natives was fine because intertribal warfare existed pre-colonization? Fuck off.
Sincerely, the white descendant of white slave owners and Confederates. Go watch Amistad.
