My point is the hypocrisy of ragging on the US slave trade while they were the ones that set it up and bought products made by it. I’m not washing the USA’s sin here but it’s only fair to remember Europe’s place in it
I never said the USA is above reproach I’m calling out Europeans for acting as if they had no part in it, Cunk herself is from a nation that bought slave cotton DURING THE CIVIL WAR and put children in coal mines during the same period but saw no issue with little Timmy O’Toole dying of black lung at age 14 because yall didn’t see the Irish as human beings

Chattel Slavery. And no one here is insinuating any slavery is good. But you’re apparently saying the US is above reproach “because others did it”.
All slavery, including the ~400 years of chattel slavery, as well as that permitted by the clause in the 13th amendment, is bad.
