It seems like you're concerned that we're impartially holding British accountable but not others, while ignoring all the good things that the British did? I think a party can do good and bad things, and while there might not be anyone appreciating good things, it doesn't make the bad things they did any less bad.

There is a very popular conception of slavery that is extremely ignorant of history and present reality which essentially implies slavery is something that white people invented to oppress darker skinned people. This popular myth also fails to acknowledge that there are more people living in slavery now than ever before in history.

I'm simply trying to dispel this naive, dangerously ignorant, ironically racist notion of slavery, so that people can hopefully have a greater understanding of human nature as a whole, and focus on fighting for people who are living in slavery right now, rather than just focusing on the legacy of slavery of 1 or 2 predominantly white nations from hundreds of years ago.
