I see you repeating again and again and not providing any background information and facts. What's exactly your problem with the article. Have you found any errors or biased stuff? If so, please highlight it for us.

I get the strange feeling that you have a problem with the article because it shows that not only white people are able to enslave other human beings. Maybe you should have a look at the history of slavery in islam.

I think you misunderstand what I am saying. If you read my comment, you'll see I'm not talking about the content of the article or saying slavery does not exist.

It's difficult to tell people "think before you decide" when the people instantly assume that I am saying something that is attacking them and immediately start aggressively defending their opinion.

I think the problem is the rabbit hole of self-delusion.

1. This is bad, and we all agree. 2. Something should be done about it. 3. Old white people (Republicrats and Democricuns) should do something about it. 4. That "something" can and may be violence, intimidation, economic sabotage, ... 5. Oversight is provided by the same people planning and execute such measures in 4. 6. Somehow, all "we" are doing is for the greater good, all "they" are doing is wrong and backwards. 7. If you disagree with 6, you hate apple pie and mom. 8. WTF ??
