On Why I Don't Feel Guilty Over Slavery

The harsh fact that: a) Slavery was a universal institution as late as the mid-19th Century and the slaves in North America were treated better than anywhere else on the planet (with African, Muslim, and Native American slavery being the worst). b) Over a million Europeans were enslaved by Muslims from the Barbary states and yet this is completely glossed over. c) The slaves in the American South were frequently better off than the free blacks in the North and even the dirt-poor whites in the South. d) Blacks were sold into slavery by their fellow blacks and so if there is guilt to be had it needs be shared. e) There were tens of thousands of black people who also owned slaves in North America (over the years) and, so, again, the guilt needs to be shared. f) There isn't a single place on the globe where black people are better off with white people not around and so maybe getting on those boats wasn't the worst thing. g) Whatever wealth that was accrued due to slavery was wiped out numerous times over by the Civil War. h) Hundreds of thousands of poor Scotch, Irish, and English were also shipped over to not just North America but the Caribbean as well. i) Far more black Africans were enslaved by Arabs than by white Europeans and as far as I know no calls for reparations have ever been made. j) Slavery continues to this day in Africa and yet the slantheaded and feral left continues to focus instead on the relatively benign servitude that happened in America centuries ago. k) All of the blacks that came to North America ALREADY WERE SLAVES (African slaves) and so if the they didn't come here, they simply would have gone elsewhere (in Africa, to South America, the Middle East, etc.)......and fared very poorly, I promise you. And l) the American taxpayer has already dished out TRILLIONS of dollars over the past half century to help black people (and, no, this doesn't even include the money that whites have lost due to affirmative action) and the sane reaction at some point would certainly have to be, "OK, enough"...……….There are probably more reasons (a weariness of identity politics, for example) but what do you say that we start with these?...…………………………………………………………………..Sources - "To Hell or Barbados" by Sean O'Callighan, "White Cargo" by Don Jordan and Michael Walsh,  "Slavery, Capitalism, and Politics In the Antebellum Republic" by John Ashworth, "White Servitude In the Colony of Virginia" by James Curtis Ballagh, "The African Slave Trade" by Basil Davidson, "Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters" by Robert C.
