Whites Ended Slavery so why don't we ever hear about
that?
Brazil had 4 times the slaves the Americas did. It's worth noting
these facts if we are going to have an honest, genuine conversation
about slavery and race.
The vast, vast ,vast majority of Americans never owned a slave.
Why is it that we are never told about white people ending slavery?
We're only told about white people practicing slavery.
Let's be clear. Slavery has existed for thousands of years and
has been practiced by all races and cultures throughout the world.
Slavery isn't unique to whites. In fact, Arabs were big into slavery,
so were Blacks. Slavery is less about race and more about class.
People who owned slaves were a higher caste than those who were
slaves.
The word slave comes from the word "Slav" because Slavs,
Eastern Europeans, were forced into slavery during the Middle Ages
by Muslims. This is where the word slavery comes from. So the very
word slavery has nothing to do with black people being enslaved,
the word has to do with white people being enslaved.
Muslims dominated the slave trade until the 1500s when Europeans
started to get involved. Black African rulers would capture slaves
and then sell them to Arabs and Europeans.
Slavery was ended by white people, in particular England. But for
some reason we never hear about this. We only hear about how evil
whites were for 6% of Southern whites owning black slaves (1.4%
if including the North) at the height of slavery. One study concluded
that 28% of free blacks owned slaves, which is a much higher percentage
than free whites who owned slaves. For some reason we never hear
about that study.
While we're at it, an interesting thing to point out is that the
Republican Party was founded primarily to oppose slavery, and Republicans
eventually abolished slavery. The Democratic Party fought them and
tried to maintain and expand slavery. The 13th Amendment, abolishing
slavery, passed in 1865 with 100% Republican support but only 23%
Democrat support in congress.
Here's a few more interesting tidbits you may have missed in history
class:
1.Not one Democrat either in the House or the Senate voted for
the 14th amendment declaring that former slaves were full citizens
of the state in which they lived and were therefore entitled to
all the rights and privileges of any other citizen in that state.
2.Not a single one of the 56 Democrats in Congress voted for the
15th amendment that granted explicit voting rights to black Americans.
3.In 1866 Democrats formed the Ku Klux Klan to pave the way for
Democrats to regain control in the elections.
The parties switching in the south is a myth designed to re-write
history as modern liberals are known to do to fit their narratives
and remove guilt. https://areomagazine.com/2019/04/03/the-party-switch-myth/

And if you want to be really factual, the most prominent places
where slavery still exists are Africa and South Asia. So even though
whites ended slavery, some countries still can't quite get enough
of it.
Why don't people care about slavery and do something about it in
these countries? Why are these people still practicing such barbaric
behavior and why are people okay with that? Why do we hear about
slavery all the time in the West, when slavery doesn't happen in
the West and was ended in the West?
Americans went to war with other Americans to right it's original
sin. What other country can you say that about?
Shake off that faux white guilt and hold your heads high people!!
