Whites did not start slavery, but we also did not learn it from someone else. Slavery has been a large part of every civilization from the Incas to the Chinese to India to Africa. It has been on every continent and it still exists on every continent.
Marx has slavery as a necessary step in all human civilization. And there is no evidence that any current civilization did not go through that step in its past. And we find it today in all civilizations of size.
Black history in America tries to argue that slavery is the key to all US history. It ignores the world. US Africans are generally better off than most Africans around the world. But they are not at the top of any first world country, even though they have been outside of Africa living in first world countries for thousands of years. English, Germans and Jews seem to pop up to the top where ever they are. Not everyone. But some. Indians and Chinese are also popping up as leaders, the head of Microsoft, Foxconn or NVIDIA for example.
African studies or Black history are generally lies. Jaded history with a massive slathering of propaganda. Most people see it right away, and ignore it. But some are either to scared or too indoctrinated to call it out for what it is. Trash.

In a way, it was. 2/3 of all European immigrants prior to 1776 were “involuntary” indentured servants (i.e, people the Brits rounded up and pressed into service).
The raw numbers dwarf the 300,000 black slaves.
