People on the far left don't object to slavery per se.
Instead, they only object when the slave owners are white.
True
Exactly, they don’t care about the fact that there were black slave owners who owned black and white slaves and that Native Americans owned slaves, black, white and each other.
That just shows their true colors.
The Soviet Union was built on slave labor.
Most of the millions who died in Gulag were worked to death, producing goods for the Soviet State.
And the left dares to call capitalism greedy and evil?! Give me a break!
As long as it’s the family of a libtard candidate it’s all good. No problem.
Or if the slave holders are their own government.
I got a feeling there are a lot of white knuckles hangin’ from the Harris Family Tree.
When the police use a gun to shoot a suspect, they blame the police
When two thugs shoot each other, they blame the guns
In 1947 Secretary of State, James Byrnes wrote, “Forced labor camps are a symbol of Hitler’s regime that we should eliminate as rapidly as possible.” The U.S. was using slave labor well into 1947.
I’ve had arguments with some black folks who believed that only whites were racist and also owned slaves. Started with the “white cracker slave owner” comment by one. I informed them that it was black men who first brought slaves to America, and slavery existed in Africa for a long time before. Never got any feedback.
I think those who captured the slaves were black traders. They then sold them to white slave traders to be delivered to the Americas. I could be wrong though.
“The trans-Atlantic slave trade occurred within a broader system of trade between West and Central Africa, Western Europe, and North and South America. In African ports, European traders exchanged metals, cloth, beads, guns, and ammunition for captive Africans brought to the coast from the African interior, primarily by African traders.”

Over the years, global focus and discourse on slavery has concentrated on the Trans-Atlantic trade that featured American and European merchants. One other trade has however remained largely ignored, and at times has even been treated as a taboo subject, despite being a key component of African history owing to the devastating impact it has had on the continent, its generations and its people's way of life.
The Arab Muslim slave trade, also known as the trans-Saharan trade or Eastern slave trade, is noted as the longest slave trade, having occurred for more than 1,300 years while taking millions of Africans away from their continent to work in foreign lands in the most inhumane conditions.

Africa is a vast and diverse region that accounts for 17 per cent of the world's population. Modern slavery in Africa is driven by ongoing political instability, poverty, displacement of people due to conflict and climate change, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Modern slavery manifests differently throughout Africa; it occurs in every country in the region, while those with higher prevalence typically experience compounding vulnerability factors. More than 3.1 million Africans are in forced marriage, the drivers of which depend on factors in their location, such as the presence of conflict, poverty, or persistence of certain traditional practices. There are more than 3.8 million people in forced labour across Africa. At particularly high risk are adults and children who travel from rural and remote areas to urban centres seeking work. Higher rates of descent-based slavery and forced begging continue to occur in parts of the Sahel.
