[Alas Babylon!]

Oh for goodness sakes!

The USA didn’t even have the majority of African slaves.

The Carribean, Brazil, Spanish America had more.

And the funny thing is, descendants of those slaves are a lot less whiney and work far harder than American blacks.

From Newsweek: https://www.newsweek.com/slavery-america-popular-misconceptions-627229#:~:text=Myth%20One%3A%20The%20majority%20of%20African%20captives%20came,Africans%20went%20to%20Brazil%2C%20followed%20by%20the%20Caribbean.

Myth One: The majority of African captives came to what became the United States.

Truth: Only a little more than 300,000 captives, or 4-6 percent, came to the United States. The majority of enslaved Africans went to Brazil, followed by the Caribbean.

You and I are in 100% agreement on the attitude, but I think the details are even more profound. IIRC, it's:

black slaves taken to colonial American states: 300K to 400K
white slaves from Europe taken to African states: 1.0 to 1.2 million (all of them kidnapped from Africans, not fellow Europeans)
black slaves taken to Latin America: 5.0 to 5.5 million
Jews killed in the Holocaust: 6 million
black slaves sold to Asia: 10 - 12 million.
babies aborted in the U.S. in the past half century: 67 million

Yet we're supposed to believe the black slaves in English speaking America was some kind of unprecedented atrocity that hasn't ever been eclipsed.
