Slavery of the human race, whether 1, 10, or 1000 people, transcends race, culture, and time. It is an issue still going on today due to trafficking, and to place it squarely as an issue with white v. black (which implies only white people have ever engaged in the practice) is ignorant. I welcome all inclusive efforts, but it seems these types of people (activists et al) have forgotten that those terms are not just confined to colonial America.
(Please correct me if there is an error with this process.)
Edit: I would like to point out that this is not a criticism of the author or OP. It's an observation. (Also, edited wording.)

- X6S1x6Okd1st 8y agoYeah it feels pretty weird when people act like slavery was a unique thing that happened in the southern US. I had a french person talking about how they were oblivious to that dynamic because they were raised in france where it isn't a problem. That takes a pretty bad ignorance of colonial french history to say with a straight face.
