Who deserves credit for ending slavery? Or is it no one because it was an immoral practice to start with? Or are you saying that just because a subset of white people were involved, that credit would not extend to white people as a whole? I guess I don't really see the significance of making a point of this. If someone is hurting me repeatedly, and then they decide to stop, I think they'd deserve credit for realizing they should stop. Furthermore, I'd want them to have that credit to encourage sensible acts going forward.
