re: Go Back Into Time & What would you STOP?

The world has had slavery for as long as we have been civilized. Explain how and when you would stop it. Yours is a very broad statement.

But if I had to guess, you aren't very smart, and by slavery, the only thing you can think of is black slavery in the Americas.

Okay, so how would you stop it?

Do you know who was responsible? You probably don't. Because you probably think it was white people.

But to stop the foundation of the black slave trade in the Americas, you would have to actually go to Africa and stop the opposing tribal leaders who had the idea of selling their enemies.

And what about the slave trade of Islam? Millions of Europeans up until the 1830s were being captured and enslaved by the Ottomans and protectorates of the Ottoman Empire, and before that, other Islamic states. Are you going to save them? Or no, because they are white and matter less because you've been raised with white guilt?

What about the Irish slave trade? Or no, because they weren't slaves, they were "indentured servants"? Even though the term indentured servitude is a somewhat modern revisionist term created to lessen the reality of white slaves in order to eliminate sympathy given to anyone else but blacks.
