African-American: Let’s talk about the slavery that was perpetrated by Americans right here on American soil. Then let’s have a discussion about how slavery (and the one hundred years of Jim Crow that came after it) still negatively impacts the lives of African-Americans alive today.

Fragile white guy: The Egyptians enslaved the ancient Hebrews. Rome was built with slave labor. Slavery was widely practiced all over the world. And didn’t Africans sell other Africans to white people during the Transatlantic Slave trade?

If you want to make intellectually dishonest arguments that’s your business. But if you aren’t going to respond to what I actually wrote, I am under no obligation to keep engaging you.
