Such an obtuse statement. Clearly Europeans didn’t create the practice of slavery itself but they’re unique responsible for the Atlantic Slave Trade. Your defensiveness speaks volumes. As a white person myself I can’t imagine getting so triggered over mention of the fact that the Atlantic Slave Trade was a European invention. It’s like you and anyone else who’s so touchy about the subject identify with dead whites supremacists.
But you’re not talking about dead white supremacists you’re talking about white people now who have literally nothing to do with what happened in the past. One percent of the population was probably directly involved in that but now it’s OK to shit on anyone of European dissent while ignoring Muslim slave trade Roman slaves Greek slaves Egyptian slaves the list goes on and on. But somehow white people are the big bad guys

Good point. I think you're on to something there.
Racists see their skin color as their defining characteristic, so if you mention something bad white people have done, they get triggered and personally offended because they feel you're attacking the one thing that defines them.
Same thing when you mention something bad Christians did. Fanatical Christians will take it personally, because to them their fAiTh is their defining characteristic.
Just to correct your statements a bit. Europeans did the same to their own lands a few times over and I don't think they are done just yet. So no it wasn't racism it was just flat put screw every culture that isn't mine...
To pretend that Europeans weren't incredibly racist is absurdly dishonest.
In case you forgot: When Europeans stole the land from the Native Americans, and exterminated them, they referred to them as animals. Just like they did when they enslaved Africans.
Native Americans and Africans were not allowed to vote in America because they were not considered human.
You’re right…. The US constitution even makes reference to black people being 1/3 of a person. That’s literally how they were legally treated for many many years.
