The ongoing obsession with American slavery, to the exclusion of all other slavery throughout human history, is a perfect example of the age-old legal adage "it doesn't matter who you can blame, it only matters who can pay".
If you point out that Muslims took way more slaves, for a much longer period of time, Muslims do not fall to their knees and beg forgiveness. If you point out that south and Central America took twenty times as many slaves as America, no one descries all of these nations and their peoples as irredeemable monsters.
The only people who respond to discussions of historical slavery with modern guilt are whites. No one else is throwing trillions of dollars at the "legacy of slavery". No one else is whipping themselves for things their ancestors did hundreds of years ago. There's no reason to press the issue with anyone except white people because only white people will give you a bunch of shit to alleviate their "guilt".
It's the exact same situation with "racism". Every race is racist, but only white people care enough to give you all their shit as penance.
"it doesn't matter who you can blame, it only matters who can pay"
damn - that's a beautiful quote.
That perfectly explains why feminists complain about 'white men spreading their legs on the train' - but completely ignore 'iranian women getting stoned to death for allegations of infidelity'

It isn't even their ancestors, no one of any prominence seems to be descended from slave owners with the exception of Kamala Harris.
