In the 1804 Haiti massacre, freed slaves went around killing pretty much everyone who was white. Not even the white who were friendly to black people were spared from their wrath. During the genocide, those who survived were 'granted' amnesty. Those who left hiding were killed. When all was said and done, the shitbag who lead everything has no issue working with countries that still allowed slavery.
It's been two centuries and not a fucking thing has changed.
There are parallels to Liberia. US slaves who were freed were offered free tickets back to Africa, to a country specifically created for them. Some of them took the offer, moved to Liberia, and set themselves up as the aristocracy, with native Africans as serfs - basically slaves.
The thing you have to understand is that the objection to slavery as a concept, meaning the idea that “no person should be a slave” is an abstract concept- and frankly, that’s the domain of white people.
What everyone else thinks is, *I* don’t want to be a slave, but it’s okay for me to keep slaves.
Once these people have power, they absolutely will oppress you.

White people are the only race who ever fought, killed, and died to end slavery.
