How about Barbary kidnaping white people at sea and selling them as slaves to north Africa at the same time as the trans-atlantic slave trade was bringing black people in the US.
That would be a good discussion to have when talking about slavery.
I know. But they just hand wave that away. Or all the slavery in Europe in centuries past (they are called Slavs for a reason), Arab slave trade, modern slavery in Africa/Middle East
The Cree still call the Dene "Slaveys". In fact, that's what their language is called, Slavey. It's where the two Slave Lakes got their names from.
It was really fun watching my Cree buddy up north and his .. pack ... make fun of one of their care bear cousins when he started to date a Slavey girl. Neither one of them was very much a looker, but they got known as "Bin Laden and his Camel".
Same logic as “I’m being oppressed and enslaved but it’s a black/Arab person doing it so that’s ok”
