With people like this I simply ask if they were a slave. I worked with a guy once who sounded like this and would just ignore his rantings. I then asked him one day what his secret was. He was confused and I said well for someone who is over 150 years old you look amazing
Everytime I have pointed out that there were black people who owned slaves or that African kingdoms enslaved people as well and are the beginning of the chain they just say I am deflecting. I then try to say that I'm not denying slavery happened or that it was a brutal practice but I think it is a bad thing to act like the UK and America are the only countries to ever own slaves and ignore the work they did to free slaves (UK especially). Also interesting how they don't seem to care about modern day slaves all over the world because harping on slavery that ended a long time ago pays very well.
The one that always annoys me is that the "Cotton Skyscrapers" (the semi-official name for the whole "America built on slavery" thing) idea has been thoroughly disproven by actual data and historical fact. Just like in every other instance, slavery is/was a drag on the economy, and the US was an economic backwater while it was practiced. It wasnt until it had been abolished and the effects of the Civil War overcome that the US became the industrial juggernaut it was/is.
Like always, it is that they hate America and think they found a wedge issue. When instead, from personal experience, it is only serving to undo any good will many normies had toward Black people and unite Hispanics, Asians, and Whites in an idea of "Fuck the Blacks."
And I hate it, but at this point it is a lot of Black people themselves who are perpetuating it, so what do they expect me to do?
I had an argument with my dad about how slavery has been promoted as more brutal than it was. He started going on about how it would make slavery seem okay otherwise and hos it sounded like i was defending it. I shut him up by asking if he'd be fine as a slave if he were treated nice because I see slavery itself as a problem rather than the conditions or who did it or it was done to.
“New England ship owners” funny how they can’t say Jewish

When you gonna tell him about the fact that the first slave owner in America was a black man?

They're not even New England or Jewish. They are Portuguese.
