Simple. You explain to her that whites were slaves a lot longer than they were slave owners and less than 3 percent of them even owned slaves. You can even use a website she probably trusts now that Disney and Soros pump money into it. A VICE article from before that. https://www.vice.com/en_au/article/ppzevg/hey-v12n5

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_slavery Research the Barbary and Crimean slave trades like this Academic paper.

"According to the most recent study by DarjuszKołodziejczyk, based on the author’s comprehensive examination of variedsource material, a number of captives transported by the Crimean Tatarsfrom Poland-Lithuania and Russia (not including the Caucasus) approached10,000 per annum, that is two million for the period between 1500 and 1700.Thus, the Black Sea slave trade was fully comparable in size with the Atlanticslave trade of the same period (ca. two million between 1451 and 1600), anddeclined only in the eighteenth century."

You can even find the founding fathers in the US asking the white slave traders to stop raiding towns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_slave_trade

"After a revolt in the mid-17th century reduced the ruling Ottoman Pashas to little more than figureheads in the region, the towns of Tripoli, Algiers, Tunis, and others became independent in all but name. Without a large central authority and its laws, the pirates themselves started to gain much influence.

In 1785 when Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman, they asked him what right he had to take slaves in this way. He replied that the "right" was "founded on the Laws of the Prophet, that it was written in their Koran that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise".

"Pirate raids for the acquisition of slaves occurred in towns and villages on the African Atlantic seaboard, as well as in Europe. Reports of Barbary raids and kidnappings of those in Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, England, Netherlands, Ireland, Scotland, and as far north as Iceland exist from between the 16th to the 19th centuries. It is estimated that between 1 million and 1.25 million Europeans were captured by pirates and sold as slaves in Tunis, Algiers and Tripoli during this time period. The slave trade in Europeans in other parts of the Mediterranean is not included in this estimation."

As far as the Atlantic slave trade? That VICE article pretty much says it all. Funny how we never hear about Aaron Lopez and you never hear about a certain demographic being involved in every level of the slave trade and who dominated the Dutch trading companies. The only time you can see anything about that is when they are critiquing themselves in their own publications outside the West. https://www.timesofisrael.com/how-culpable-were-dutch-jews-in-the-slave-trade/#gs.geywtj

"Jews were so influential in those colonies that slave auctions scheduled to take place on Jewish holidays often were postponed, according to Marc Lee Raphael, a professor of Judaic studies at the College of William & Mary."

Whites weren't the primary slave traders throughout history. They worked the hardest to END chattel slavery. The slave trade was run mostly by people of color (Muslims) and Jews were often involved. Muslims fought with Jews against Christians in places like Spain. https://www.jstor.org/stable/4466922 Would never learn that from the Disney owned. Bob Iger History channel though. Same reason Trotsky, Lenin and Marx don't exist on that channel.

TLDR. All races have been pieces of shit. Whites somehow are taking the blame for other's vast crimes, even though they did the most to end practices like slavery.
