I mean, I get that europe might be like "dunno if that's the _worst_ we've done, I mean, have you read history books?".

I remember when I was young maybe 8 or 9. A movie came on about slaves. I was watching it. My aunt and uncle came down the slaves where being thrown off the ship to die. My aunt goes should she be watching this? My uncle goes people lived it. This is what we did and if the younger generation doesn't know we are doomed to repeat it. They let me keep watching it.

The slaves that were shipped to the USA were being kept as slaves in west Africa already. Traded by people from their own race, the white race exploited this to no ends. People are vile and greed means exploitation because it’s all about the money.

She makes a great argument and I fully agree countries should apologise but to say it’s the greatest crime ever gives Genghis Khan a free pass, gives the British a free pass for killing millions in Ireland and India thru famine, gives the Russians a free pass and wheat the Chinese are doing today in Xinjiang.

Slavery was abhorrent but humans are capable of worse eg ww2 and the Jews

The netherlands apology, im saying this as a dutch guy whos dads side is decendant of african slaves, was performative at best. My granmother, whos grandmother was still a slave, said she was dissapointed by their lack of acknowledgement. She has recieved some financial reparations.
