I agree with this logic it's why I think black pride organizations shouldn't exist.

There has probably been no race of people who didn't enslave other people, so there has been really no specific race of people who are to blame for slavery and saying white people are to blame is racism in itself.Like I said, its because racism added fuel to fire that all black people were less human than the rest of the world and had to be slaved their entire life from birth till they die by any white person any where. So there is something to be angry about and who to be angry with. Because these white people everywhere took pride in racism, participate in it everywhere they find a black person, not just in the us but all over the Americas, Europe and Africa. No one ever agreed with slavery although it had always happened before with conflicting groups but, racism made it that any black person was automatically a slave to a white person only because they black.
The part I disagree with is the notion of not giving a shit about slavery in general, because I think people should give a shit about it but not blame certain races for it and instead concentrate on preventing it.
I don't understand your point, around the time that slavery was most common the people with the most power would obviously take the most slaves. Slavery didn't just happen because white people were racist, it happened because people fuck each other over and use each other a lot, especially in a time period where equality and human rights weren't as widespread. White people had the better technology at the time.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
