Apparently “nationalism is bad” is an uncivil take. Unless there’s another reason someone would ban this comment… 🤔

    It is always funny when other places shit on America for our history of slavery. Like Koreans for example. They had the longest unbroken chain of slavery of any modern society and yet you’ll still have some of them trying to say Americans are the worst because of our history of slavery.

    It’s like… All places in the world had (or still have) slavery going on. Why does the Internet seem to think we were the worst offenders???

      tbf, there are only a handful of systems of slavery that were worse than Southern US and Caribbean slavery as-introduced-by-the-triangle-trade. We were running one of the worst variations of what was already one of mankind’s worst systems ever devised.

      But yeah, people often aren’t looking at that so much as “I know about American slavery and not slavery in my own country”
