how does ANY of that (most of which I already KNOW) contradict the point?

whites OBVIOUSLY benefited from the enslavement of africans. we, as africans did not.

for whites, it definitely was the "RIGHT" thing be involved with. they wouldnt have been world powers without that institution, their industrial revolution would have not been feuled without the resources coming from the enslavement/colonization of africans, etc, etc.

no "justification" required. it's never been about justice.

it's about different worlds, self-interests, cultures colliding.

now git with your bleeding heart illogical nonsense.
