"But there was slavery in ____," "White people didn’t create slavery" "Africans sold their own people"

1) What does slavery in another country/continent have to do with white people enslaving others because of their race?

2) Nobody said white people created slavery, but they sure as hell brought the slavery of African people to the Americas and created this amazing racial dynamic we have today.

3) Africa is not a country, stop saying “Africans enslaved their own people.” North America consists of the U.S. and Canada. Canadians are not my people. Nor would I say all of America is my people. That being said, different countries have different relationships with each other just like any continent. So no, Africans did not enslave their own people. ‘x’ ethnic group enslaved ‘y’ ethnic group because of war, ‘x’ crime or debt.  Stop acting like Africa is a country and everyone is the same ethnicity.

4) Oh, and a lot of white people (probably mostly non-Irish) like to bring up Irish Slavery like they cracked some new Da Vinci Code or some shit. Why are Black people talking about their enslavement from White people being interrupted by a White person talking about their enslavement from other White people? Like what the hell does that have to do with us?

It’s easy for Irish people to say “we were slaves too”, in attempts to tell Black people to get over slavery. When Irish people aren’t being denied jobs today because they are Irish. When Irish people aren’t being racially profiled. When irish people aren’t being told their skin is dirty. When Irish people don’t go overseas and have people try to rub their skin color off. When Irish people can go through daily life undetected of being Irish (unless you have red hair because then everyone assumes you are either Scottish or Irish). White Irish people are classified as White people and get benefits from such.
