It’s just important to understand slavery in America if you wanna understand Americas history
You keep trying to use whataboutism to distract from the truth: america was essentially built on slavery. Brazil is the only other country that had so many slaves carrying the economy for so long. And even after slavery ended for blacks, most whites didn’t just accept that. Why would they? It took over 100 years for america to actually stop treating an entire race of people like semi slaves

Nobody is using whataboutism. I’m pointing out that america still uses slavery and everyone in America is an active part of it.
