Attempted deflection fail. I wasn’t addressing the above, and you know it.

I was correcting your false assertion that “unlike the USA, European countries did not import slaves to do their work like draft animals”. European plantation owners did import slaves to the Caribbean colonies to work their crops.

Millions of slaves were trafficked through Europe, and Europe profited by the forced labor of slaves sent to Caribbean colonies.

You are confusing colonialism in distant foreign parts with importing slaves to Europe.

I also 100% forgot about south africa.
looks like your entire holier than thou argument has just fallen down like a ton of bricks.

maybe next time you shouldn't be the one to gloat and condemn others while ignoring your own
failed history.

PS slavery still exists and is still going on in Europe. In fact it is a multi-billion dollar a year industry.
Even though multiple countries are trying to fight against it.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

You cannot distance your country from it's slave trading/owning history by falsely denying it’s ownership/control of territories in the Caribbean.

You might be surprised to learn the number of products you own that were made, at least in part, by slaves.
