I mean, you were the one who brought up the idea that anyone not from the US could not POSSIBLY be aware of all the implications and intricacies of slavery in the US and black history while wilfully ignoring a sizeable part of the issue.

I'm not thread!OP

If you want to argue that thread!OP is wrong in saying that non-Americans are unaware of anti-blackness as a political issue, you can say that.

Bringing up African participation in the slave trade in Africa is not relevant to that point though. Frankly I don't think it is "a sizeable part of the issue" when talking about the specifically American experience of slavery in America (which is what OP was talking about); the people who perpetrated slavery in the United States of America, who kept it in being, and who benefited from it were white. None of that is altered by talking about the roots of the slave trade in Africa. It really is nothing more than a very well-worn and tired distraction used by people who are trying to pretend that slavery in the US somehow didn't have a racial basis, or was no big deal, or shouldn't matter, or whatever else. It's very dumb.
