  Literally every culture on earth has practiced slavery at one time or another. Europeans were actually the first to abolish it.

    Let’s stop making “racial” (there is only one human race) stereotypes then.

      So we get rid of the people on the right as well? Because those are stereotypes as well.

    I hope you’re willing to learn because that is historically incorrect. The first nation to abolish slavery was Hati around a decade before the first European country (Denmark). That is if we are talking abolish and keep abolished in all territories controlled. Persia is possibly the first country recorded to have used slaves but they would have periods of “abolishment” which were probably good for causing slave revolts in new areas they were thinking of conquering. Arguably the first country to have and to abolish slavery.

      Ah yes, if we pick and choose our definitions, we can get pretty much any outcome we want, can’t we.

      Haiti didn’t abolish slavery as much as revolt against it (by killing all the slave owners), and they didn’t even manage to keep it abolished for very long, as it’s currently one of the worst countries on earth with regards to child slavery.

      Is that really the hero you want to choose?

        I didn’t say they were hero’s but by your definition here no one had ever abolished slavery.

      No, I’m just pointing out that “they practiced slavery” isn’t an argument you can just throw at any race or nationality in particular without inflicting massive self-damage.

        Literally everyone is guilty of it.

        haha no. such a huge claim requires substantial evidence - and you left yourself an easy out. Many cultures practiced slavery, true. Most cultures? Maybe an argument could be made. All?

        ALL?

        That requires substantial evidence there’s absolutely nothing supporting it.

        Now I get it, the easiest way to debase your enemy’s righteousness is to drag them down to your level. But you don’t get this one shitbag. Slavery isn’t universal. You just want it to be so it makes you feel better about your premise.
