Whilst it is important to learn from the mistakes of the past, weaponising the guilt and trying to use it to apply a faux-moral code in a political sense is equally as dangerous as those mistakes.

Slavery is still going on today in several parts of the world but you never see it highlighted. We’re far too busy manufacturing guilt amongst people who’ve never been involved in it.

A lot of the slavery occurs on the Arabian peninsula.  They still enslave East Africans there.

 

I'm not sure how the West focusing on something the British abolished nearly 200 years ago (the Atlantic slave trade) will assist those who are currently enslaved...
