If you would actually do some research you would know that the slave trade was far more bigger and brutal when the Europeans came to settle on indigenous land. The native Americans did not have the same idea of slavery as the Europeans had. They were very different concepts. The reason why slavery is so centered on America is because they introduced a new type of Slavery and they made it one of the largest economic industries. American black owned slaves became one of the largest industries and America profited greatly off of that. The way black people were treated was very inhuman and disturbing. I also don’t understand why you saying white people are a target because they are not. I’ve never experienced anything of the sort or seen anything like that. Having a victim mentality only makes you more clueless to the situation around you.

Native Americans did take captives but mostly young children and women and killed the adults. But this was in the early days before white men spread. Indians warred with other tribes all the time.
Because to target any other would be going against the narrative put out by The Intersectional/Identitarian crowd are activly are breaking the populous into tribes, Black, Asian, White etc. So they can face one off against the other. Native Americans held slaves along the lines of war trophies, Blacks have also held slaves in America more so than whites,
I have to wonder how would people react if we could track back those involved in BLM to their African roots and prove that their tribe and family were involved in the slave trade on the African Continent long before any of the 'White Slave Traders' where even born let alone traded or influenced slavery, it is a case of two standards which BLM and other anti slavery groups choose to ignore as it doesn't fit their victim narrative.
People of all races owned slaves - whites, blacks, arabs, mongols, jews.
The reason white people are the target is because it's a way for minorities to gain power, through victimhood. In our culture today the way most people gain power is through playing victim olympics, whoever is the biggest victim wins.
That's why when you mention the above fact they'll do all they can to argue that white enslavement of black people was worse than the others, to hold onto that victimhood narrative.

lol because they 100% did NOT use their slave ownings to put their race at the top for the next 2 hundred years even after abolishment.
the historic slave owning white families that were rich in the 1800s... many of them are STILL well established.
native americans? Well... they're the only race doing worse than the blacks. they live in awful reservations, poor access to healthcare and education, high substance abuse rates... yea what exactly are you going to continue to take from them? We as a nation already took everything.Well muslim slavery is largely ignored to basically because only whites in history ever did bad things
Because the Native Americans didn't have an industry for it bringing over thousands upon thousands of Africans packed like sardines in boats and then, 400 years later, shooting them in the back for being guilty of Driving While Black.

Stop being a racist.
It's very unbecoming.All races at some point have had slaves.
What i struggle with is why the focus is on the crimes from 200 years ago when slavery still exists today. Low estimates suggest 20million modern day slaves (maybe as high as 50million). Wheres the public outcry? Sure its not legal as ut was before, but isn't that worse? As a society we know its wrong yet still let millions of people suffer this wayYou read one article and you're triggered?
Do some fucking research, lady. Americans made slavery one of the country's largest industries. Slavery was the economic engine of the United States. Then when slavery ended all efforts were made to marginalize black Americans so they couldn't vote, couldn't prosper.Because now the land belongs to us and the people constantly bringing up slavery don't actually care much about it because they never experienced it and are just looking for an excuse to commit acts of violence against us.
Ruling on others on the name of the business and then become the owner of those countries where still natives are facing problems. Many countries got freedom from those who was just looting them on the name of business.
That was a long time ago. White oppression of blacks continues to this day.
Its the success of white people that really gets their goat. When they look in the mirror and think of their failures in life, its easier to blame whitey then to take responsibility.
Were the native American's slaves' children also slaves?
The same reason Trump was crucified for in 2016 and Joe Biden is not being crucified for right now in 2020
I don’t think White people are targeted. It’s just racism is targeted. Targeting a race for being racists is just the epitome of irony.
Because it’s not about justice, it’s about control. When you understand that it will all make sense.
Bc white people like you don’t want to own up to 400 years of getting free labor.
natives had their problems too. many tribes, fought each other
Oh man again a white acting like a victim.
It’s the liberal agenda that’s why.
Literally every race has owned slaves
They didn't own slaves.
The target of what?
