Slavery in the US enriched the higher tier classes, which doesn't include 99.99% of anyone in the US today outside of the highest tier classes who were never dependent on slaves for their wealth at all. Almost everyone in the US has no lineage to owning slaves. More white people in the US have a lineage to being slaves. You probably have a better chance of lineage to slave ownership. Meanwhile, slavery in the US made the rest of society poorer. People were competing against slave labor. It depresses wages. This is the same story today if transnationals convinced you that getting asian kids to make your dumb superfluous overpriced sneakers is benefiting you. Actually, it only enriches a select few and hurts your nation. Beyond these facts, slaves were a liability.

Blacks and asians in parts of the world are still enslaving people.

Whites. Poor white people are still higher caste than literal slaves. Slavery enriched Whites.

    It's not anti-white hate. It's the simple reality that White people bring poverty and suffering to indigenous groups of people following enslavement and genocide.
