And you just can't stop being wrong can you? First, I'm not American. Maybe it's your myopic world view that's responsible for that assumption.

Secondly, I didn't say you have just woken up to anything. I don't know you. I'm simply pointing out how stupid it is to imply that it's necessary to talk about all slavery every time you want to talk about a particular example of slavery. I'm pointing out how your need to point out that white people were enslaved too when it's totally irrelevant is born of a defensiveness that makes no sense. You aren't complicit in The Atlantic slave trade because you're white. Nothing I wrote suggests you are. There's no need to get so defensive.

And thirdly, you sound like a child swearing at a complete stranger on the internet. I talked about The Atlantic slave trade because it was relevant to my point. Just as somebody might talk about the Holocaust without referencing every other example of genocide or ethnic cleansing in history. Get a grip. If you're trying to learn from others, try learning how to think without getting emotional.
