The muslim Caliphates had slaves, the natives had slaves e.g. Aztecs, so did the Romans and many more. European empires were introduced to the slave trade by African kingdoms. And the irony of it all: Western Europeans were the first to stop slavery.

And more irony: The "evil white people" are the majority in the most pro-human rights countries on earth. Even though they are less than 16% of the worlds population.

The Muslim Caliphates had large areas of Europe, Africa and most of the middle east too. So did countless non-white empires throughout history. The point is not that imperialism is good, it’s that the whole world did it. And we are now the most equal and tolerant societies.

Don't tell them about the Native Americans!!!!!
-
You mean the part where they here minding their own business before white people came and literally executed a genocide against them and claimed the land was their’s and teaching students for hundreds of years by whitewashing what happened? Those Native Americans?
-
You mean the part where the Aztecs were massacring/enslaving other Natives to the point that, Native Americans allied with the brand new Europeans to overthrow the Empire? Yeah sounds pretty relative to me.
-
Are you referring to the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire? Where the Spanish came in and literally attempted to overthrow the Aztecs? Also, is your argument that Aztecs were enslaving Natives so it’s ok that Europeans came in and did it too (and objectively crueler)
-
That’s such a classic argument, the “they did it too!” argument, does not absolve them of what they did...

You could say Stefan Molyneux obsessively deals in sophomoric race baiting to deflect from his intense feelings of intellectual and personal inadequacy. But he will just tell you that that isn't an argument.

that's not an argument.
