America is genocidal, sure, but so is every single other society in the history of civilization. America is exceptional because of the technology and the art it contributed to genocide, which is the goal of every civiliztion, remember. Pointing out the difference in scale of US atrocities just prevents us working together for greater justice.

Nuance is when you try to make it look like Portugal did more slavery than the US when it didn’t.
Even if we granted Portugal did more slavery, Portugal isn’t the world hegemon doing more than any other nation to maintain imperialism for the past 80ish years.
Sure, but also it just isn’t true
Looks like you might take that up with the authors of the page I linked to. It’s your inference, not mine. My position is there is nothing uniquely American about the behaviour.
You are such a fucking idiot, that’s not what the page says. The page documents how many slaves were trafficked in the transatlantic slave trade based on the flag of the ship carrying them (which incidentally means the 13 colonies are counted under Britain). The vast, vast majority of slaves in the US were not brought there from Africa but born on US soil, as I already said. You are demonstrating not just your idiocy but your sniveling insincerity when you say “I didn’t say anything like that” despite simultaneously arguing for that point, even after I explained that it was false and your source has no bearing on that fact.

Sadly — my point was exactly that we were not exceptional. Not alone in this at all. Sorry you are intent of this game of getting the last word, but please keep trying?

America’s record remains at the top of the chattel slavery bunch and your weird bullshit that you’re too cowardly to own won’t dupe anyone but moronic redditor chauvinists. Keep caping for the world capital of race science and forerunner of the Nazis.
