Bicicleur: I think it is the PC White Liberals he is referring to, at least, that is the case here in the USA. Obviously in this country, the history of Slavery is still something that gets caught up in modern USA identity and grievance politics. The Transatlantic slave trade was not good and nobody should ever claim it was, but it is not like Slavery started with the European Transatlantic slave trade. King Musa of Mali in who lived in the late 13th to early 14th century was a colonizer and major Slave holder in West Africa enslaving other tribal/ethnic groups. This was common all over Africa and the Arab-Muslim slave trade dates to 800 years before the European Slave trade. And modern Media does not want to report on it, but slavery is still being practiced even today in certain societies in the world, many in Africa and Asia. The greatest colonizer and conqueror in the history of the world was an Asian, Ghengis Khan, not European. So it is easy to blame ones home countries problems on colonialism as it as Khan notes, allows you to shift blame and take no ownership in the failure of your countries economic, political and cultural development. The USA dropped 2 Atom bombs on Japan, within 15 years after WW2 ended, they were a major manufacturing and technological powerhouse that continues to this day being the 3rd largest only behind the USA and China.
