"Are you implying that slavery is to blame on black people?"

No. Not at all.

The whole notion of some people blaming only white people for slavery in general is retarded on so many levels.

Because using that logic, those who do blame white people in general should also hold white people accountable in general for ending slavery.

But they won't and that's hypocrisy.

Hence, the irony of the situation.

In this specific case, I guess we could assume the focus lies heavily on the US slavery chapter, given the post, ethnicities involved and popularity of the subject in the West.

Regarding the US chapter, it is black people and white people who are mostly responsible for the US slavery.

Blacks raiding and capturing other blacks and selling them to merchants, who in turn bring and sell them to white slave masters far away in the US. War, slave trade and slavery was already present in Africa long before Europeans arrived. Because slavery is a sin all humans are able to commit.

Since a lot of people do not actually care or know about history in general, we do not hear a lot of people talk about how it is, for example, "brown people" who are responsible for slavery.

Given the logic of those who would blame white people, and even blame only white people.

Would it not make more sense to blame "brown people" since the Arab chapter was just as recent but way more cruel, brutal and numerous.

The difference between the US chapter and Arab chapter is that in Arabic areas, there are hardly traces left because the slaves got their balls cut off and were never freed. The frequency and brutality was more extreme.

And, from a numerical perspective, wouldn't it make more sense to idiots to blame only "Chinese people" for slavery then?

Or, from a time perspective, how about the places in the world that still have and use slaves today?

At this point, the hyperfocus on the US chapter has degenerated into a political tool.

So, in short, the comment with Palpatine is to ridicule people who generalize an entire group, in order to blame just that single group.

These people exist, who think only white people are responsible for slavery in general. While using the same flawed logic, not holding white people accountable for ending it.

Which in turn, is ironic.

If to them, it was white people who were responsible, why not take into account the fact it was white people that died and bled for slaves in order to free them? Pretty sure there was a whole war fought over it.
