@CArchivist Accusing your corespondent of "whataboutism" is a defence used by those who want to airbrush the rest of history out of existence to bolster their own poisoned narrative and set it in a blinding, though thoroughly unrealitic relief, in your case by ignoring ALL of the slavery by many many empires since the beginning of human "civilisation". Why do YOU feel the need to focus on "the Atlantic slave triangle" and not the countless millions of Africans, Arabs and Europeans enslaved by the Egyptian, Roman or Achaemenid Empires for example. Empires who without the ingenuity to kickstart the "industrial revolution" based their WHOLE economy on human slavery? You even choose to ignore the plight of countless MILLIONS of WHITE slave labourers in the industrial economies of the world through the 19th and 20th centuries. Why not apply the same amount of scrutiny to the genocide of the "First nation" Indians at the hands of the US government? Or the hundreds of millions who died at the hands of communist tyrannies throughout the 20th century? Do you place as much emphasis on the ABOLITION of the slave trade by the BRITISH empire? The empire who when it was at the very APEX of its might, standing Colossus like across the globe, with no other competing power able to control it's desires, in THAT moment it unilaterally and against the wishes of many of those competitors decided to outlaw human slavery, and then set its full naval might to police and enforce that decision. I suspect not. I smell an upper middle class, self hating lefty turd in the conversation.....

Just do what national governments do with their electorates. Tell them they're doing one things, while actually doing the complete opposite.
