And because Christians did it, taking advantage of a situation created
by Muslims in the lands they conquered, everyone conveniently ignores
the Islamic role in the Slave Trade because Christians are not likely to murder the people complaining about them like Muslims would.
Once again, Poles had nothing to do with it ...
I ignored it because this one time whites did something to blacks is overshadowed by the fact that blacks do this to white communities and
even their own communities _daily_.

But the followers of your religion claim to be morally superior to the
other lot, don’t they? Yet here you are admitting that they are all just
as bad, all quite happy to get their hands dirty in the moral mire that
was the slave trade.

But you claim to be covered by the same “Christian” brand. I don’t see you
disavowing “Christianity” and setting up another brand that explicitly does not condone such activities in its core beliefs.

Interesting how you see yourself as part of “whites” when it suits you, but then separate yourself out as “Poles” when you feel the need to distance yourself from some of the actions perpetrated by “whites”.
Whites look down on other whites too, don’t they? Seems like the Anglos
see themselves as on top, and other whites as somehow less “white”, and deserving of special derogatory terms to separate them out.

People have been enslaving one another for millennia. Christianity did
not create the problem. If anything, Christians were rallying against
the practice from the beginning and there are lots of excerpts in the
New Testament saying as much. If people calling themselves Christians participated in the trade, that does not mean that the religion endorses
it. Meanwhile, Islam _fully_ endorses slavery and the practice continues
in areas they control to this day.

There is nothing to disavow. A religion cannot be held responsible for
what people claiming to be its adherents do. The New Testament is clear
in the idea that Christians should be rallying _against_ slavery.
Finally, your opinion of Christianity is of no interest to me.

Christianity was the religion of the slaves.
It promised they would be kings in the afterlife, so kept them happy
slaves.

Which slaves are you referring to during Jesus's time and the successive centuries?
