You start doing the research to find out who was a slave owner in the past.

Why is the US the only place where this is a continuing issue in 2020?
Because introspection is hard. And often uncomfortable. It's much easier to blame others and refuse to change.

Not to mention the failure, and perfect learning opportunity of the reservation. Poverty, crime, low education, alcoholism, and drug use are very high on Indian reservations. Why are these areas (as well as inner cities) so disproportionately affected by this? Because when government gives you something that you did not work for or earn, and continues to support you and prop you up, incentive for everyone involved to achieve for themsevles ALWAYS decreases and people figure "why work, i'm getting this for free".
Humans need a job. It's part of our nature. From early man, some were hunters, some were foragers, some were warriors, some made things...everyone had a job. Now, Democrats are doing everything they can to ensure YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB, and are reliant solely on government. Seattle is a perfect example of young idiots not having any meaningful work in their lives, being coddled as kids, or having absent parents, and anarchy is the result.

The only reason I have raised this issue here is to promote a discussion of revisionist history. We have removed salient parts of history to push forward a political movement towards a communist society.
We should only look at the bolsheviks and cuban nationalist revolutions- the starting point for both were revisionist hustory.
By the way - the emancipation proclamation took force of law on January 1, 1863. Learn some basic history

End unions, and make teachers accountable, and you might see grades improve in some areas. Other than that, it's really up to the parents, and in the "community" being educated is "selling out".
Government institutions cannot raise good citizens, only parents can. That is the root cause of the problem, but no politician can say it, so they keep throwing money at lost causes.

Slavery abolition by country and date.
Wow, I didn't know there were evil white colonists ruling Saudi Arabia until 1962.

you know the people in Africa who actually sold the slaves to the traders. That always seems to get completely glossed over.
This is the part that gets overlooked way too often. If I get caught buying stolen merchandise how am I guilty of a crime of a higher degree than the one who stole, then sold, said merchandise.

Well, they just drove the nails. The Jewish Sanhedrin passed sentence but, being in a Roman land, had to run all their executions through a Roman court.
Pilate: I have no reason to charge Jesus. He's committed no crime against Rome. Shall I free him?
Sanhedrin: No, tack him up. Give us Barrabas instead.

more people are enslaved today than at any other time in history. Experts have calculated that roughly 13 million people were captured and sold as slaves between the 15th and 19th centuries; today, an estimated 40.3 million people – more than three times the figure during the transatlantic slave trade – are living in some form of modern slavery, according to the latest figures published by the UN’s International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Walk Free Foundation. Women and girls comprise 71% of all modern slavery victims. Children make up 25% and account for 10 million of all the slaves worldwide.

Interesting.

Washington Duke owned slaves* and fought for the confederacy. He and his sons ushered in the new age of cigarettes to the country.
When is Duke university changing their name?
*He didn't own many and claimed to be anti slavery.

You ever read the Bible? The Jews had a pretty horrible slavery experience with the pharoahs.

Right around the time blacks stop blaming white people for everything and start taking responsibility for their own failures.

Or the "white" people who really ran the slave trade.

The “Native Americans” aren’t really native.They are more properly known as Indigenous people.They migrated from Asia across the land bridge and settled North America at least 15,000 years ago.So they were here a lot longer than the European settlers.The morality and ethics of being conquered by Europeans is a whole other argument.The same thing happened in other countries,for example Australia.The Aboriginal people were there for an estimated 65,000 years before the Brish established colonies.

Native Americans were slave owners also, even after the end of the Civil War (the 13th Amendment didn't apply to Native lands in Oklahoma).
The Native Americans Who Also Owned Slaves
"In 1860…Cherokee Nation citizens owned 2,511 slaves (15 percent of their total population), Choctaw citizens owned 2,349 slaves (14 percent of their total population), and Creek citizens owned 1,532 slaves (10 percent of their total population). Chickasaw citizens owned 975 slaves, which amounted to 18 percent of their total population, a proportion equivalent to that of white slave owners in Tennessee, a former neighbour of the Chickasaw Nation and a large slaveholding state."
But that's ok, I guess, because they were just copying the white man.
