If you contort your thinking enough, 1920s Germans suffered miserably and unfairly and we could never comprehend their suffering, us being so fragile. How can we judge them for what they did later?

At what point did I say that they are beyond judgment? Germany is still paying for reparations, after all.

I never said it did.
I just wanted to point out that the popular belief that white Europeans created African slavery out of thin air and hunted them down like animals to sell is false.
Indigenous Africans were dispossessed, murdered, and enslaved. Sugarcoating it for us fragile white people does no good.
