Why do Anti-Racist, Slavery Fixaters never speak about the Black American colonization of Liberia?

Update:

Liberia, a country in West Africa, was founded by Freed Slaves from the United States who later went on to Enslave the Native Africans there in the same exact manners as they themselves had been enslaved.

Update 2:

Isn't Slavery reserved solely to the evil Christian White Man and the Poor Innocent Black Man?

Update 3:

I thought there was no such thing as "Black on Black" slavery, White Fascists?

Update 4:

@Entropy

"First of all, what is an "Anti-Racist, Slavery Fixater"?"

An "Anti-Racist, Slavery Fixater" is generally a Rich Uppity White Person from a region such as Chappaqua, NY, or Greenwich, CT, that supports and recites verbatim MSNBC/CNN/NPR News casts about Slavery in the USA.

"Are you saying that someone who is opposed to racism is "fixating"?"

Not at all, the phrase I used was "Slavery Fixater", which is someone who does nothing other than Fixate on Slavery in the United States as an excuse to muddy the name of the United States, and knows nothing about Slavery elsewhere throughout History, right up to Modern Times.

"Someone opposed to slavery is "fixating"?"

Nope, see above.

"Fixating is usually a term with a negative connotation."

"Ignoring that, it doesn't come up very often because it's not very relevant."

Black on Black Slavery is not relevant to the subject of Slavery? Why is that I wonder? Because it disproves your constant implications that Slavery was only perpetrated by Whites?

"Whites enslaved other whites. Africans enslaved africans long before the colonial period. Arabs enslaved one another longer before the Crusades. Slavery sucks. It's wrong. It's harmful, morally, and economically."

That's about the ONLY intelligent thing in this paragraph long rant.

I'm not stuffing words in anyone's mouth, for an "Equalizer" you seem to centralize on one aspect of "Slavery" without juxtaposing it to others in a Historical Context, namely, for example, the Liberian colonization and enslavement of Native Africans there BY Black Slaves that were freed in the United States.

You only discuss aspects of a subject that conform to your sick, psychotic, demented views, and that scream that OTHERS only talk about specific concepts of an Abstract Subject.

Thus, you are also a Hypocrite.

    First of all, what is an "Anti-Racist, Slavery Fixater"? Are you saying that someone who is opposed to racism is "fixating"? Someone opposed to slavery is "fixating"? Fixating is usually a term with a negative connotation.

    Ignoring that, it doesn't come up very often because it's not very relevant. Slavery is an institution that has emerged in every culture. Once you go from nomadic hunter/gatherer to a settled state, odds are pretty good that slavery will emerge at some point because there's alot of work to do.

    Whites enslaved other whites. Africans enslaved africans long before the colonial period. Arabs enslaved one another longer before the Crusades. The thing the colonial whites did that was unique though was to turn it into an industry. No one else did slavery as efficiently as the Romans, and later the colonial Europeans.

    Slavery sucks. It's wrong. It's harmful, morally, and economically. Sorry to "fixate" on that. But it deserves to be said that modern economist realize that while slavery enriches the slave owner, it actually is very economically DAMAGING to the economy as a whole, and is a big part (along with Jim Crow which had many of the same effects) for why the South is still poorer than the rest of the nation.

    You trying to stuff words in people's mouth that it was a purely white on black thing is incorrect in a world history sense, though if someone were speaking strictly of US history, it would obviously be accurate.

    Black Africans sold other black Africans into slavery and still do. If people are so against slavery, get involved in stopping it now, when living people can be freed!
