Ah, yes. The English, particularly the whites, are the only ones to have had slavery. Nobody before them, nobody after them, and nobody committed any comparable crimes separate from their influence.
Kill all white people.

Where are you getting 'kill all white people from'? The post definitely condemns English colonization, in my eyes, but I don't see any implications that nobody else enslaved whatsoever or that white people deserve to die. To be fair, though, I may well be misunderstanding the post
It's the root of their sentiments. Our Anglo-centric view of history coupled with education demonizing the West has created a mindset of viewing history and the world through the lens of "These white men are dangerous".
This very post implies that enslaving innocent people is English (White).

Hmm... perhaps it's just my cultural background then, because I didn't see the inherent link to white people being dangerous that you mention. If that's the case for Americans, though, that does really suck. I'm not at all a fan of colonialism, but I don't think the 'white-people-are-inherently-dangeorus' sentiment you mention is at all fair or even helpful to anyone. I want to believe that it's only a condemnation of the British Empire, but assuming it isn't, I hope that that kind of view dies out sooner rather than later. Nobody deserves racism.
In the US political discourse, on the fringes, has devolved to the point of white man always bad vs white man always good. It's ridiculous and I'm honestly ashamed of the state of US politics. Identity politics will be the death of the Union.
Well that's interesting. You may not realize that slavery is still practiced today and is legal in several countries. But don't take my word for it check out this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_21st_century Funnily enough, most of the English countries fall into the 0.0-0.05 range.
