Slavery didn't only harmed black people, it also "dehumanized" white people, creating hate, loss of empathy, ad this would affect people around and not only blacks. People who get used to oppress and torture others would became also bad husbands and bad fathers.
It's more complex than appeares.
I'm not rasing flags of victimism. I'm not even black. I know some things are victmism today. But some facts are true and can't be ignored.

The Greeks had slaves. The American Indians had slaves.There's as much a slavery today as ever in absolute terms, there're just vastly more people overall. |
