Sorry, that argument doesn't fly.
America took responsibility after it dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, and stuck around to build Japan up to the great country it is today, we didn't skirt our responsibilities.

I didnt say we werent responsible, so please read what I wrote, think about it, inwardly digest it and try to understand it if possible before you reply. I wrote that the British empire abolished slavery a long time before the US did.
I also wrote that slavery existed in N and S America before the arrival of the Europeans, in contrast to your statement that:

"All Slavery in the Americas (north and south) was implemented by European colonialism."

That statement is simply untrue, if you research it you will find the Aztec and other Meso American cultures used slavery in a variety of forms. Native American tribe also practiced it in various forms.
Is that too difficult for you to understand?
