Wait until he finds out who was selling the slaves, then finds out who was transporting them. Maybe, in time, he'll discover that the nasty slave trade throughout time didn't just enslave Blacks and wasn't just White's who were slave masters. What will really blow his mind is when he finds out that the Black slave trade from Africa only sent a fraction of slaves to the U.S., and the majority landed in South America and the Caribbean.
Yep, I find quotes like his on more than one source: 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World. 10.7 million survived the dreaded Middle Passage, disembarking in North America, the Caribbean and South America.
And how many of these 10.7 million Africans were shipped directly to North America? Only about 388,000. That’s right: a tiny percentage.

Kills the whole "woke" story.
I might be wrong but I think something like 95% of slaves went to South America.

Wikipedia omits this point, as does my daughters 5th grade class.
