As Twitchy readers know, Matt Walsh corrected a social justice warrior on Twitter who claimed slavery was white history ... he explained quite clearly how this was not in fact the truth and even went on to explain how those evil white people were the first to abolish slavery.
Slavery is world history. White people did not invent it, and were not the first to practice it, but were the first to abolish it. The last place in the world to still have legal slavery was Africa. It wasn't fully legally abolished on the continent until 1981. https://t.co/ZfTvdLXydt

Welp, if you spend any time reading Twitchy (and of course, we hope you do) then you know Nikole Hannah-Jones tried to challenge him on this and that didn't go so hot. So we're not sure why Ibram X. Kendi aka Henry Rogers thought it was a good idea to jump in but here we are.
The ultimate White savior statement. https://t.co/KxhsCWSWP7

Or, you know, history.
Walsh responded perfectly:
Why don't we have a conversation live on camera about this issue? You can explain to me in person why my statements about slavery are wrong. What do you say @ibramxk?
— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) February 8, 2024
So far we're not seeing Kendi accept Walsh's invitation, even though it would be a much-watched show.
A RATINGS BONANZA even.

Right?
Joel Berry also responded to Kendi:
call it what you want, it's 100% true.
— Joel Berry (@JoelWBerry) February 7, 2024
Who then played the 'White Savior' card again.
If you believe this to be 100% true, then that means you believe Black people contributed little to the abolition of slavery.

Since you are so stuck on White saviors, you may want to save yourself from ignorance. https://t.co/Vyfg9SwwRa
Huh?
What now?
HA HA HA HA HA
He really should just admit he has no argument and was just talking smack for attention.
Your name is Henry Rogers
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) February 7, 2024
Oof.
That doesn't sound nearly as 'social justice-y' as Ibram X. Kendi though.
Sheesh.
Slavery still thrives in Africa and the Middle East.

If slavery is your biggest axe to grind today, then it's time to return to 2024 and start targeting the perpetrators --- who aren't White.
But WHITE SAVIOR and stuff!
This is a savior statement.
— Reality's PR Guy (@PhilALarsen) February 8, 2024
Because the Savior was the one who inspired the end of slavery.
Thank God for western civilization, where freedom of religion was allowed to flourish enough for Christians to spread the message of abolition and bring and end to the evil practice. https://t.co/QJUpouQmUK

Of course, it's true.
That's why he and Nikole Hannah-Jones both jumped in to try and pretend it's not. Can't have any sort of history where people of different colors were good to one another and did good things ... there is no money to be made on THAT history.
