We should get a group of people together, have them watch him, when they see him, have them turn and speak into their collar. Get him nervous. Have a few people with geiger counters aiming them at him, he doesnt know what a retinal scanner is actually for, so he probably wont know what a geiger counter is.
Have a bunch of people drive past him really slow in black official looking cars, with each person in the car wearing a black suit and tie, sunglasses. lol.

Well, white people have certainly done their fair share of starting and fighting wars and killing loads of people. Hitler was white, after all.

God, if a white person said that all blacks should be exterminated there would be an uproar.

Thats the point, they were slaves, because they were black. You couldn't kidnap an irish person, or any white person, and make him/her into a slave.
This is a study that digs deeply into this "other" slavery, the bondage of Europeans by north-African Muslims that flourished during the same centuries as the heyday of the trans-Atlantic trade from sub-Saharan Africa to the Americas.
Over one million European Christians kidnapped and enslaved by Muslims:
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study suggests that a million or more European Christians were enslaved by Muslims in North Africa between 1530 and 1780 – a far greater number than had ever been estimated before.
In a new book, Robert Davis, professor of history at Ohio State University, developed a unique methodology to calculate the number of white Christians who were enslaved along Africa’s Barbary Coast, arriving at much higher slave population estimates than any previous studies had found.
Most other accounts of slavery along the Barbary coast didn’t try to estimate the number of slaves, or only looked at the number of slaves in particular cities, Davis said. Most previously estimated slave counts have thus tended to be in the thousands, or at most in the tens of thousands. Davis, by contrast, has calculated that between 1 million and 1.25 million European Christians were captured and forced to work in North Africa from the 16th to 18th centuries.
