One-sided outrage

As another institution removes the name of a patron who was involved in the slave trade in a cloud of confected indignation, let us demand some proportionality. Why is the outrage never directed at the Africans, who rounded up and sold their fellow countrymen (and women and children) and flogged off their bodies to anyone with the asking price? Probably because pandering to the imagined grievances of current generations of racialist minorities is mandatory in luvvie circles.
