I have written about this very subject once before, but I just have to write about it again because I encounter this very idea being spouted again and again, even after all these years.
The modern far left, in their incomprehensible and infinite hatred of "white people", love to engage in historical revisionism in order to smear, undermine, belittle and completely distort their past, and in fact the entire history of humanity.
Many of these leftists are completely seriously claiming that "white people" invented slavery. That slavery did not exist in the world until "white people" invented it. According to them, the concept was completely unknown and non-existent among "non-white people" before "white people" introduced it to them. Any slavery committed by "non-white people" happened only and solely because they learned the practice from "white people." And even then, usually only to sell the slaves to "white people".
I'm not even kidding. Many far-leftists are claiming exactly that, in all seriousness.
But as incredible is it might sound, that's actually not the most egregious form of historical revisionism that they are engaging in. Or, at least, the most ridiculous.
By far the most ridiculous form of historical revisionism that at least some far-leftists are seriously claiming is that, just like slavery, "white people" invented the concept of there being only two sexes, male and female, and, likewise, that this concept was non-existent among "non-white people" before "white people" introduced and outright forced the concept onto them.
I don't think I need to even explain how utterly ridiculous that claim is.
It's just incredible how they are making this claim in all seriousness, and are still making the claim to this day.
