Well sure anything can be compared in a literal sense. For example, based on your responses, I think you are either more racist or more ignorant than the average individual. However, the literal comparability of the two types of slavery is not exactly the point anyone is making here.
I don’t think it was about “white vs black” as much as it was about “America can take any system, good or bad, and turn it into something so much worse”.
Not comparable
This argument is fucking stupid. And racist.
The argument that chattle slavery and ye olde roman slavery are wildly different is stupid and racist? Cool story.
They’re both two types of slavery. They’re in the same category. They can be compared.
Of course they are comparable, just that the statement is a little strange in the context of American history.

I must’ve misunderstood, sorry.
Slavery is slavery no matter who does it or whom it’s done to.
Not even close. Chattel slavery is much worse.
