It's not our job to re-educate people with screwed up their views on slavery, segregation, and their lasting impacts on society. Especially in this subreddit of all places. Especially if they come out swinging in defense of slavery with the same bad faith arguments racists have been using for literally hundreds of years now. We don't have the time for those kinds of remedial lessons you could have been asking for BEFORE you drew the line in the sand. A lot of ink has already been spilled explaining it in detail for people with your mindset, and you could even search this subreddit to see why that mindset is a bad one from the start.

And I know you can put in that effort, bc you've already shown that desire in a previous comment you made in r/AITA.
But don't expect black people to suddenly flip a switch and take you by the hand in a comments section where you were making arguments defending slavery. That's not how this works.
edit: I'll do you this solid, though. I'll link you some videos, books, and podcasts for homework.
