White men were in charge of both the perpetuation and abolition of slavery. They were in charge for centuries, doing both good and bad, and enjoying all the profits associated with ownership and leadership.  People are still doing good and bad, but leadership is more shared now.

Now females and minorities, both good and bad, can reap a more fair share of leadership benefits. That means less profit for white men. And less objectifying of females.

There are people who want to go back to those old times. Some of those people seek only information that supports their self-serving goals (for example, watching Fox News). When you do that, you end up going around in circles.
