Nobody is claiming otherwise.
"Well, Christianity & Western civilization were also, to a large extent, responsible for promoting slavery before Lincoln ended it."
The way you wrote this it's as if Christians invented or amplified slavery, when instead they took what was then a universal practice and treated slaves as fellow human beings and treated them better than any others in the world. So much so that many slaves did not even want to leave their plantations after they were freed.
The famous pictures you see of a black slave with his back all scarred up, what they don't tell you is he was guilty of assault and rape.
Likewise, many of the southern lynchings of blacks were because those individuals were guilty of violent crimes, rape, murder, etc. and they did the same thing to white criminals all the time.
The boomer generation basically brainwashed everyone into believing southern whites were pure evil who enjoyed tormenting black people and that black people were purely innocent victims. This outrageous brainwashing has persisted in education and mass media until only recently.
