No, he's implying that American slavery was somehow less bad than "African slavery" because that White Man's Burden bullshit is still quite a popular narrative in Europe.
You'd think being nearly colonised by the Nazis would have taught them the dangers of such lines of thinking, but no.

Transcript:
ANANSI: “I am not a God in the sense that I can’t tolerate the exploitation, oppression, and repression. My worshipers know: freedom ain’t free. They know the most potent weapon of control for the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. They know slavery is not a condition. Slavery is a cult. Human trafficking is a cult. Slavery got a rebrand like motherfucking the alt-right. And snatched, another one gone. Every thirty seconds another chocolate, brown, caramel, yellow, high yellow, redbone refugee girl with melanin in her skin gets snatched. Every thirty seconds.
And to make matters worse, these dazzling new plantation owners built a pipeline to take our children from school to prison quicker than a cut can bleed. And the lucky ones go from the school to the NFL where they don’t even let them n****** take a knee. They’ve been programmed since birth with shitty food options, contaminated drinking water, gun violence, police brutality, and trauma after trauma after trauma. PTSD, no therapy. Missing? No Amber Alert. Alone. Vulnerable. Snatched. Another one gone.”

Edit: At this point they can come out and just say save the children... and everyone would attack them for being QAnon. It’s the general damage QAnon and their ilk has caused to legitimate causes, like save the children. Even save the children doesn’t have that basic... ‘why won’t anyone think of the children’... banality of 5 years ago, but has implications of far more sinister intent.
But, I digress...
