Muslim book does.
And yet, that is exactly what the Christians went out and did, for
centuries. With not a quibble, indeed, with the encouragement, of their
moral leaders.

Maybe they feel the same about you. Because when they do well, it can
enrage you to such a degree that you feel the need to put them down again, using force and violence if need be.

They do so well that they are living in the same ghettos they lived in decades ago ...

Completely ignoring the story of what happened when a bunch of black
people actually succeeded in bettering themselves.

People have been enslaving one another for millennia. Christianity did
not create the problem. If anything, Christians were rallying against
the practice from the beginning and there are lots of excerpts in the
New Testament saying as much. If people calling themselves Christians participated in the trade, that does not mean that the religion endorses
it. Meanwhile, Islam _fully_ endorses slavery and the practice continues
in areas they control to this day.
Once again, Poles had nothing to do with it ...

There is nothing to disavow. A religion cannot be held responsible for
what people claiming to be its adherents do. The New Testament is clear
in the idea that Christians should be rallying _against_ slavery.
Finally, your opinion of Christianity is of no interest to me.
