"The most radical of the SJWs don't appear to want equality or fairness. They seem to want dominance so they can exact revenge on people in the hear and now for the past"

Spot on. I honestly don't understand how so many people seem to miss this. There's never any willingness to engage and debate, just name-calling and vitriol. Never any talk about solutions that might help people, just complaining about problems (usually from a hundred years ago). And worst of all, they have no actual concern for the people the claim to defend. If a black person or woman or trans person who thinks "the wrong thing", these same SJWs don't hesitate to turn on them.

Though I must say, if we could change the past so there was no slavery, my answer would be a resounding yes. Not only because we'd save generations of people unspeakable suffering and save many people today from the lingering effects of that suffering. But maybe we would have so deeply absorbed the idea of race (and therefore racism) into our psyche. Slavery certainly isn't the only conceivable way we have African-Americans today, just as there are black people in every other country in the world.
