I'm a bit sorry if I misinterpret what you say because of my poor understanding of english. But I would answer that whomever having a problem with fighting slavery in general should leave the community. Anyone also using and supporting extreme right vocabulary (e.g. "woke") should leave the community. If that's trolling, all the same. If I misinterpreted (non-native english speaker), I am sorry, and probably you will agree with me and there is no need for dicussion.
