Yes. Africans travelled to the Americas as free people. Usually, a governor would give them a document stating who they were.
Toss me a link or something. This can't be true. If so that's fukked up.

So if you acknowledge that the effects are real, why try to minimize it by saying its not real in any scientific way? Whats the point of that statement?
Race may not be "real" but i know that my skin does not burn and peel like that of a Nordic. Race is a "social construct" but there are some key differences between the different races/ethnicities out here.
exactly. these are recent studies...
Neanderthal DNA affects ethnic differences in immune response
DNA acquired from breeding with Neanderthals may explain why people of European descent respond differently to infection than those of African descent, two studies suggest. The findings might also offer insight into why people of African descent are more prone to autoimmune diseases caused by an overactive immune system.
Neanderthals mated with European humans and it made their immune systems weaker

Race isn't real because the categorizations are nonsensical. How am I in the same racial category as a Tuareg, Amhara and Baka Pygmy?
im not arguing that race isnt a social construct, but there are biological differences between blacks and whites/asians.
Gotdamn. Africans predisposed to literally selling out. Whether africa or here its so easy to get a breh to turn on his own for cash. It's the main reason white supremacy has survive 5 centuries in the US, whites just gotta enrich a few blacks and those blacks will do all the heavy lifting of oppressing their own.Some did revolt and/or stop selling slaves after seeing the atrocities, but a large portion simply could not care as long as their coffers expanded.

got any more lanks
Does that mean that because you say its a social construct that its effects aren't very real? Time is a social construct as well, do you have the same sentiments about it as you do race?
