I think the slavery by "every great civilization" thing is over emphasized by Europeans who want to lighten the dark spotlight that's pointed to them when it comes to the transatlantic slave trade.
Europe was unique in its brand of slavery. No place in human history went to the degrees of how Europeans treated each other and gradually treated everyone else. This was a byproduct of constantly fighting for limited resources due to living in Europe.
Nature plays a huge role on the behavior of Europeans. You had frenchmen putting other Frenchmen "breaking on the wheel," back in the 1200's, a practice later used in chattel slavery.
People need to accept it rather than aligning other empires and the word "slavery" to the practice of Europeans and what took place in the middle ages and beyond.
I think there is a difference between using history as a crutch and using it as a knowledge base.
What Europeans did in the transatlantic slave trade was nothing 'new'. What happened in America and continued far past the point in history when people as a society should have and did know better is a different story.
It was "new" to Africans if you study pre-colonial Africa.

And as someone else mentioned before, the British Empire was the fukkign scourge of the earth. Just think to the Potato famine in Ireland. Millions of Irish starved to death while the food that grew on THEIR land that THEY harvested was shipped across the straight to feed the English, who were NOT starving
The same way Human sacrifice the Mayas performed was 'new' to the Conquistadors, same as Christianity, church and state was 'new' to the Mayans.
New to me doesn't make it 'new' to everyone.
Very underrated post. People really think Africa is some monolithic, homogenous Country. smh Race wasn't invented until the Colonization of America.
That's why I laughed at this white dude who got mad at me for calling him, a white guy. You see. White people were always just seen as "people" while they referred to other races as "black people, red people, Asian people". White people think they are the only group of people who can be seen as people before they are seen for their race. That's why they get mad when you call them white. Ironically they INVENTED race. "But I didn't invent race. My ancestors did." here we go again with white people only wanting to embrace the positive shyt their ancestors did.
Bartering and trading for slaves was invented during the late 17th century??
Enlighten me breh.

What the hell?
"New" to you is blurring the lines of what we're talking about.
The transatlantic slave trade and the TREATMENT of their cargo was unique and NEW.
You're just pointing out religious sacrifices. Give me an example of Mayan's oppressing others not named the movie Apocolypto.
Fun movie to watch.
On topic, slaves were whipped and mistreated in history long before the transatlantic slave trade is my point. What was 'new' was the systematic building of an ENTIRE COUNTRY on the entire trade and the corresponding hypocrisy of new land of freedom being created on the backs of others who were not included.
Curious question though.....why do white ppl ALWAYS deflect race issues? I mean its like y'all go full retard as soon as anything race related is being discussed.
Y'all can't ever have just one moment of shame about y'all shyt
