So mixed slave owners are telling indigenous blacks they are superior and it has NOTHING to do with race? Even the article it mentions south asians as well.Those guys are mixed. Just like we got mixed negroes here in America, in that part of Africa you had a lot of trade happening on the Indian Ocean so a lot of the coastal Africans mixed with non-African sea merchants. Patrick Mahomes and Drake would fit in among those so-called sand cacs.
You guys need to stop giving non-whites so much credit. They never did much in terms of slavery in Africa. Most of it was us. And slavery isn't that big a deal to future generations. Its only bad for those who are enslaved. The issue we have with slavery here in America is really a white supremacy issue. Because race and slavery were tied together here in the Americas, it allowed the vestiges of slavery to persist even after slavery ended.
Almost every human society had slavery at one point or another. But in no other society was slavery and race tied together. So after a few generations nobody knew who was descended of slaves and who was descended from slave owners. Thus the vestiges of servitude didn't persist. However, that wasn't the case in the Americas. Because race was tied to enslavement, we will always know who is descended from slaves and who is descended from slave owners.
Racism and white supremacy is the real culprit. Not slavery.
