>>49116188>The white identity and all the racism around it rose greatly because of the transatlantic slave trade but also because of colonialism.Africans sold Africans into slavery; no European settlers consistently broke into and dwelled within central Africa until after the slave trade had significantly waned or was outright ended. In fact, the Songhai, the last great African empire of the Sub-Sahara, effectively sold itself into slavery amid an unending civil war brought about by a single succession crisis. Europe (specifically Britain ended the international slave trade). The Middle East continues slavery to this day (even in places like Europe). I like how nobody talks about Genghis Khan despite how his systematic cultural genocides involved far more wholesale murder and rape than anything which Europe, Mesopotamia, the Levant or Africa have ever managed to levy upon humanity.
