Slavery based on skin color (along with western imperialism) was based on scientific racism which was a product of the Enlightenment. |
kinda right, i just notice how people STILL tend to forget the massive, and longer enduring slave-trade made by arabs/muslims on africans.
itīs like europeans/americans are the only ones supposed to feel ashamed for the slave trade, when arabs are basically still doing it, altho they switched to east-asians now.
