Black, White, etc. didn’t exist. That’s unique to here. Why does everybody always want to try and deflect to what other countries did or didn’t do? We’re talking about what happened right here. What happens right here. We don’t live in those other countries. We weren’t bought and sold in those other countries. And “chattel” slavery was created in this one. How is it not deeply embedded when slavery went from 1619 to 1885 predating the country itself and Jim Crow went from 1885 to the 1960’s? How is it not deeply embedded when this country has been OPENLY racist for longer than it existed? Come on man. Y’all can’t be serious with me right now.

But most importantly, if the Japanese still take issue with what the Chinese did I’m never going to tell them their wrong. I don’t believe there was a such a thing as Hebrew people during the reign of Ancient Egypt, but for the sake of the debate, if those people took issue with the Egyptians I don’t have anything to say. That’s their quarrels. It ain’t my business. We don’t need to hear about what everybody else did. We need to deal with our ****.
The Egyptian empire enslaved the hebrews way before America came along. Barbary coast pirates of North Africa raided European settlements for white slaves in the 1500s. Black slavers captured Black slaves who were sold to Black slave owners here in the colonies. This is not to say racism was/is not
a part of North America’s history. It obviously is. However, Evidence exists that America did not invent slavery or racism. Dumping that baggage on any group today and saying they are responsible is unfair.
