[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] [b]The history of the Slave trade is of course very long, so we can go no further with it right now. But so far, we have evidence only of slavery, not Racism. As we have seen, Blacks and Whites were prime movers in the trade. We have also seen that slavery was about making money; who became a slave, was a matter of convenience that was related to availability and the ability to do the job. So how did Racism and Blacks become synonymous? A clue lays in the quote above: “Some African kings even undertook special military expeditions against neighboring tribes and, if necessary, sold their own citizens.” Leaving that quote for a moment, lets take a look at basic human nature. There has been a rash of stories in the news lately, about European men who have imprisoned their daughters and impregnated them several times. Though we all sympathize with those poor daughters. Don’t we also make value judgments about the quality of those families? Don’t we also think that they must be somehow “sub-human” or “less-than” in order to be involved in such abhorrent things? Now back to Slavery: as we have seen, all the European nations were involved in it, from the “POPE” on down. We are also all aware of the HORRORS of the Slave trade. So how does a God-fearing, Pious, servant-of-the Lord, White Person, reconcile himself to subjecting another Human Being to such unspeakable suffering and death? Easy, convince yourself that they are somehow not really Human like you. Find things about them, that is unlike you, or what you would do. The “unlike you” part was easy and obvious, they are Black, you are White. The “unlike what you would do” part was easy too - though untrue. But still, the question - what kind of people would sell their own kind, into such misery and death, out of simple greed, is a legitimate one. But of course, Whites only interest in this line of thought, was in finding cover for their own atrocities, and in so doing, avoid damnation. And so, “voila” you have institutional Racism. BTW – the beautiful Christian hymn “Amazing Grace” was written by an English Slave Ship Captain, for whom that convenient rationale, no longer worked.[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
