quote:
It surpises me that people are still surpised when people of non-lighter skin colors exhibit racsim. People from ALL ethnic backgrounds, all countries, all walks of life do so. I guess that we've fallen prey to the modern, political narrative that only certain races commit racist acts, and only certain races fall victim to it. Same thing with slavery. The modern narrative focuses almost exclusively on the evils of slavery as practiced by Europeans and Americans. Yet, eight centuries before the first slaves from West Africa were brought to Portugal in the fifteenth century by Portuguese mariners, the Muslim Arabs were taking black slaves from East and Central Africa. Zanzibar, for example, hosted a huge Arab trade in black slaves. And lest we forget, European and American slavers bought slaves from African intermediaries who took slaves in tribal warfare. Black African slave traders established a very lucrative business in selling captured slaves to the European and American slavers. No one's hands are clean in this business. Bill
