hmm, slavery - lets not forget that many of the black african peoples who were sold into the slavery of the white man were sold to the white man by other tribes and nations of black africans. Not simply a case of the white man kicking back because blacks were deemed to be merely 'inferior beings' (that came later). Blacks were enslaving other blacks in the dark continent (as referred to by europeans because it was unknown territory, not because of its denizens skin colour) long before any white men arrived on those shores.

Slavery is about money first and foremost. Race only comes into it after it's accepted for one group to exploit another for pecuniary gain.

In order to perpetuate this, spurious reasons of inferiority and intellectual retardation and many other facile ideas are used to establish vested interests and prejudice as fact.
