There was no conception of race or natural hierarchy between races before chattel slavery. The concept of race was created and instituted especially for the Atlantic slave trade.
People never fukked with each other based on differences whether it’s tribe, religion, phenotype, etc. throughout human history well before the Atlantic slave trade. These ideologies just didn’t appear out of thin air one day.

Lovely now we've moved to the nonsensical, "ending capitalism will solve racism" part of the discourse. That one's up there with "let the old racists die off" as one of the dumber takes on how to address racism.
I call it the college freshman syndrome

Nikkas take a couple of classes, read a couple of articles and think they have the whole world figured out. Like a college freshman
It's incredible how it always works that way. I suppose it's apart of the growing process.

Facts. Couple articles written by these intersectionalist LGBT liberals, some Twitter threads, maybe some old speeches and videos and an echo chamber is set off :dead:

NoName is leading the way :russ:

Racism is different from having disdain for exogroups. When the Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans described the barbarians, they relegated their differences to culture and practices without implying that they were natural differences between men.

Plus if war and conflict are endemic to the world, association and partnership between groups existed throughout the ages. Ancient Greeks had nothing but reverence towards Ancient Egyptians as Herodotus, Aristotle, Pythagoras, etc shared in their writings, despite the differences in "tribe, religion, phenotype".

Not only the segmentation of the world in races is a recent thing, it's different from basic xenophobia. It's saying that entire segments of people across cultures, ethnicities and localizations can be grouped together in one category and classed relatively to other categories built the same way according to arbitrary characteristics. Immutable characteristics that'll define their attitude to their aspects to their intelligence and ability in all areas. That's a whole different cat.

White people are the root cause of racism.
And White people created the modern form of capitalism (I feel like proto-capitalism been around for thousands of years). The fact that "White people" even exists was due to 18th century European elites juelzing for a way to justify enslaving millions of people.

I know it seems like capitalism is a byproduct of racism now but, as another poster put it, it was actually the creator of that ideology and it became so successful that it overtook the original cause for it

Any examples based on phenotype?

Why does the Coli defends capitalism so much?:jbhmm:

I'm not even a full-scale communist ( I'm a democratic socialist) but sit here and deny capitalism being a major originator is disingenuous. I'm glas that many black Gen Z are waking up now and questioning capitalism as a system.
