I Do Not Understand Racist People

if your being tortured would you really be thinking about what race they are? there are billions of evil people in the world and some of them become leaders. some become famous leaders. i dont think it would make a difference if hitler was Asian. many people from many parts of the world have caused more pain and death than that guy. the trans Atlantic slave trade was around for like 2000 years. race didnt matter, your just on the loosing end of the spear. this is how nations were built in ancient times. it was just a way of life.

The transatlantic slave trade started in the 15th century (actually 1600-something), which is less than 500 years ago. But you do make a good point.

@GuyWithOpinions They have been around a very long time. I think they were quite common in Africa for thousands of years before the transatlantic slave trade began. And I know that Vikings used to capture people as slaves during raids on Britton and Europe.

@CleverFunnyNameGoesHere if you are plunged into a life of servitude against your own will or kept from you ability to find happiness, i believe is slavery. we have modern varieties we have just become a custom to because people dont work if they become aware of it. so they keep us focused on other things.

@GuyWithOpinions This is true.
