Slavery never WAS a "race" issue.

Was it racial when Northern Africans and Muslims took Caucasians and the Slavs into slavery?

You DO know that's where the term slavery came from... right?

EVERY race have been slaves, so HOW can it be a "race" issue?

And now for a brief history of slavery.

Here's the first thing you need to know. Slavery was not "invented" by white people. It did not start in 1619 when the 
first slaves came to Jamestown. It existed before then. It did not start in 1492 when Columbus discovered the New 
World.

In fact, when the intrepid explorer landed in the Bahamas, the native Taino tribe hoped he could help them defeat their 
aggressive neighbors, the Caribs. The Caribs enslaved the Taino and, on occasion, served them for dinner. Slavery 
existed in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

The word 'slave" actually comes from the Slavs of Eastern Europe. Millions of them - all white by the way - were 
captured and enslaved by Muslims in the ninth century and later by the Ottoman Turks. Slavery existed when the Roman 
Empire controlled the Mediterranean and most of Europe from the 1st through the 5th centuries.

Slavery existed when Alexander the Great conquered Persia in the 4th century BC. It was so common that Aristotle simply 
considered it "natural." The slave/master model was just how the world operated in the great philosopher's day. Slavery 
existed during the time of the ancient Egyptians five thousand years ago.

As far back we can go in human history, we find slavery. As renowned historian John Steele Gordon notes, from time 
immemorial, 'slaves were a major item of commerce... As much as a third of the population of the ancient world was 
enslaved."

Here's the second thing you need to know. White people were the first to formally put an end to slavery. In 1833, 
Britain was the first country in the history of the world to pass a Slavery Abolition Act. They were quickly followed 
by France, who in 1848 abolished slavery in her many colonies.

Then, of course, came the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. After centuries of human slavery, 
white men led the world in putting an end to the abhorrent practice. That includes the 300,000 Union soldiers, 
overwhelmingly white, who died during the Civil War. Am I saying that this makes white people better than anyone else? 

Of course not. My purpose here is to simply tell the truth, and the truth is that human history is complicated; no one, 
regardless of skin color, stands guiltless. Yet today we are never told to consider the murderous Persian Empire or the 
cannibalism of indigenous tribes of North and South America, or the heinous actions under the imperialistic Muslim, 
Chinese, Mongol, or Japanese Empires, to name just a few.

Instead, we're told that slavery is a white phenomenon. Like all persistent lies, this lie spawns a bunch of other 
lies. On social media I come across extraordinary depictions about how Africans lived liked pharaohs before Europeans 
came and laid waste to their paradise. I wish any of this were true. But it's not. It's a fantasy.

The truth is that Africans were sold into slavery by other black Africans. And in many cases, sold for items as trivial 
as gin and mirrors. Whites didn't go into the interior and round up the natives. They waited on the coast for their 
black partners to bring them black bodies.

The stark reality is that our lives had very little value to our ancestors. Here's the third thing you need to know. If 
you think slavery is a relic of the past, you're wrong. There are some 700,000 slaves in Africa today. Right now. 
That's the lowest estimate I could find. Other sources say there are many more.

For context, that's almost twice as many slaves as were ever brought to the United States. Child soldiers, human 
trafficking, forced labor-these are the conditions that currently exist within the same sub-Saharan region where the 
transatlantic slave trade originated.

African bodies are being sold today like they were sold then-and no, they are not being purchased by any country of 
white men. In fact, slavery, by any traditional definition, is exclusively practiced today within nonwhite countries. 
But we hear almost nothing about this. Just like we hear nothing about how slavery was universal until good people in 
Europe and America ended it two centuries ago.

Why? Because our so-called "leaders" - black and white - wouldn't profit from it. Black victim-hood is nothing if not 
profitable. It elects politicians and funds racial grievance groups. And if black Americans began to view themselves as 
partners in the American dream... If we embraced the patriotic spirit that holds all men are created equal, the 
patriotic spirit that is our real heritage... Then the race hustlers would soon be out of business.

And who wants that?

These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now 
they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've 
got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't 
move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, well lose the 
filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over
