Hey Maxwell,
I have been learning a lot. Actually, lots of races were enslaved. In fact Africans especially those in power owned slaves. However, around 2040BC or 3100 BC, the whites or who we could consider whites… fought the Arabs, won.. then enslaved Africans and Africans became the MOST enslaved. Not all but most.

Fast forward, we traded ourselves to the whites. Let me back up: Black women were sold to every race of man by their own men, thousands of years prior.

1619 still remains a HORRIBLE version of slavery and let’s not get into Jim Crow.

My point is that I am definitely still learning while seeing current racism unfold before my very eyes.

As always Maxwell, I still value your astute thoughts!
