I don't believe in race, dumbass but since I live in a country obsessed by it I have to use the term to converse with you troglodytes. Google it you DMF!
you don't believe in race? how do you explain the differences between caucasian, mongoloid, and negroid?
The same way they did for thousands of years before some White guy i Germany said "let there be race."
Thats not entirely true, if you research the Islamic/Arab slave trade which spanned over a thousand years. The word they used to describe Africans litteraly meant "slave". I doubt by this time white europeans had african slaves, but they themselves had been taken as slaves by Arabs who sailed as far as Iceland to get them.
Then allow me to examine the "truth" in your premise as well. The very word "slave" is derived from the word "SLAV."
slave
Word History: The derivation of the word
slave encapsulates a bit of European history and explains why the twowords
slave and
Slav are so similar; they are, in fact, historically identical. The word
slave first appears in Englisharound 1290, spelled
sclave. The spelling is based on Old French
esclave from Medieval Latin
sclavus, "Slav, slave,"first recorded around 800.
Sclavus comes from Byzantine Greek
sklabos (pronounced sklä′vōs) "Slav," which appearsaround 580.
Sklavos approximates the Slavs' own name for themselves
Continuing... A you can see the word "slavery" has origins in Europe, not the middle east or Africa. And also I would impress upon you to take notice of the difference between chattel slavery and human bondage. That slight variation is dependent on how the captor's society sees his captives. Chattel slavery i the world of Ilam was decidedly less racial intensive than Christian slavery according to the following passage:
How Islam moderated slavery
Islam's approach to slavery added the idea that freedom was the natural state of affairs for human beings and in line with this it limited the opportunities to enslave people, commended the freeing of slaves and regulated the way slaves were treated:
- Islam greatly limited those who could be enslaved and under what circumstances (although these restrictions were often evaded)
- Islam treated slaves as human beings as well as property
- Islam banned the mistreatment of slaves - indeed the tradition repeatedly stresses the importance of treating slaves with kindness and compassion
- Islam allowed slaves to achieve their freedom and made freeing slaves a virtuous act
- Islam barred Muslims from enslaving other Muslims
