I disagree with you.
Slave trade was fundamentally about race.
Early forms of western European racial prejudice first began between Europeans. Ancient Greeks described “other” European groups, such as Scythians and Celts, as barbarians and savages. They often defined their prejudices based on physical preferences for certain bodily and facial features, including lighter skin, and discouraged intermarriage. Greek scholars such as Hippocrates attributed place and climate as the defining factors in shaping different physical appearances, and they additionally argued that certain physical traits signified mental and behavioral inferiority.
Ancient Romans believed that being “civilized” marked their superiority, both physically and mentally, over the Gauls and Germani of Europe. By the Middle Ages, European Christians also stigmatized the color “black,” and associated it with sin and death. The darker skin of European laborers who worked outside with sun and wind exposure led elites to link skin color and darkness to servitude, long before New World slavery.
During later divisions and conflicts throughout Europe, combatants continued to claim physical and mental superiority over their opponents to justify military and labor subjugation. For example, during the British conquest of Ireland in the sixteenth century, the English monarchy characterized the Gaelic Irish as morally and physically inferior, as well as darker skinned, in comparison to the "civilized" English population.
I am also a South African like that numbers guy who commented. The Afrikaners here are from Dutch, German and French decent. Apartheid over here was a more brutal form of slavery. Not in the form of ownership, but domestic servitude. The derogatory term for a slave here was 'kaffir'. Its now illegal to say it. It is a term for non-caucasians that means non-believer and infidel.
There is something about this slave trade you all forget.
The African didnt start the slave trade. The Europeans did. All those African countries who sold slaves to the West, were already colonised by the West.

The Angolans didnt sell their slaves. The Portuguese who colonised Angola enslaved the whole nation and started the slave trade. Dutch, France and Britain and Spain then followed suit. Slaves in ancient times were prisoners of war. Modern slave trading was all about race and created by Caucasians.

Transgenderism is very popular in Asia, have you ever been to Bangkok?

Its obvious my post went straight over your head... Go read it again, but slower. ?
Collete sent $1 to you with the message: you clearly are one of the dumbest people in the forums good work
So let me get this straight...
Britain colonise, then enslave and trade, then virtue signal by ending slave ownership and saying they abolished slavery. They still colonise and enslave after that.
Then when these facts are put on the table you refer to the Britannica. The encyclopedia with the most errors of any other book ever written.
Written by the same Britain...
