The slave trade justified slavery by developing racist beliefs to justify their self-interest and greed. European investors enslaved people through the Transatlantic slave trade to support the massive tobacco, sugar, and cotton industries in the Americas. Slavery was cheaper than indentured servitude, so slavery was a business decision, not a reflection of hatred or bigotry.
Chesapeake, which grew tobacco, provides a good example. For a while, land owners used indentured servants, most of whom were young men who signed a 4-7 year contract. Servants were exploited during their contract, but after their time was over, they were free. The first Africans, some of whom worked as indentured servants, likely arrived in 1619. However, by the 1660s, the number of indentured servants from Europe dwindled, so tobacco plantation owners began to rely on slavery to raise profits. What could justify the ownership of other humans? Defenders of slavery had a list of racist reasons, saying that slavery was part of God’s plan, it "civilized" Black people, and that some races were so inferior they were meant to be slaves.
But I also agree with @MarcosZeitola and his interpretation of this. Movements like the BLM are not truly about equality or fighting racial hatred etc. It's all a means to both make money and cause further division. So I'm not on board with BLM. Even my girlfriend thinks this movement is bullshit. She said when she was at school they used to talk about slavery and black history month all the time and it just made black kids and white kids hostile towards each other.
Good post! I'm pretty sure that's all right, based on what I have read about the subject.
Also read the Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews volume I to see the proof of jewish guilt in their extensive involvement in the slave trade. As the black scholars who compiled it said:
The techniques of dehumanization to justify enslavement you mentioned was also used by the jews on the Irish:"Deep within the recesses of the Jewish historical record is the irrefutable evidence that the most prominent of the Jewish pilgram fathers used kidnapped Black Africans disproportionately more than any other ethnic or religious group in New World history and participated in every aspect of the international slave trade. The immense wealth of Jews, as with most of the white colonial fathers, was acquired by the brutal subjugation of Black Africans..."
The jews caused the Irish famine and then enslaved lots of white Irish and then published hateful propaganda to dehumanize their Irish victims in order to justify enslaving them.
I don't remember if the NOIRG included this fact in their excellent book or not, but another observation is that it was that kike Las Casas who originally suggested black and white slaves be used as the labor force in the Caribbean plantations to replace the Taino. That was supposedly suggested as a relief effort for the benefit of the Taino who were indeed being brutally mistreated by the evil Spaniards, but then this jew's solution is mass enslavement of blacks? That shows you what kind of supposed savior of blacks and "people of color" jews tend to be in reality.
