The Invention of Racism
Why is it when people talk about racism, they somehow end up talking about slavery?
Well the main reason that those two topics often find themselves intertwined is because the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade (1526- 1856*) was horrific. People found that the capturing, brutalising and selling people to work in the worst possible conditions for economical gain just doesn't seem ethical. So to overcome this issue of morality 'race' as we understand it today was invented. That's right...race was invented in order to justify racism so that Europeans didn't need to feel bad gaining wealth in this way. That said, we are still dealing with the aftermath of the decisions made so long ago that sought to dehumanise people with darker skin tones. Which is why in 2021 we STILL need to work with people of all colours to ensure that black and brown people are treated fairly, with dignity and respect to make the world a better place. |
