Racism is not inherited in DNA.it was the English who controlled the majority of the slave trade even taking slaves to Portuguese and Spanish, French and Dutch colonies and the English successors were the American Confederates who fought to keep slaves long after slavery was banned by the Spanish.Your post was erroneously blaming mostly the Spanish for the slave trade when the English/USA were far more pro-slavery.Funny how you left out the Portuguese, who were the biggest slave traders, and who ended slavery in Brazil after the U.S.A had.
I said Portuguese, and Spaniards took the majority of Black slaves, which is true, when looking at the combined totals the majority of Black slaves taken out of Europe were taken by these 2 Mediterranean nations.
According to Haak a leading geneticist, English are rather Mediterranean by DNA, anyways.
Are you suggesting that Colonialism was about "Racism" rather than "Greed"?
Keep in mind the Colonists were really somewhat Multiculturalist, they went to overtake Aborginal people, and bring in Black slaves.
Why?
For greed profits.
