Agreed. Time to avoid escapist scapegoats.
Also a factor as to why black slaves were numerous: because the culture of enslaving/selling losing war tribes for profit was already rife.
Good observation. So, what would you advise of someone who experiences racism whether from the fellow Africans, coloreds, white etc? Should they accept and move on because the Africans are the worst racists? No one should accept racism from anyone, whatsoever unless you are in an officially restricted area and hence breaking the law by trespassing.
I first read this in Wazua somewhere, and caught up with the book later, about a Jewish prisoner of war at a Nazi concentration camp. He learnt, with nothing left to live for, save for the 'meaning of life', that German masters were not necessarily bad nor Jewish prisoners automatically good. And surmised:
The are two races of men in this world, the 'race' of the decent man and the 'race' of the indecent man. Viktor Frankl
The answer in my view is decency:
- it is decent for a Guest to leave a generous tip for a waiter who has a back-breaking shift in a tough job
- it is decent for a Waiter to serve even the most difficult guest well regardless of appreciation
- it is decent for a Guest to overlook a slight when it comes from a young prejudiced waiter
- it is decent for a Waiter to accept correction when they realise their bias
