Did Whitey Invent Racism Based Slavery?

[super]

Liberal bullshit teaching. Blame it on whitey

Seriously, even if that was invented by whitey, how can you not know that slavery existed well before 300-400 years? It is simply impossible to not know that... I mean that was even depicted in many hollywood movies or even Tv shows.

RANDOM example of slavery way more than 400 years ago:
Slavery in medieval Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How can a "history major" not know that? Unbelievable...

Like I said in another post.. she doesn't think we invented slavery itself, she only thought we invented racism-based slavery. That's actually what is being taught in schools. She knows very well that slavery existed probably since the dawn of man. I just can't see how she thought racism plus slavery didn't exist.

But I do think there are probably many who do actually think slavery itself is a recent thing though, invented by whitey.

Define slavery.

The obvious one would be the Nazis and Jews. Most people just call it genocide, but I'd say forced labor in concentration camps constitutes slavery.

For another example, Thais are racist towards Burmese and Cambodians, and I would say the treatment of them is pretty much institutionalized slavery. ID gets confiscated, they're forced to live in squalor at the construction site, and work 16 hour days for almost no money. Is that slavery?

How about Indonesian and Filippino maids who find themselves stuck in placed like Malaysia. Again, ID is confiscated, they're never given a day off, many of them get beat & raped, they get locked into literally a jail cell at night, etc. It's called employment, but that somewhat seems like borderline slavery to me.
