Subjugation existed from old times. The thriving of Athens and Rome laid on the work of slaves. Besides, white Europeans did not straightforwardly oppress African blacks - they just purchased dark Africans who had as of now been subjugated by other dark Africans. It has been a malignant establishment doing a reversal into pre-history. Scripturally, the Jews were slaves of Pharaoh. Slaves constructed the Pyramids. Scheherazade was a slave of Haroun al-Rashid. Tunisian kitchen looters were paddled by slaves fastened to the paddles.
