Racism is nothing but a scam

[smallStops]

Historically, when did racism started ?
For those who were raised innto studying ancient classic Greek and Latin, it is difficult to find any notions of racism in Greek or Roman antiquity.

So can each one put here an hypothesis of when racism started ?

Probably the first time one tribe of neanderthals or early men encountered another that didn't look like they did.

Probably : we can't check. So let's search for the earliest moment we can
find proof of. Let just get to the earliest we can find evidence of.
Clearly, in Antique Rome and Greece, racism did not exist.

What are you, insane? There was no racism in Ancient Rome???

this seems like the set up for the old leftist/socialist canard... "racism was started by the slave trade in america or capitalism."


racism existed long before the american slave trade and it still exists in places all over the world.

I have read that Albinos have been discriminated against since the beginning.

The Historical Origins and Development of Racism

Racism exists when one ethnic group or historical collectivity dominates, excludes, or seeks to eliminate another on the basis of differences that it believes are hereditary and unalterable. An ideological basis for explicit racism came to a unique fruition in the West during the modern period. No clear and unequivocal evidence of racism has been found in other cultures or in Europe before the Middle Ages. The identification of the Jews with the devil and witchcraft in the popular mind of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries was perhaps the first sign of a racist view of the world. Official sanction for such attitudes came in sixteenth century Spain when Jews who had converted to Christianity and their descendents became the victims of a pattern of discrimination and exclusion.

The period of the Renaissance and Reformation was also the time when Europeans were coming into increasing contact with people of darker pigmentation in Africa, Asia, and the Americas and were making judgments about them. The official rationale for enslaving Africans was that they were heathens, but slave traders and slave owners sometimes interpreted a passage in the book of Genesis as their justification. Ham, they maintained, committed a sin against his father Noah that condemned his supposedly black descendants to be "servants unto servants." When Virginia decreed in 1667 that converted slaves could be kept in bondage, not because they were actual heathens but because they had heathen ancestry, the justification for black servitude was thus changed from religious status to something approaching race. Beginning in the late seventeenth century laws were also passed in English North America forbidding marriage between whites and blacks and discriminating against the mixed offspring of informal liaisons. Without clearly saying so, such laws implied that blacks were unalterably alien and inferior.

No need to read any further, southerners created racism. No wonder why the Southern Strategy works so well.

Antiquity is a bit different than Ancient.

Between 1 million and 1.25 million Europeans were captured by Barbary pirates and sold as slaves in North Africa and Ottoman Empire between the 16th and 19th centuries.

I just posted this for the humor of it; that southerners were the creators of racism.
