There was slavery before Portugal or feudalism were things. I’d wager slavery might even predate the homo sapien species and probably came soon after a species was able to communicate orders and threats.

ok, keep going, you’re almost there: if you follow that back to the Olduvai gorge, like you say, to the earliest humans - where were those hominids who were enslaving each other? come on, you can do it…

were they white people?

This idiotic statement:

Much people forget before black slavery there was white slavery… So its just good if there is none slavery.

Much people forget basic grammar too, apparently.

No, there’s always some idiot who has to bring up that some white people (maybe even their ancestors) were also slaves, so he shouldn’t have to XYZ. Or that people of color might have ancestors who enslaved each other, so XYZ. It’s all silly bullshit.

  I was just responding to what you said, not the overall line of argument. I was going to add stuff about not being able to determine the colour of those first slaves and it not really being relevant either way, but it felt like it was getting rambly so I cut it back to the main point.
