Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It is not politically correct to point out that African tribes sold each other into slavery. It is not politically correct to point out that Middle-Eastern people enslaved each other and Africans long before Caucasians. It is also not widely talked about that Europeans enslaved other Europeans in Europe and the Americas before they enslaved Africans. Native Americans have been so raped, tortured, and slaughtered by Caucasians we could not possibly point out that they enslaved people from rival tribes. It's all about politics and what we perceive as being the right thing to do in the modern world. |
