So were mine and most black people. It's just a natural consequence of having white in you lol. Many white people and mixed people are very much not racist though. Having slave owner in your blood doesn't really mean anything.

Right, except the slave trade helped build the African nation of Dahomey, under the rule of king Ghezo, who is known for saying:
"The slave trade is the ruling principle of my people. It is the source and glory of their wealth. The mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery"
And during the height of the transatlantic slave trade, he bitterly fought British efforts to block and dismantle the slave trade.
So slavery was never about the color of their skin, it was about oppression. The most notable example being the fact that the word 'Slave' originates from the word "Slav" meaning the Slavic people, or the original slave race.
By the way, you're pretty racist dude. As evident from your predisposition against white people. Disgusting.

very true especially in South Carolina. question was this common in Brazil? FAR more black slaves were in Brazil than in america. (however Brazil is not as race obsessed as america. for example portugese men commonly fathered mulatto sons from relationships with black women)

i am told that in islam that the men are allowed to take prisoners in war and keep them as slave for sex and labor purposes.
Allah(swt) is good to muslims, i make dua that he remembers to count my good deeds.
alhamdullilah.

Islam is right about everything, especially women.
