No, I'm serious. And I'm talking about pre America America, and really Cuba and what is now the Dominican republic
before plantation agriculture, there was no need for labor on such a mass scale
don't get me wrong, slaves existed, but the system was based on class, the way it is today, under the surface
to base it on race, required making people believe that blacks were inferior to whites, both to justify it for themselves and to placate the slaves themselves
so an institutional organized effort was undertaken to cast the black man as an inferior
before this, things were not this way
