100stars, Really. Were you around during slavery?
You talk as though you were around for slavery, yet I doubt you were even around for the holocaust. So why is your “knowledge” anymore realiable then the person you asked this question of?
Let’s set one item straight. Blacks were sold into slavery by other blacks. These black slaves faced either death at the hands of their enemy tribes or a life of slavery.
As slavery became more lucrative then people were kidnapped for the sole purpose of slavery, by both black and whites, but still predominately blacks. Many whites did not want to venture to far from the port cities as it was not safe.
The inhumane packing of slaves into a ship’s cargo area really didn’t start until after America had outlawed the importation of slaves. This was because they were smuggling in contraband, much like the drug trade today.
The holocaust on the other hand was nothing more than pure hatred.
I think while there may be some pverlapping simialities, it is like comparing apples to oranges. They are both fruits but are nothing like each other.
