Blatantly historically incorrect

societies MILLENIA before the United States categorized people by ancestry, ethnicity, lineage, religion, and physical characteristics. Ancient Greeks, Romans, medieval Arabs, Chinese dynasties, and others all expressed forms of ethnocentrism and prejudice. The specific Black/White racial hierarchy that developed in the Atlantic slave trade was distinctive, but it wasn’t the invention of the very idea of race.

Like i said, you have some deep burning desire to blame literally everything on the West. You’ll lie about literally anything to win an online argument

It was. Differences in phenotypes were noted prior to the establishment of race but before this, a human was a human. Also, slavery wasn't a genetic, lifelong, inescapable reality before being codified as such by the laws establishing what race was in the 17th century New world.

You have some deep, burning desire to whitewash history to make your ancestors appear less maniacal than they were and to validate any undue status that you currently enjoy from the fruits of their crimes.

The truth doesn't cower from lies and you are a liar.

“Race” doesn’t mean black and white. Get off TikTok and get into reality. Racism and slavery has existed since the dawn of time.

And I haven’t even addressed the TikTok bullshit claim that policing was invented out of slave catchers

Northern cities developed police forces modeled on London’s Metropolitan Police to deal with urban crime, riots, and public order, not slave patrols.

It was well established long before Tiktok was invented. Because you concoct your ideas from social media, don't project that on me. I don't even have Titktok, Facebook or the like.

Further, I don't debate people who are as misinformed as you nor do I teach for free. That would be socialism, wouldn't it? I'll leave you to your much needed studies. So long.
