Some notes:
In most Latin American countries blacks did not become elevated to a different "nationality"/culture as it were. They still remain part of the nation of which they are citizens. For example, in some videos I have seen here a gentleman used the term- my people, my race, things like that. He did not mean my people as
Americans which is what it should have been.
This would not be common in Latin America. A Black person from Latin America, when talking about "my people" would be talking about Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, etc. In this lies the core difference between Latin and Anglo world.
Also, while giving links, it would be nice if you gave a gist of what is there. You know, most people are busy making a living so it would really help if you provided a summary rather than asking people to go and research.
Making a strong statement such as "Europeans ( and Jews) invented racism" would need to be backed up by some info. And also where do you mean they invented it? If you talk about the USA with its overemphasis of the importance of ethnicity, then I would probably say, well, yes. You are right to a point. The founding fathers were very race conscious and tried to divide people into whites and non whites. Jews were non whites initially but as they gained power they moved from being people of Semitic race as late as 1950ies to white race.
But these are all US/Anglo/and particularly new world/recent categories. In Europe, over thousands of years, no one used the term white vs non white. In Russia, for example, at least when I lived there, these categories did not exist. They did not classify people by color. They would classify them by ethnicity- Uzbek, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Russian, etc. Then they would discriminate based on that. So, the American taxonomy did not exist there. No person there thought of himself as "white", for example. In most E. Euro countries people do not wake up in the morning and say "I'm a white boy". They did not invent the racism that you are talking about. The Jews most of whom lived there were considered by the people as non Europeans, along with Gypsies- an Asiatic population, that is. The Jews were expelled from Europe particularly because of that. An alien element. Non Aryans, non Europeans. And while a Jew
to you is a white, and European, to a European he/she is not.
Researching about it in English may be hard. It would be much easier if you were in a location in Europe, particularly E/Central Europe talking to people in their languages to see how they feel about Jews and what they consider them to be. I have the advantage of having heard what people say and having read what they write in their encyclopedias in their native tongues.
The only thing I can think about that gets close to the invention of racism would be physical anthropology. And possibly some Nazi theorizers of the past. Also, the Brits did come up with something like that in the past.
But the majority of Europeans had other things on their minds- hating, killing and enslaving each other and calling each other by one racial epithet after another. For millennia.
Africans were the farthest thing from their mind until the colonization of Americas began and the colonial elite ( not the European populace) faced labor shortage in the Americas so they started getting slaves from the cheapest place they could. And the people you may call Europeans and Whites did not walk around Europe saying- "we are whites, we are superior, let's go get them blacks, the inferiors, and the browns and the yellows, those lowest forms of life". Most people in Europe were poor peasants attached to their feudal lord in much the same way slaves were attached to the master in the US. Most Jews again were poor, mostly tradesmen, ragmen, goldsmiths, etc. And yes, there were some rich Jews, but what? a few tens? out of millions? So, see the picture is never black and white ( pun intended)
Just take a look at what most people looked like and tell me if these are white supremacists
Trust me these were too busy getting the harvest gathered and keeping the Turks away. They had never seen a black person in their lives.
And now for the Jews. Most looked like this and were busy reading the Torah and keeping the pogromists out of the villages. Most were non citizens as you need to be a Christian to be a citizen, and were subject to being expelled and evicted at any time ( in the countries of their birth). The last thing on their mind in thier little tailor shop was sitting down and inventing racism against blacks.
These did not invent the
racism you are talking about. In their book there is a mistrust against goyim/gentiles, but nothing is said there against blacks.
And these are serfs in Europe. Millions of people. Do they look like white dominators to you?
In the period of colonization, slaves from Africa were not alone used for cheap labor. There were indentured servants from Europe-- only half of them survived, btw-, there were slaves from Malaya, too. There were Indian coolies. So, while blacks were in the majority, I think the reasons were they provided the cheapest labor and could be obtained easier.
Bringing in a bunch of Italians to the New World was more expensive. So, it was not a thing based on " enslaving another race", it was based on simple labor costs and profit margins. When slavery was abolished, they simply switched to wage slavery and taking advantage of wars in Europe to bring in more cheap labor. White, non white, did not matter. They brought in Poles and Italians and Czechs, and Greeks, etc.
Incidentally, Africans also do not wake up in the morning saying "I am black, I am black". They think of themselves in terms of the tribe they belong to. And these tribes do not always get along. The epithets they use against each other often include the words "monkeys", and "apes" and they fight and hate each other. It is basically the same evil as the American racism. It is just that there it is called tribalism. And it has existed for a million years. Again, you would need to live in Africa and see it. It would also help to speak local languages to understand what they are saying.
As far as Africa lagging behind because of European colonialism, I would like to know your opinion why Asia a lot of which was colonized is not lagging behind. India and Malaysia were raped by Britain but these are developing at a very fast rate now. Indonesia is a powerhouse now, too.
Oh, and you consider the people of Carthage as Africans? Hmmm, they were basically just Lebanese-type people weren't they?
