No White New World Colonist Ever Enslaved a Black African

Paul Craig Roberts

Identity politics, political correctness, virtue signaling, and wokeism have broken down intellectual integrity and scholarly standards in the academic world.  Scholarship now exists in attenuated forms that serve ideological purposes, not factual ones.  In short, “scholars” have come to serve ideological agendas, not truth.  Even mathematics and science have been corrupted. Recently, Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran had to reject 41% of the mathematics  texts for Florida’s K-12 curriculum because they contained critical race theory and other propaganda used to indoctrinate students.  

History, especially US history, has suffered terribly from the proliferation of anti-American propaganda masquerading as legitimate history. An example is the “1619 Project” that concludes that the United States originated in racism. A spinoff from this “history” is something called the “New History of American Capitalism” which argues that capitalism’s existence was dependent on slavery.  The impression one gets is that slavery is an American phenomenon for which reparations must be paid. 

Legitimate historians at the risk of being labeled “apologists for racism” have skewered the fanciful claims, but they as well as the proponents of the new history overlook the basic fact that no white colonist in the New World ever enslaved a black African.  The black Africans were enslaved prior to their arrival in the New World.  They arrived as slaves.  They were enslaved by other blacks.  Some of them were warriors captured in slave wars while trying to enslave other blacks.  

The black kingdom of Dahomey was the principle enslaver of the time.  The kingdom raided other blacks for slaves and sold the surplus. This history has been well documented, but it is not part of “black studies,” the “1619 Project,” or the “New History of American Capitalism.”.....read more.............
