The root of racism?

Slavery has started since the beginning of time. One of the most infamous cases of slavery which happened in Africa was the Transatlantic slavery in the 15th century. As mentioned previously in the last post, the introduction of AIDS/HIV is one of the effects impacted to the Africa region and the rest of the world, most probably due to the Transatlantic Slavery.

So what is the Transatlantic Slave Trade and what are some of the hard truths about it that we are not aware of?

Maybe this can help.




All in all, the Slave Trade has brought upon massive injustice to the people till this day. It has led us to believe in the concept of racial biasness from one skin color to the other, which might have eventually create issues like this we see today, especially in the States.

Perhaps we might think that at least the practice of slavery no longer exist....WRONG!!
On the contrary, we have now replaced the term slavery into a modern phrase.




And what about the other type of 'modern slaves'? Not in the sense of being trafficked illegally but still facing the same abuse and torments we associate with slaves.

Such is the case which happened in Singapore.

Just like civilization, slavery still prospers and flourishes in some corners of the world through time.
If we were to sever the chains of supply and demands of human capital, perhaps we are able to cut the ties and practices of slavery especially in this modern times.
