I always wonder about the class privilege of people who talk about ideology and give a pass to capitalism.

“Slavery was not born of racism: rather, racism was the consequence of slavery.” —Eric Williams

As for the ideology that allowed slavery to flourish, what was the ideology that resulted in Mansa Musa taking 12,000 slaves on his haj to Mecca?

I completely agree race is not real. That's why I oppose everyone who promotes the idea.
