Thanks for you thoughtful essay on white supremacy as it pertains to the Black world. There is no valid excuse for what non-black world did to rape, enslave, and conquer the African continent. But I must point to the word "supremacy" as a key to understanding a different history. We should not fool ourselves into thinking the worst of human nature would not take place in the African based world and their descendants. Unfortunately, human nature turns everyone of the species into aggressive, territorial, and dominating individuals with an instinct to dominate, rule, enslave, and take what they can with all the power they can amass. History proves that skin color, race, religion, cultural background, or language has ever stopped those who want to gain territory, resources, wealth, and free labor with the gun and not by hard work and genius. No one of our species is immune.
