Racism did not exist back then. They figured skin color was simply an effect of where you lived. Not a lot of really black people due to the Sahara desert separating people. Egypt is the one exception because you had movement on the Nile deep into Africa.

I suspect Islam played a big role in the birth of racism since it embraces slavery and makes Moslems believe they are superior to everyone else. In Arabic the word for black and slave is the same word. You won't see that on the wiki however, the first thing it does is blames Americans according to the leftist narrative.

>> Moslems believe they are superior to everyone else

Proficient plagiarizers too, but that might be just an Arab thing in general. Actually, a regional Asian thing. The Great Works... the great works of others...

Arabic numeral system... nonsense. Previously, the Hindus gave rise to the concept of zero which facilitated easier expressions comprising the glyphs 1..9

I don’t hold anything against the Arabs save the false claims. Islam is different matter — it’s a war plan.

Yes. muslims imported far more slaves into arabia than they ever did to the Americas.

No race problem in Saudi Arabia, though...
