The British Museum tries to counter an ugly truth long captured in Western art.
...
Objectively speaking, the “Slave Market” painting in question portrays a reality that has played out countless times over the centuries: African and Middle Eastern Muslims have long targeted European women—so much so as to have enslaved millions of them over the centuries.
The Muslim demand for, in the words of one historian, “white-complexioned blondes, with straight hair and blue eyes,” traces back to the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, who enticed his followers to wage jihad against neighboring Byzantium by citing its blonde (“yellow”) women awaiting them as potential concubines.
For over a millennium afterwards, Islamic caliphates

Indeed, the insatiable demand for fair women was such that.. impossible to disconnect Islam from the Viking slave-trade... for the prized .. white sex-slaves.
..
between 1530 and 1780 [alone] there were .. a million and a quarter white, European Christians enslaved by the Muslims of the Barbary Coast .. North Africa, .. By 1541, “Algiers teemed with Christian captives [from Europe], and it became a common saying that a Christian slave was scarce a fair barter for an onion.”
With countless sexually enslaved European women—some seized from as far as Denmark, Iceland, and even Iceland—selling for the price of vegetables, little wonder that European observers by the late 1700s noted how “the inhabitants of Algiers have a rather white complexion.”

Eastern Europeans; the slave markets of the Ottoman sultanate were for centuries so inundated with Slavic flesh that children sold for pennies, “a very beautiful slave woman was exchanged for a pair of boots, and four Serbian slaves were traded for a horse.” In Crimea, some three million Slavs were enslaved by the Ottomans’ Muslim allies, the Tatars. “The youngest women are kept for wanton pleasures,”

Resistance is racism.
Which still continues to this day.
When do I get my reparations from Mongolia and Rome?
Museum collections have been weaponized to decry the culture and the donors.
I always find it amazing how many Americans have no idea at all that millions of Europeans were taken as slaves by North Africans and Ottoman Turks (not to mention the earlier enslavement of Europeans by other Europeans). Whites have a very long history of being slaves.
Heck, many Americans don’t even know there was slavery in Latin America, much less that it was on a larger scale than slavery in the United States. Most Americans really are fixated just on slavery in the US, as if it were somehow unprecedented.
We cannot help people like that. Ultimately they'll get their wish, viz. to be awash in the filth of the world and then, conquered. That's when they'll see their mistake.
Western elites don’t like to talk about this history because they want in on it. They have more power than Muslims, after all, so they should have even more slaves. Epstein was only the tiniest visible example.
The author leave out suicide murdering and jihadi murdering?
Liberalism feeds on false axioms. The liberals will never realize their error because they will blame someone elese for their suicide.
...and African slaves in Arabia, South America (Brazil, etc.), Caribbean ...
our system of education run by leftists… it intentionally leaves our youngsters ignorant in history, science, geography, literature…. leaving them uninformed…leaving them uncurious … leaving them without analytical skills… - thus, ready for indoctrination and brainwashing propaganda
According to the liberal narrative, Robert E. Lee hisself sailed to Africa and captured the natives and brought them to Birmingham as slaves.

Check out Dr. Bill Warner on Youtube. Explains a lot.

Slave or Slav stood for white slave from eastern Europe. Seems ridiculous to attack whites over slavery. This half slav just shakes his head. At any rate, I suspect that white hatred coincides with the return of the Glacial. It means we whites are going Viking soon !
Most Americans don’t know that there were thousands of blacks in this country who owned slaves.
One survivor’s story became a hit book, Ravished Armenia, that was then turned into a silent film. Aurora Mardiganian had made it to Ellis Island in 1917 following the deaths of her mother, father, brother, and sisters. British authorities allowed showing of the film in their country only after producers deleted a scene of Armenian women being crucified—but the story behind that scene shows how today’s Islamic State is not setting the record for barbarism.
Mardiganian acknowledged that the scene, which showed the women crucified on large crosses with their long hair covering their nude bodies, was inauthentic. She said, “The Turks didn’t make their crosses like that. The Turks made little pointed crosses. They took the clothes off the girls. They made them bend down. And after raping them, they made them sit on the pointed wood, through the vagina. That’s the way they killed.”
She said Americans had made a more civilized movie: “They can’t show such terrible things.”
