Gerald Horne: Slavery, White Supremacy, & The Roots Of Settler Colonialism

Did racism and white supremacy arise as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade in the 17th century, or did these concepts exist prior to the mass enslavement of Africans and the genocide of the indigenous peoples on what is now called America? What came first: the logic of white supremacy, or the economic logic of enslaving millions of people to work the plantations of settler colonies in the "New World?" Dr. Gerald Horne, historian and prolific author, attempts to answer these questions in this segment.
