Why do people think the slave trade was racist and whites are to blame?

They did this to entertain whites (jews were not considered white back then) and to gain power by sucking up to the racists of that time. A classic example of the oppressed becoming the oppressor.

Yep, pervading powers over mankind have always done this. The money exchangers have bankrolled every war on the planet. Jesus kicked out the law makers, the money exchangers and the Pharisees.

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.

All nations and cultures are founded on the pursuit of wealth and ideologically driven treacherous conquest; also it can be said in an act of self-preservation in the pursuit of surreptitiously acquiring false pervasive power over others. Original tribes/peoples of what is now the united states were subdued, subjugated and rendered servitude by the sword the gun and monotheism. They were then enslaved to work for prime markets rendered dependable to capitalism, (Or they were killed by acts of genocide and civil war) The likes of Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) and Sir Walter Raleigh (1554-1618) (Raleigh was a soldier, courtier, spy, and explorer to Elizabeth I, and the Spanish and Portuguese in South America who murdered and stole all the gold, spread of monotheistic Catholicism and capitalism which is why people are now deluded and identifying with materialism/objects of wealth (Man becomes a false God), robbery and murder in 1494 which went on for 400 years.

On October 12, 1492 (the first day he encountered the native people of the Americas), Columbus wrote in his journal: "They should be good servants .... I, our Lord being pleased, will take hence, at the time of my departure, six natives for your Highnesses." These captives were later paraded through the streets of Barcelona and Seville when Columbus returned to Spain. From his very first contact with native people, Columbus had their domination in mind.

For example, on October 14, 1492, Columbus wrote in his journal, "with fifty men they can all be subjugated and made to do what is required of them." These were not mere words: after his second voyage, Columbus sent back a consignment of natives to be sold as slaves. http://www.understandingprejudice.org/na...
