Serious question
Why were blacks the only race majorly enslaved?
Now I know Turks enslaved some Balkans and Indians enslaved themselves but why were black the main slaves?
The British never took Indians as their slaves, nor did they take Asians even though they could out match them militarily.
They're naturally submissive. No, not in an obedient puppy kind of way.
Think carrot on a stick.

Blacks were the dumbest race.
Asians and even Indians would have put up a decent fight and even after being enslaved they would have cunning escape plans. They would be much too dangerous.

Good question. Europeans enslaved Africans. The Arabs enslaved Africans.
Because disease wiped out native populations in North America and the Spanish and Portuguese needed labor for the sugar plantations. This was a massive enterprise, since the Spanish and Portuguese colonies were responsible for practically the ENTIRE planets sugar supply until the late 1700's. Almost 2 centuries.
Labor had to be gotten from somewhere, and since the Spanish and Portuguese colonies were restricted solely to Spanish and Portuguese, they did not allow immigrants from any other state. Neither state however had the population to support the economic enterprise, so they turned to slavery. And since neither country had the military power to enslave other Europeans or Asians, that left Africans.
They were already slaves in africa, black tribes sold other tribes

Slavery in the British Colonies as an aggregated accounted only for about 10% of the total, and if you were sent to North America rather then South America, you were a lucky nigger.

The old English word for slave is "thrall".
Slavic people were enslaved so much that "Slav" and "thrall" became completely interchangeable and slave eventually replaced the old English entirely.
Niggers aren't the only people who have been enslaved in great numbers. They are just the only people who were never able to get their shit together once free
Actually that would be the asians

The Brits made slaves of their own people. I had a 6x great grandfather that was sold into slavery after the Monmouth Rebellion and sent to Barbados. Not being a dumb Nigger, he could read and write so eventually earned his freedom and made his way back to Devon, where he bought himself a whole bunch of dumb niggers and lived happily ever after.

Slav comes from Slava which means glory in all Slavic languages.
The Balkans were insaved by Turks and made into elite slave armies. In the Ottoman Empire White Slaves were also very expensive compared to the much cheaper black slaves.
Also who can forget the famous Irish slave trade, when the British enslaved tens of thousands of Irish people.

No, Slav comes from slovo, 'word', i.e. 'people of the word', people who can speak an intelligible language. Obviously contrasting with 'nemets' 'nemec' etc for Germanic speakers, deriving from the word for 'mute, dumb.'
Slava, however, does derive from the same root as slovo.
