The Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, British and a number of West African kingdoms played a prominent role in the Atlantic slave trade, especially after 1600.

Brazil had (and still has) glaring problems with race differences. But at least since the late XIXth century, intelectuality was not a white-only phenomena. Machado de Assis is our most known writer. And the guy was black. Nilo Peçanha was a black oligarch and a president in the Old Republic period (oh how much I cry after saying of this period...).

Evidences of slavery antedate written records; the practice has existed in many[13] if not most cultures.[14] Mass slavery requires economic surpluses and a high population-density to be viable.[15] Due to these factors, the practice of slavery would have only proliferated after the invention of agriculture during the Neolithic Revolution, about 11,000 years ago.[16][failed verification] Slavery occurred in civilizations as old as Sumer, as well as in almost every other ancient civilization, including ancient Egypt, ancient China, the Akkadian Empire, Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, ancient Greece, ancient India, the Roman Empire, the Arab Islamic Caliphate and Sultanate, Nubia and the pre-Columbian civilizations of the Americas.[17] Ancient slavery represents a mixture of debt-slavery, punishment for crime, the enslavement of prisoners of war, child abandonment, and the birth of slave children to slaves.[18] Wikiiiiiii

A lot of the US sadly does. Here in Germany there are things called "Stolperstein". They're stones on the ground leveled higher than over stones. You (Stolpern) stumble over them. Those stones have the names of those who suffered due to or even died due to the holocaust . You come across them in most cities in Germany.. It took Germany 1 decade to put in place those memoirs. There are larger landmarks to remind Germany of their history all around as well...The US to this day still barely acknowledges what happened. And there are barely any landmarks that remind the US of this history explicitly. And it's been over 200 years. People still fucking get married on former plantations.
