The body you exist in does not make you who you are, You are the ideals and behaviors you accept as reality and practice. The enslavement of African/ Black people was not as a result of the whips and chains, those were tools of control. The enslavement of this group of people happened because their captors were able to break them generationally and have them accept that they were somehow something different that their root anthropological culturing.

 What we call Slavery, is more efficiently defined as Global ideological colonization and the enforcement of nationalistic principles and religious/social re-culturing of those colonized.
