It started with the Egyptians, but continued through the\nempires of Babylon, Medio\/Persia, Greece and Rome. Until after WW2, the Jews\nwere scattered throughout the world, a people without a land, outcasts virtually\neverywhere they went. And we all know what Hitler and the Nazi\u2019s did to them. <\/p><p>The Jews are just one example. Arab cultures were taking\nslaves from Africa as early as the Middle Ages. In the 14<sup>th<\/sup> Century\nNorth Africa was one of several sources for slave labor in Europe. Then, in the\n15<sup>th<\/sup> Century Africans began selling Africans to European nations.\nThus began roughly 400 years of African slave trade that spilled over into the\nAmerican continent. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.historyworld.net\/wrldhis\/plaintexthistories.asp?historyid=ac41\">http:\/\/www.historyworld.net\/wrldhis\/plaintexthistories.asp?historyid=ac41<\/a><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-free-the-slaves\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.freetheslaves.net\/about-slavery\/slavery-in-history\/\n<\/div><\/figure><p><strong>Claim: <\/strong>\u201cI have seen facts and statistics from sources\nI trust, that demonstrate a built-in set of standards that favor white citizens\nover black citizens.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wealth Gap: <\/li><\/ul><p>\u201cThe average black household has 1\/10th the wealth of the\naverage white household.
