Asking for a friend.

Say all of world history up until the Slave Trade is 100% the same except one difference - People from Africa are white and share the same qualities as Europeans as far as facial structure, stature, etc go

Considering throughout history there's been many, MANY instances of white slaves, I would say yes.

Yes but the religious excuses at least as far as christianity is concerned wouldn't be there so the trade wouldn'thave lasted as long.

yes, but still humanized for the most part.

edit: maybe I misunderstood the question. they wouldn't STILL be enslaved today, but they'd definitely have gotten enslaved at some point in history.

I don't think so, at least not in the same manner. The main thing for black people was that they could "justify" dehumanizing them by their skin color. I'm sure they might still have seen them as "uncivilized" enough to profit off them in some capacity, but I don't think things would have developed in the same way.

Nope. There's a reason why whites had the pretense of indentured servitude while africans were in bondage since birth.

LOL, lemme guess your under 18 or live with your parents?

My actual Answer to the topic is yeah of course. Who actually "enslaved" the "slaves" and then sold them? Don't worry I'll be around for the answer.

Yes, the only difference would be the lack of skin color as an excuse. It'd probably be more class based if anything.
