The author defines racism to be "the ideology of exclusion or separation of people because of the color of their skin." This separation was very prominent during the transatlantic trade because so many countries, including those of Africa, were involved in racism, by engaging in slave trading.
One of the points that the author is trying to make is not a new phenomenon; it has been going on for centuries. The ironic thing is that those folk that were slave keepers, were to be enslaved themselves, though the two forms of slavery are incomparable. One form is the torturing of a human being, which was practiced by the Europeans, while the other form, a simpler and less brutal one, was practiced by the Africans.
