It's more than just slavery.
I've lately begun to watch a number of old movies from the 40's and 50's.
Kind of a nostalgia thing to see the old clothing styles, furniture, cars, etc. It brings back memories of my childhood. But whenever there is black person depicted in one of them I have to turn my eyes away. It makes me cringe to see the types of roles they got back then. It's embarrassing to watch. Try it sometime. See how racist our society was in a time that is still well within the memory of many of us.
