Global racial oppression has been a pervasive issue in Black history, stemming from centuries of colonization, slavery, and systemic racism. The exploitation and dehumanization of Black people have been common themes across continents and cultures.

During the transatlantic slave trade, millions of Africans were forcibly taken from their homelands and transported to the Americas to be enslaved. This brutal system not only stripped individuals of their freedom and dignity but also perpetuated a system of racial hierarchy that continues to impact societies worldwide.

Colonialism further entrenched racial oppression as European powers subjugated and exploited African nations and people for economic gain. The legacy of colonial rule can still be seen in the social, economic, and political disparities faced by many Black communities in former colonies.

Even after the abolition of slavery and formal decolonization, racism and discrimination persist in various forms, including segregation, institutionalized racism, and systemic inequality. Black people have faced violence, discrimination, and marginalization in countries around the world, perpetuating a cycle of oppression and injustice.

While progress has been made in the fight against racial oppression, the legacy of centuries of exploitation and dehumanization continues to shape the experiences of Black people globally. It is essential to confront and address this history in order to create a more just and equitable future for all.
