In his documentation of the Spanish conquest Bartholome Las Casas states that he believes that Africans are more "constitutionally fit" to be slaves than any other race. I believe that this contributed to establishing a hegemony were the rest of the world began to believe that Africans main reason to be alive was for slave labor. This then lead to the world not looking at Africans as human but property. It is just amazes me that opinions of very few people and their actions could influence so many nations and lead to the enslavement of a particular race of people for 100 years or more. It also sad to know that people like that and felt that they had the audacity over others.
