It's kinda depressing to see the downvote, again, because people don't know history
Slavery does not imply racism, it hasn't been the case for a very long time throughout history, slaves were a social class, a synonym for what we call "working class" or they were people from conquered lands, that were enslaved as a display of suoremacy, not because of their ethnicity.
They usually were of the same ethnicity.
Rome had emperors who were born in Africa (Settimio Severo for example)
Have the slaves suffered abuses?
Yes, of course, just like working class, and farmers and other poor classes before them, have been exploited.
French Revolution is all about that.
They were all French against other French.
Only in modern history slavery has been justified by racism (the theory that some "races" were superior to others) but it's not modern slavery that created racism, it's the opposite.
