Eh, it wasn’t so much white v black, it was much more extensive than that. There wasn’t any idea AFAIK of a ‘white’ identity anywhere in Europe up until Americans exported it. Even today there’s less of a ‘white’ idea than there is in the USA. People were just plainly more exclusive back then, religiously and in ethnicity. As well IIRC the whole racial inferiority more came with the empires and is relatively recent to better justify European supremacy [so the statement you made is incorrect IMO, but I agree that racism in America’s roots isn’t special].
I'm sure if you showed an African American to one of these they would say them "not equal".
