I didn't say that they were not Caucasians which is a broad category
including Europeans, Western Asians and North Africans. In fact, the term
Caucasian refers to people from the Caucasus which is in an area called Asia
Minor. It was used as an example or typical of a person of this broad
"race"
called Caucasians. Just as Mongol is used for people from central asia to
the far East. But when most people use the term "white" in a pejorative
maner they always mean Europeans, particularly westen Europeans.

Most Negro slaves were taken from west Africa and brought to the Americas on
ships owned by European corporations. It's not the sailors who actually
transported them that matter but the people who financed it and who owned
the ships.Slavery in what is now the US accounted for about 10% of the
slaves. Most were on small farms or just used as servants. A plantation with
200 slaves was considered very large. But 90% were taken to the West Indies,
Jamaica, Brazil, Cuba, Haiti etc etc These plantations sometimes had 5,000
slaves each, were owned by European corporations and operated as big
businesses. So it is the people behind the businesses who financed them that
really controlled slavery, like the Jewish investors and speculators of
London and Amsterdam.
