zinn is not what i would call class essentialist, which you would know if you read occasionally
I'll rephrase what i wrote here because it wasn't articulate

im saying those instances were way more likely in the new world compared to even antiquity. scientific racism was far more woven into the cultural logic and later the legal logic of the european new world than it was for preceding globe spanning empires, like say the mongols or ottomans or whatever.

it's not a uniquely american contrivance but it seems to have become a lot more pernicious, ubiquitous and a lot more explicitly anti-black by the late 18th century. at some point white supremacy did take on a distinctly american characteristic though
what I meant was that scientific racism and specifically anti-black white supremacy was deeply influential on american society and culture, as well as early american jurisprudence compared to any comparable societies at the time.

American society was distinctly anti-black beginning in the 18th century until the mid 20th century. If you want me to read something besides Howard Zinn that complicates that then I definitely will try.

Eh just look at Virginia's ghoulish chief dem. The dems being anemic where they are is because they are extremely good at suppressing the left in those areas. The ridiculous Florida dems as well. The turgid corpse of the party on the state level is a literal dam on left activism making electoral inroads
VA dems are very successful electorally. if by anemic you mean they're neocons and finance/military industrial complex stooges who started winning races by running as Democats ssinceice 2008 in which case yeah theyre anemic. but that's hardly a deal breaker for a lot of the people who vote democrat in VA
