Love how everyone here takes turns saying the same thing
Yup, people seem like they think it's required to point out things they don't like. As if someone would think you like swatting if you didn't.

The American slave trade didn't start because of some sense of racial superiority over africans then why did it start, then
that's where i'm kinda lost
In order to enslave a group of people, you must believe that you are superior to them. If those Africans they enslaved were all white instead, do you really think they would've treated them the exact same way?
If so, then what was exactly the justification for the enslavement?
If you want to be literal, it started in the 1619 when some pirates stole a Spanish ship that was carrying slaves and unloaded them at the nearest port (Jamestown, VA). America later joined the Triangular Trade, which vastly limited the "options" of slaves in the first place since Europe primarily stuck to the "trading" part instead of the "using" part. I feel it be a bit condescending to explain ancient slavery to you, so I'll skip ahead and say that, as part of the Triangular Trade, ships loaded people who were already enslaved. I'm not about to "blah blah Africans did the thing too", but it is import as a reference that it didn't really matter what color you were. If you were a slave, you were below. The French were the only colonists who didn't treat the Native Americans like shit, thinking that they were barbaric and subhuman. Despite that, English colonists never attempted to enslave them (just steal their land). Spanish tried to enslave them without enslaving them, but the crown got pissed and told them to cut that shit out. Tangent point: slaves weren't seen as subhuman because they were black, they were see as subhuman because they were slaves. That of course starts to twist over the next couple of centuries due to the seed of racism planted with the sole use of one race as slaves and the growing of misconceptions.

The hard part is that it really is a hard distinction to draw in words. Slavery was not a racial issue in and of itself, but it without a doubt greatly assisted in fostering racism. The idea of slavery was not racially based; even after the ban on slave importation went into effect, slavery was simply based on if your father was in bondage, not necessarily because of your ethnicity. This resulted in cases of "white" African-American slaves (through unfortunate cases of slave-rape most of the time) that were still slaves regardless of their skin color.
Now, would we have had the Jim Crow era without slavery? Most likely not. Racism would not have thrived so much without the institution of slavery having been in place. So it's fair to say that slavery is a part of the American history of racism, but not racist in and of itself.

Slavery itself wasn't racist
what
slavery itself isn't racist--sure, not in and of itself
but wasn't racist? as in, the american slave trade was not racist?
i'm pretty sure it was about as racist as you can get, actually
Feel like you're twisting the terminology there a little bit. The American slave trade didn't start because of some sense of racial superiority over africans, that false sense of superiority stemmed from the slave trade. The issue is thinking that the American slave trade was vastly different from any other slave trade that occured. The only differences are that it lasted later than others and it continued after the importation of slaves was outlawed (which certainly didn't help to stem racism). Slavery is slavery, it makes no difference whether you use "is" or "was". Was the south heavily racist? Oh hell yes. Was enslavement wrong? Hell yes. I don't know anyone who isn't living a century in the past who wouldn't agree with those views. And just in case I just went on a huge tangent: what I'm saying is that trying to argue was/is is a silly kind of semantic argument. It's the same thing.

To be fair, racism towards blacks probably arose from the institution of slavery in the US, and not the other way around. Slavery itself wasn't racist, but that's not to say that implications arising from over a century of subjugation of a single race led to racist beliefs.
