Discrimination and Skin Colour

Hey guys today I'll be talking about discrimination and skin colour which could be the origins of racism today.
Discrimination to do with skin colour dates back to when whites, blacks and everything inbetween first made contact with each other. Possibly the first act of skin colour discrimination was Christopher Columbus bringing back a few native American Indians and enslaved them. From then on when the white conquistadores travelled to America they brought home black men and sold them as slaves. This was socially acceptable back then and was institutionalised by schools, water fountains and cinemas being segregated.

New Discovery

Hey guys, this blog, I'll be telling you all about how humans came about finding people with different skin colours.
When explorers went to India to find spices and gold they found the Native Indian people who have a darker skin tone to the Spanish and Portuguese who were the main people who travelled to the spice islands by land. When Christopher Columbus completed his voyage to the spice islands he then tried to get west by sailing East. When his boats reached what he thought was India but was really the south American islands, I think that this was the first contact that the white man had with the black man.
