I think as a white male I can agree with that statement. The slave trade started as blacks selling blacks to foreigners. But to justify slavery before Christians in America, race was more or less invented to justify the subordinated class. At first there were plenty of white slaves in America, but that was quickly put down. It's really unfortunate that the Churches couldn't stand up against theological tricks to justify the slave trade. It hurt a lot of churches. There was (and still is) a lot of cherry picking Bible verses to justify that kind of chattel slavery.
I think if I could change that statement, I would call them a group of bigots instead of "white people". Also the message isn't really appropriate for the age group it looks like it's aimed at... but I can't exactly tell.
