'During the Roman occupation of Mauretania, the Godala Berber tribe fled to the south towards the Draa oasis and enslaved the local Haratin population. They have historically inherited their slave status and family occupation, have been endogamous, and socially segregated. Some communities differentiated two types of slaves, one called 'Abid or "slave" and Haratin or "freed slave". However, per anthropologist John Shoup, both 'Abid and Haratin were not free to own land or had equivalent property rights.

Trueman rightly I think, challenges this from Tisby

"White Christians have to face the possibility that everything they have learned about how to practice their faith has been designed to explicitly or implicitly reinforce a racist structure."

what Tisby should understand... I think is that its actually possible that many of us HAVE. Ok I will face the possibility. And then I will think "Well, the WCF was written well before race-based slavery became a thing" and the idea of 'quiet time' or whatever is pretty race neutral
