There is more than one argument being made. Yes, racism existed (exists) and yes slavery helped develop capitalism in England (primarily), but whether you see the motivation for this slavery being racism or financial determines whether you fall on the racialist or Marxist side of the discussion. As CLR James, said, "to think of imperialism in terms of race is disastrous."
