Not enough context was provided regarding the "herin" part of the prompt. However, I'll assume that your question was generalized on the general history of slavery and racism.

The chain of historical events described in the context of economic colonialism, racial enslavement, and ongoing racism in the world highlights the devastating impact of these practices on the lives and livelihoods of people in many parts of the world, particularly in Africa.

Economic colonialism, which involves the exploitation of a country's resources and labor by a foreign power for its own economic gain, has had profound consequences for the people of Africa, who have been stripped of their resources, land, and economic independence. The slave trade, which was a key component of economic colonialism, involved the forced capture and transportation of millions of African people to work as slaves in the Americas and other parts of the world. This practice not only deprived African communities of their people and labor but also created a legacy of racial discrimination and inequality that persists to this day.

The ongoing legacy of racism and discrimination is evident in the continued economic and social disparities between different racial and ethnic groups. People of African descent and other marginalized groups continue to face barriers to economic, social, and political advancement, as a result of historical discrimination and prejudice.
