Our neighbor, Lamont has fruit trees on his property. "Lamont, what kinds of fruit do you grow?" I asked. "Well I grow peaches, apricots, pears and plums" he replied. "Wow! That's quite a variety" I said. Lamont's son Riley helps his dad care for the trees. "Oh it's constant work and care" Riley said, "but the delicious results are worth the effort". After the fruit is harvested Riley's mother Charlotte cans the fruit for use throughout the year. She makes preserves and she gives them as gifts for special occasions. Charlotte sells some of her preserves to Kurt Simmons the owner of a local shop. People come from all over the county to buy Charlotte's preserves. Riley's Aunt Fay grows corn, tomatoes, beans and squash in her garden. Each year she selects her best vegetables and enters them in the fair. She has won blue ribbons medals and certificates for her vegetables. "Oh I just like being outside. That's why I enjoy gardening" Fay said. Fay's specialty squash-and-tomato bread is one of the most delicious breads I have ever tasted.
Answer:
No, it definitely was not pure racism.
Explanation:
While individuals who have pure hatred and racist views against other groups of people have always existed, during the centuries that slavery existed, not everyone who owned slaves or supported slavery justified their position on the basis of racist arguments.
Very often, these arguments in favor of racism were made from an economic point of view. They justified slavery because slavery was fundamental for their economic well-being. Some people even justified slavery under supposedly moral, ethical, or religious reasons, arguing that slaves were better off under the control of their owners, or that some religious scripture justified slavery.

N the 1600s, the Dutch West India Company was more powerful and
successful than Microsoft, IBM, or General Motors today. The Company's
thousands of employees had one primary goal: to make money. Investors in
the Dutch West India Company were fortunate. Its annual profits went as
high as 200 or 300 percent. (In comparison, a strong stock today might
return yearly profits of 20 or 30 percent.) In the pursuit of profits,
the Company traded commodities such as spices, sugar, fur, and slaves.
It also fought battles against Spain to gain new territory.
The Dutch West India Company was an offshoot of the Dutch East India
Company, which funded Henry Hudson's voyage to North America in 1609. If
Hudson could find a secret shortcut to Asia, the Company would make
even more profits.
Although
Hudson failed at this mission, his dazzling reports of fur trading
opportunities inspired merchants. About fifteen years later, the Company
sent over some thirty families as colonists and workers. They called
the new colony "New Amsterdam." Later renamed New York, it would grow
into one of the greatest cities in the world.
