I'm pretty sure most white people believed that the other races were inferior before the 20th century. The ones who did believe that all people were equal regardless of their race were few and far between.
Also people in all times have had (and still don't have) no problems subjugating each other for various other reasons (i.e. excuses), not only for race, but also, for example, religion or in most cases for simple greed. I personally don't think subjugating anyone for any other reason is better than subjugating anyone for their skin color. So does that make 99% of the human beings who have ever lived amoral and without conscience?
