Answer:

Europeans considered that Black People were lesser people who had no civil or natural rights. Sometimes they even discussed whether black people were actually people or not.

Explanation:

They used these white supremacist views to justify slavery. They believed that slavery was morally good because they were enslaving people who had no personal worth.

Sometimes they even said that slavery was good for black people because it gave them a purpose, a job, and a place where to sleep. Some of them even gave religious arguments to justify slavery, pointing out at excerpts  from the Bible that supposedly supported their beliefs.
