Zone1 my black ancestors sold slaves to white slavers but I blame the white slavers.

[surada]

You do realize that you are allowed to use slaves for more than just picking cotton, right? They dont need plantations in order to have a need for slaves, of which arabs had more than any other group in the world.

Nope. They might have a couple boys to look after the chickens, but they never had a large slave population. They couldn't feed them.

 

[JGalt]

Probably not. The Arabs didn't have mega plantations and couldn't feed slaves.

Seriously?

White slave owning racists said it, so it must be true.

Slave trade has been big business since the beginning of man. Humans were enslaving other humans before we could even speak. The question is, why are you people always trying to blame whitey for it?

You mean in America, Brazil and the Caribbean?

 

[Godboy]

Nope. They might have a couple boys to look after the chickens, but they never had a large slave population. They couldn't feed them.

Thats an absurd claim, seeing how they took more slaves than any other place in the world.

 

[Orangecat]

Yup that's what we have in a nut shell from people that post about whites being solely responsible for slavery in America.

A History of African Traders of Enslaved People

During the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Europeans bought from African traders that sold enslaved Africans due to debt, class, or lack of empathy.

perfect example of this blame whites but not blacks

Some people need to find fault in other races to justify their own shortcomings in life. These are people of low character and best be avoided.

You mean in America, Brazil and the Caribbean?

Those places didnt exist in the beginning. Those places are only responsible for a tiny fraction of the history of slavery. Slavery started in Africa and it thrives there more today than ever before.

Manumission was pleasing to God.

Africans didn't own any slave ships.

They just stocked them.

The Dutch were hauling African slaves to Brazil before 1600.

 

[Moonglow]

I like the part in the Bible where Jesus advocated chattel slavery.

 

[Godboy]

Africa was enslaving people in 15,000 BC and they still are today. How are the Dutch doing in 2022?

The slave trade was big business.. they had lots of stockholders.

Stockholders in business ventures which never would have happened, had it not been for North African Arab Muslims creating that market. Do you really think that a bunch of white people took a boat to Africa, and rounded up a bunch of dark people? No. It was primarily North African Arab Muslims whose penchant for slavery, who created the slave market. They had been doing that for centuries before they found that it could be profitable.

They are more angry at long dead slave owners in history than they are with the current slave owners in Africa in 2022. You dont hear a fucking peep out of black people for modern day slavery. I guess its because they cant score political points for those slaves.

Not only that, but they virtually suck the cocks of the political whores who own their stupid asses this very day.

Sure, they only have to "work" on November 4th or for a few weeks before stuffing ballot boxes in exchange for a substandard living, but they're oblivious to the fact that they're forcibly segregated in shitty communities with piss poor public services that are designed to fail.

Sure enough some black people get a few table scraps if they get good brainwashing and parrot inane drivel but for the most part they're still serving a "massa" and they're regarded as "house n!993rs" by the ghetto rats.

That said it seems to me a lot of black people are escaping the plantation. From my perspective plenty of them know that even the black political whores are doing nothing for them at best, and otherwise working to keep them down.

The Marsh Arabs? Read Wilfred Theisenger. He lived with them for decades.

Yes, they enslaved black in Iraq area to work and die in the salt marshes. There ARE still black communities in Iraq though. And they are a very marginalized people without a voice.

This thread premise is what is called "false equivalency".

The thread premise is that Africans were selling their own people. Blacks were selling blacks. The history of black slaves in America originates with the blacks who sold them in the first place.

 

[JGalt]

The Dutch were hauling African slaves to Brazil before 1600.

The Dutch were merely transporting them, and selling them for a higher price than they bought them. They bought them from the North African Arab Muslims, who were the ones who actually took them into captivity.

The first slave owner in the US was a black man.

Even today in Arab countries like Iraq. Blacks are called Abd, which means SLAVE.... what does that tell you about Arab society?

The first African slaves to the New World were labor for the sugar plantations in Recif, Brazil. They hauled sugar and rum to New Amsterdam and onto Europe with sugar, rum and dried Cod. Then back down the West Coast of Africa to pick up more slaves.

They had to have labor. The natives had died of disease and fighting or they'd run off to the mountains.
