You Betcha
Instead Of Just Taking The Word Of Your Contemporary Black Authors
Why Don't You Also Read First Hand Accounts
Of People That Were Actually There At The Time ??
1. Slavery Was A Way Of Life For Africans South Of The Sahara
2. The Vast Majority Of African Slaves Never Left Africa
Because Slavery Was A Way Of Life South Of The Sahara
3. Far And Away The Largest Export Market For African Slaves
Was Arab Muslim Nations
Where The Males Were Castrated Before Arrival.
If They Died In The Desert, No Prob...
Arabs Really Only Wanted The Women And Girls Anyway
4. The Slave Trade With Europeans Made Black Africans The Primary Resident
Of Nearly Every Tropical Paradise Around The Globe
5. Slavery In Sub-Saharan Africa Wasn't Universally Officially Abolished Until The 1920's
In Saudi Arabia, Not Until The 1960's
