Am I the only person embarrassed about being a descendant of slaves?

We were done at first, because you seem to only think that slavery over the last 1500 years have involved basically Africans. You completely ignored stuff like the enslavement of native people (American Indians) right here in the Americas by the Europeans and you are seemingly clueless about the fact that the that the Germans enslaved millions of Jews and Slavs during WWII. You also seemingly ignored saqaliba and the enslavement of other slavic people that also happened during the same 1500 year period. You also ignored colonialism which was also slavery, because it did not fit your narrative.

In the first line of the first reply I sent to you I said in clear English that Africans were obviously not the only people to be enslaved, but since the end of ancient times they have made up close to a majority of the world's population of enslaved people. The magnitude of the other examples you listed does not even come close to comparing to the African holocaust, which completely altered the entire landscape of African civilization from east-west, north-south, and coast-coast. Slavery as an institution has had a more detrimental effect on the black race than any other group of people on this earth and transcontinental slave trading is something that Africans should have never gotten into to begin with

that's why I also say, AA are the most forgiving group of people on earth, BUT that's not a good thing at all

I'm sorry, but I could never be friendly with cacs if that was me.

I thought that you said that you were done with your points.

I am fully aware of the impact of slavery upon Africans, but I am also aware of that millions of Africans died in Africa in warfare trying to prevent slavery and that not all African Kingdoms were even involved in slavery and slave trading. The Africans were not just a bunch of savages/barbarians just walking around enslaving each other. Enslavement usually happened as a result of warfare over stuff like land rights, taxes, trade, religion, ethnicity, on and on and on. If you lost the war then you became a prisoner and were enslaved. It was as simple as that and it is not different than any of the other slavery that has happened around the World during the last 1500 years with other peoples on other continents.

So when you finally have it put in your face that millions of other people other than Africans were also enslaved over the last 1500 years then all of a sudden you probably realized that you overstated your point, because Colonialism was slavery too. Millions of Chinese, Indians from India and Africa were enslaved and forced into hard labor to enrich the Europeans. Then there were the millions of Jews, Gypsies and Slavs during WWII who were enslaved by the Germans. They were imprisoned, chained and tatooed/branded just like the slaves were that were taken from Africa.

Fwiw, we say Africans, but during slavery those African Kingdoms saw things in terms of ethnic groups. So Africans did not have any allegiances to being Black; their allegiances lay with their ethnic groups/kins people. Africans during that period and even now see things in terms of Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Fulani, Madenka, Mende, BaKongo, Susu, Vai, etc. That is why people today have a hard time understanding the motives of Africans in the slave trade, because the people being sold were the almost always enemy tribes that were captured as prisoners in warfare; which was the vast majority of people sold as slaves (something like 90+%).

Not embarrassed at all, take pride in it even.

BEING THE DECENDANT OF A SLAVE SHOULD BE A SOURCE OF PRIDE FOR EVERY BLACK WOMAN AND MAN. IT IS A TESTIMENT TO OUR SURVIVAL AS A PEOPLE THAT WE SURVIVED ONE OF THE GREATEST ABUSES OF HUMANS IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. WE BUILT THIS NATION AND CONTINUE TO BUILD THIS NATION WITHOUT PAY. W/O BLACKS THERE IS NO AMERICA THEM CRAKKAS WOULDA TURNED THEY ASS RIGHT BACK TEUROPE. THIS IS MY COUNTRY AS A BLACK MAN.

His-story teaches that blacks started off and were nothing b.u.t. slaves... We are decadents of some of the greatest Kings, Queens, Warriors, and people of medicine, maths, sciences, astrology... and etc..

Why not focus on the fact that even through all that...we still fighting . Still here.

What about your parents and grandparents ..the civil right movement. All the black excellence and influence. The inventions...Black businesses and CEO's

The Panthers...The movements with black political leaders, actors actresses, and sports figures.

Freedom of speech...we used their tools against them. We literally own the word nikka now.
