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

[At30wecashout]

Realistically, every single descent of people has historically taken some kind of L. I am not ashamed of being from the bloodline of victims of white people's greed.

In 200 years, Africa might be a world power stepping on folks, making white and asian folks ask the same question posed in this thread.

Here are a few anecdotes about slavery:

1. The term slave has its origins in the word slav. The slavs, who inhabited a large part of Eastern Europe, were taken as slaves by the Muslims of Spain during the ninth century AD.

2.The Greeks and Romans kept slaves as soldiers, servants, labourers and even civil servants. The Romans captured slaves from what is now Britain, France and Germany.

3.In Imperial Russia in the first half of the 19th century one third of the population were serfs, who like slaves in the Americas, had the status of chattels and could be bought and sold. They were finally freed in 1861 by Emperor Alexander II. Four years later slavery was abolished in the southern states of America following southern defeat in the American Civil War.

Other interesting facts about slavery:

1. The Jews were enslaved more than once. They were enslaved by the Egyptians. Many were hauled off in slavery by the Romans when Israel fell to the Romans in the 1st Century. They were enslaved by the Germans in Germany just 70 some odd years ago and forced to work in Germany industrial factories.

2. Much of Northern and Central India was enslaved by the Mamluk Dynasty (Muslims) in about 1200.
History of slavery in Asia - Wikipedia

3. There were numerous times that the Chinese enslaved people and were enslaved themselves.

You're dumb, breh.

Cacs hold onto Greeks and Romans all day. England still has a queen..

 

[BigMan]

Y'all dumb dumb docile nikkas really believe slavery began and ended with the Atlantic slave trade huh

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

I'll always be proud of being from the bloodline of the people that overcome racist CACs. This country does everything in their power to kill us , but we still run laps around these racist fakkits. They live their lives with a cheat code and still are afraid of us

 

[BigMan]

Y'all need to learn your history
Our ancestors
took momentary Ls just like everyone else

Our ancestors also fought and establish independent communities and nations

[Taadow]

LOL, everybody is a descendant of slaves.

 

[EndDomination]

Not at all.
I'm proud of where we've come from, considering where White people acting as genocidal leaders tried to force us.
Only thing to do is to continue to ascend.

LOL, everybody is a descendant of slaves.

Yep. The Romans enslaved pretty much everybody, including the English and Germans.

 

[Nymbus]

I don't say this to sound condescending but pick up some books breh, I remember feeling this way deep down when I was a little kid in my white American history class but then I realized out heritage doesn't begin with our people being held hostage to demonic imperialism and it damn sure doesn't end there.

 

[chowism]

If you keep going back far enough we were running shyt at one point. Don't let a drop in the bucket of history make you feel ashamed because we had kingdoms at one point. To keep it all the way G, every race on this planet has been conquered at one point so it's just the pendulum swinging breh.

You're dumb, breh.
