Cape Verdeans' role as middlemen in the transatlantic slave trade

[Julius Skrrvin]

so when was the last time you commented or criticized the situation then? Because you and your crew seem quite excited to criticize another nation for the same disease you and your people suffer from. I'll be awaiting a thread on the fukked up caste system in india from you shortly.

What is there to say? no news, no change. im not interested in keeping score, though i do find the idea of people on here taking thinly veiled subs at each others ethnic backgrounds entertaining just like everyone else. unlike yall i dont actually find someone personally culpable for perceived cultural injustices in their background. you really need to detox on the internet fume fits you have and relax.

@Mowgli do you really identify as white?

No. Both my parents are black.

A outraged by trolling.

take your trolling to JBO. A lurker who enters the "higher learning" forum and reads this crap will think all you people are racist scum.

But if it were a thread condemning sodomy you and the rest of the "progressives" would be lambasting the TS on your proverbial high horses, complaining to mods and shyt.

The hypocrisy is sickening.

Realest post in internet history. Victor Von Doom you make Indians look bad with your trolling against black people.

This isnt a forum for trolling. Please be more cautious careful and mature when you create threads in KTL in the future. We dont have time for your pathetic vendettas. I dont think Indians are supposed to act like this.

I have no idea what you gentlemen are talking about or what false pretenses you are attributing to me of but I find these accusations offensive quite frankly. I made this thread to provide anthropological/sociological data for purposes of discussion. I'm not sure why I am being assailed personally for trying to provide fruitful discussion for HL.

I think he hates his indian father which is why he hates God.

 

[The Real]

I think he hates his indian father which is why he hates God. I cant imagine the Indian community accepting a child from a black mother. Especially in India. Imagine trying to tell everyone your Indian and they're like Than you tell people you're black and they're like

The situation you describe sounds very similar to the plight of the Cape Verdeans who came here calling themselves Portugese and trying to change the census to avoid writing down "Black," and got laughed at by whites and spurned by Black folks.

The cvs that do do that typically get mistaken for white. I understand their identiy crisis. Most the cvs i know dont have that problem. Overall the term Black is a term used for a people with no identity considering the rest of the world typically identifies themselves by their nationality/culture where as people who identify as black are a people who have been stripped of their identity and try to enforce the term black on the world because they dont know who they are outside of what the white man told them, Negro. People want to belong, to something besides the name of a color.

They're caught in a place where black people and white people give them the face so it is what it is. Everyone has a struggle.

And...did not some Africans sell other Africans to slavery? You think without the cooperation of Africans it would be easy to capture slaves?
