Just so we're clear on what and who the Moors are

[Big Brown Areola]

Something i always thought is how could black people be superior as everybody says but end up being conquered by an inferior group. It only makes sense if the inferior group had help of black people themselves, idk if it's the moors or whoever but it is what it is.

Oh dude talks about it in the video.

superiority is an individual matter

it was and most likely will always be the many ruled by the few

and in the case of africa the individuals in control have always chosen what they felt was most profitable to them

euros did not conquer shyte the leaders in the motherland made a fukked up business deal

the racial aspect is superficial the deeper aspect of the struggle is something all life must endure the will to power the drive to flourish and thrive(& the evil men will commit when they feel they will lose what they know they have gotten by ill means)

unfortunately 99.9% of humans are weak hearted weasels who operate out of fear they don't understand that the greatest resource is humanity itself

so instead of being an asset to ourselves we are our own burden

What you talking about? Do you know people were already enslaved before the transatlantic slave trade right?

define the situation, because everyone has a one sided view of what that time is?

Heard a white woman on tv refer to moors as “blackamoors”

You do know that was the name for Blacks back in Europe at the time. Blackamoor and it wasn’t a diss. They didn’t say African or Black but Moor or Blackamoor.

What country did they come from?

They were a combination of Africans who spreaded Islam to other countries.

 

[Man]

For those interested, with an hour to kill to learn something (if not already familiar), the below video has a concise history of the raping of Congo, one of Africa’s most important countries that has been plagued by violence since. It’s also where a lot of Brazil’s enslaved came from and there was also slavery within the country itself for decades

A lot of what the guy in the OP video is talking about is based on this author’s research and book:




Think I’ll make a thread in The Root covering Congo from a longer timespan and also from an African perspective with which are the best books on it- fascinating and tragic history till today

 

[Man]

So I actually watched the video instead of skipping through it (for the most part) and dude has a lot more misinformation (especially on those that ride the goat) than gems and is blabbering off the top of his dome it seems rather than showing and proving

I’d only advise that you do your own research

(Adam Hochschild’s version of Congo has to be cross referenced and examined too for your own piece of mind but worth reading)

Moors were c00ns by modern definition

 

[Swagnificent]

Why do y'all keep glorifying the moors, they sold black people into slavery.

Before the transatlantic slave trade racialized slavery, everyone sold slaves to everyone.

Whites sold whites as well during the Roman and Greek era.

Before the creation of white supremacy, the concept of race we live with today didn't exist. The Greeks and Romans didn't view themselves as being the same as the blonde hair blue eye Germans to the north. And similarly black people in Africa didn't view themselves as the same.

Stop trying to project modern sensibilities to the past.

This is why it's silly to use our modern sensibilities to people who lived in a world before white supremacy as an idelogy and modern concepts of race.

The Moors didn't behave any differently toward other Africans than the Romans and Greeks did toward the Germanic peoples to their north.

We gotta realize that before cacs linked up with one another through white supremacy in the last 500 years that all peoples used to be just tribal and identify with just their tribe/nation.

Not that it matters, but the Moors also sold White people into slavery.

Since we are on the subject; Black people sold Black people into slavery too. Not only did they sale them to White people, but they also sold them to Arabs.

True race wasn’t seen the way we see it now but the moors made a fatal mistake...they taught their subjects too much...

Yes indeed, they had pawg slaves.

Slavery is wrong in any kind of way.
