Economic system, far more nuanced than "yall" would think
It's not a matter of "if". They didn't give a fukk about the people that they sold or what happened to them.
I feel you. Even if you choose not to believe it think about this. How the fukk does a handful a CACs in boats with some guns manage to get their hands on millions of Africans throughout the years? How would the logistics of that work?I dont trust my enemy to tell my history. White ppl have been pushing that narrative as their "gotcha" when discussing slavery. "Your own ppl sold you to us!"
As I said, I don't believe it.

So in your mind, how did it happen? Whole armadas swooped down on Africa, an unfamiliar terrain, and grabbed every African they could find and made it back to the boats?A handful in boats?
My guy, this is the British empire you're talking about. You're proving my point right now without realizing it.
They have given us these images of a couple of wry cacs touching down on African soil, when the truth is that the British were trying to colonize Africa and so they were there in force. It wasn't just a "few" of them.
But they give us these offhand descriptions to try to throw us off as to what they really did.

Bro, the Atlantic Slave Trade was a conspiracy between Africans and whites. They worked hand in hand. That's the inconvenient and upsetting part of our history that black people refuse to face. The African slave traders were not naive. They just didn't give a fukk. It was business between them and the whites.
The slave trade is a lot more messy than hoteps, and ivory tower nikkas with sociology degrees would like to present.
Slavery existed in Africa but it was nothing on the level of the inhumane barbaric chattel slavery that we went through here where we were treated worse than animals.
Slavery in Africa was indentured servitude. You worked for free until you paid off your debts etc etc.
If, and I say IF, our ppl sold us to white ppl, they could not have known what we were in for once we touched down on America's shores. They had no way to know that we would be raped, brutalized, etc etc. They thought it was the same as slavery among black ppl in Africa, where if someone was your indentured servant, you could trade them between each other.
I'm still saying IF though, because I honestly do not believe that our ppl sold us to these devils. I think that's something they made up.
I'm not black?You're not black, so of course we aren't your ppl.![]()

Greeks and Russians don't look at each other as family just becuz their both whiteWell if you're black, then what the hell were you trying to say?![]()
Greeks and Russians don't look at each other as family just becuz their both white
Hell when the Romans invaded Britania they called them savage cacs Brittunculi which basically means little children, they didn't like them or respect them at all and damn sure didn't consider them family becuz their both white.
It's not as simple as thinking of all black people as one big family
And there's another aspect of this convo that MANY people don't know about (and I've posted about it on this forum) but I'm only gonna reveal to truly enlightened people in private from now on.
Efunroye Tinubu (c. 1810 – 1887), born Ẹfúnpọ̀róyè Ọ̀ṣuntinúbú,[1] was a powerful Yoruba female aristocrat, merchant, and slave trader in pre-colonial and colonial Nigeria
She sold slaves to Brazilian and European merchants in violation of a 1852 treaty with Great Britain outlawing the slave trade in Lagos, which resulted in her coming into conflict with the British
She was married to Oba Adele of Lagos, and she used his connections to establish a successful trade network with European and West African merchants in slaves, tobacco, salt, cotton, palm oil, coconut oil, and firearms. She allegedly owned over 360 personal slaves.
