Nick Cannon on Slavery Never Existing If it Weren't for Guns

[datnigDASTARDLY]

Im done

Fam read up on it, it wasnt just the clinate, it was diseases like malaria and other stuff, white men could barely last a month in deep Africa...

Tribalism & the love of money fukked the slaves over, period...

id say that this made Africans a commodity, guns just cemented the act.

The same thing that did the native Americans in, did the Africans in: gold and riches that the white man had in abundance.

To be fair, I think he means western civilization's - particularly American - concept of slavery.

An argument can be had that euros wouldn't have been able to bribe or tempt africans on the coast to exchange slaves for superior fire power, african communities doing business with euros wouldn't have deemed their other tradeable resources as valuable.

 

[BlackMajik]

Are you saying Europeans helped other Africans by ending slavery?

In a way they did. Did u read what I posted above? Certain African Royals wanted it to continue

Do you consider yourself African?

 

[BlackMajik]

Do you consider yourself African?

No. I consider myself a Black American (A descendant of Africa) or what many on here say AA DOS

 

[xoxodede]

The fukked up thing is if it wasn't for the Europeans wanting it to stop the Africans most likely would have kept the slave trade going

Pretty much.

It was more than a few African chiefs that were pissed that the trade stopped in 1807. Even then, they still sold/kidnapped Africans and smuggled them in after. Up to Cudjo Lewis - the subject of Barrac00n.

GROWING RICH WITH SLAVERY ROYALTY
In the early 18th century, Kings of Dahomey (known today as Benin) became big players in the slave trade, waging a bitter war on their neighbours, resulting in the capture of 10,000, including another important slave trader, the King of Whydah. King Tegbesu made £250,000 a year selling people into slavery in 1750. King Gezo said in the 1840's he would do anything the British wanted him to do apart from giving up slave trade:

"The slave trade is the ruling principle of my people. It is the source and the glory of their wealth…the mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery…"

In 1807, Britain declared all slave trading illegal. The king of Bonny (in what is now the Nigerian delta) was dismayed at the conclusion of the practice.

"We think this trade must go on. That is the verdict of our oracle and the priests. They say that your country, however great, can never stop a trade ordained by God himself."

The African role in the slave trade was fully understood and openly acknowledged by many African-Americans even before the Civil War. For Frederick Douglass, it was an argument against repatriation schemes for the freed slaves. “The savage chiefs of the western coasts of Africa, who for ages have been accustomed to selling their captives into bondage and pocketing the ready cash for them, will not more readily accept our moral and economical ideas than the slave traders of Maryland and Virginia,” he warned. “We are, therefore, less inclined to go to Africa to work against the slave trade than to stay here to work against it.”

guns, germs and steel and whatnot

Yep just like the documentary.

Just like the superpowers would not have existed without military power and nuks.

 

[MaxPain]

Who would you say held the most power in that dynamic?

Africans

Yea I posted most of that already but thanks babygirl lol

But yea Africans paid for this disgusting act when the Scramble for Africa finally commenced

If the Chinese actually used their inventions they had hundreds of years before everyone and gave their people social mobility..

We’d all be eating food cooked with gutter oil right now. They should’ve kept gunpowder to themselves

1. Gutter oil (Chinese: 地沟油; pinyin: dìgōu yóu, or 餿水油; sōushuǐ yóu) is a term used in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan to describe illicit cooking oil which has been recycled from waste oil collected from sources such as restaurant fryers, grease traps, slaughterhouse waste and sewage from sewer drains.[1][2]

Coli told me the transatlantic slave trade never happened though because we cant find the ships

i never got this, how the fukk did the millions of euro immigrants get to america? Where are the ships?

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

American was made via guns

If not for guns, native Americans would've stopped whites from taking over the land.

They wouldn't even been able to rape Africa if it weren't for guns.

There is a reason why every American "patriot" is a gun nut

 

[8WON6]

where is ja?

 

[datnigDASTARDLY]

Are y'all arguing that this wasn't normal and widely practiced at the time?

The only difference was Africa was literally the last frontier before modern time and white folk perpetuated it with weaponry unmatched at the time by any nation.
