What is the truth behind Africans selling other Africans into slavery ?

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

 

[Yagirlcheatinonus]

Truth it was the Jewish amalakites

 

[BaggerofTea]

Both

Some were kidnapped

But others were legit sold. Some kingdoms legit had slavery be integral to their economy iirc

Africans did not see each other as one united race. Each tribe, region, etc. Were different peoples. Potential enemies, etc.

So they had no problem defeating other tribes, and selling their prisoners of war to Europeans

It's very similar to what happened in other countries Europe colonized. They took advantage of the lack of strong national identity and unity

Africa lacked a Charlamagne or a Ghengis Khan to unite groups.

Christianity in Africa - Wikipedia

"In the late 15th century, Portuguese traders and missionaries began arriving in West Africa, first in Guinea, Mauritania, the Gambia, Ghana, and Sierra Leone, then Nigeria and later in the Kingdom of Kongo, where they would find success in converting prominent local leaders to Catholicism."

Google Maps link: Elmina Castle, Ghana where enslaved Africans were kept under it’s Christian Church to be sold to the Americas

Black Christians will still play blind to these historical facts and evidence about our own history and do Olympic level mental gymnastics to cope, instead of acknowledging what they can see with their own eyes and actually PHYSICALLY touch with their own hands and feet today.

Ignoring the historical truths of our history like Massa wants

Just like we descent from Central and West Africa,
but they’ll point to Ethiopia which is located in East Africa,
to insinuate that Christianity ain’t inherently colonial.

Like it wasn’t brought there to Ethiopia by a non-Black Phoenician Christian missionary from Lebanon..

Africans were complicit, but Europeans and the colonial expansionist ideologies of Christianity were at the center of the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

And no, we not no COTDAMN Israelites.
We’re of Central and West African descent.

[ExodusNirvana]

After the "Black people sold other Black people" to white people as slaves

What did the White people do?

Did they set those slaves free because slavery is inherently wrong and immoral?

And after they set them free in America, were they granted the same legal rights and/or social liberties as White people?

Oh

 

[TRUEST]

Africans sold each other. But it boils down to this: if given the option to capture someone or have yourself be captured, which would you pick?

Years ago I inquired with elders in the family about why Africans are so evil that they deliberately scarred the faces of their daughters with markings. That is a fuccked up tradition. They told me that back in those days, pretty young women were getting snatched quite frequently. The only resistance they could muster up was to disfigure their own daughters to make them undesirable.

Their disposition, when faced with terrible choices was to harm their own children. Think of the psychological helplessness passed from generation to generation.

 

[Amo Husserl]

Spoiler: This is a good academic book:

Annamaboe was the largest slave trading port on the eighteenth-century Gold Coast, and it was home to successful, wily African merchants whose unusual partnerships with their European counterparts made the town and its people an integral part of the Atlantic’s webs of exchange.

Are we sure no Africans were taken by force ?

It is not that simple.
Europeans were doing business when they came to trade humans for rum, tobacco, textiles, firearms, glass beads in addition to other commodities. Did various European groups take advantage of and fuel tribal conflicts through trade with various other African tribes to take slaves for themselves? Yes. Did Europeans kidnap Africans to enslave them? Yes. They established their own trade networks within different tribal communities and used their middlemen and middle women to help them with their global human trafficking enterprise.

While African tribes were fighting against each other, Europeans were playing the supplier and middleman with firearms, rum and tobacco. Europeans created trade networks and exploited the Africans within those networks to their benefit. It is not as simple as asking if Africans were taken by force. Africans were taken by force, but there are not many official channels to officially state how many were taken by force annually.

The TAS was contracted among various European nations and within various European nations by private and public companies. There was a legal framework designed to protect official interests. There are slaving ports in England: Bristol and Liverpool. There were people who were not a part of these companies kidnapping Africans in Africa for profit in the Americas and Europe. When kidnapping is talked about this is what's alluded to. The Europeans taking Africans by force into slavery were economically competing against the business enterprises of public and private business interests by selling Africans at a lower rate, undermining the bottom line of legitimate business interests.

Spoiler: The trade and trafficking of Africans was not from Africa to the Americas. Portugal had black slaves:

This book, originally published in 1982, was the first detailed study of black slavery in Portugal during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when the Portuguese brought Europe into contact with black Africa and originated the Atlantic slave-trade. Portugal was the first European society to have a considerable black population, and the relations established between the white and black populations set a pattern that had effects throughout the Atlantic world.

Portuguese history during and after the Reconquista is important because it set the tone for the rest of Western Europe to make religious and economic justification for trading and trafficking Africans.

Breh

Yes. Africans sold other Africans.

Doesn't make it any better morally.

Care to explain the Yoruba? Or what about the Lemba of South Africa?
Or will you believe the synagogue of satan himself?

Most of our monarchs weren’t about shyt.


That’s an indictment on monarchies and the ruling elites, not Africans collectively, like cacs and uncle toms like to make it.

Ritual scarification is not “evil”.


Ritual scarification was/is used as an ethnic/sub-ethnic identifier and to heal the sick.

Scarification pre-dates the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and has never been limited to women.

In the schools in America black history starts at slavery. Let that marinate. They’ll never control my mind, I was born to be great, spread all the lies you want it won’t stop me.

Everyone knows or should knows that Western education is designed to undermine and control non-white peoples. It teaches you to hate yourself and worship whiteness.

It’s incumbent on parents to do counter brainwashing every day. Every day!
