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

[Kasgoinjail]

Scarification is actually very deep spiritually it's not always done on the face and is sometimes done for healing.

Just look at the ancient Maya letting
That's why I think lowkey us 'hood' black women (myself included) pierce ours ears so many times and the left side of our nose too. So many rites of passage are lost yet still practiced in our own adjusted ways.

I haven't even pierced my daughters ears yet and she's almost 10, because now I understand its a blood letting ritual so I need her to comprehend that too

Christianity in Africa - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

"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.

You still posting this pseudo bullshyt ?

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

There a good bit of truth in this but context needs to be applied.

 

[Phitz]

Look, it's painful to admit but African's were complicit and willing sold humans to the Europeans, denying, spinning or ignoring that fact is silly and serves no purpose

Its not about spinning but looking at the painful truth with ACCURATE detail and ACCURATE context as well.

 

[Phitz]

Lets not forget many of the Africans who sold slaves were also captured, made drunk and sold themselve. So there's ALOT of descendents of slave traders among all the diaspora, they didnt stay in Africa.

Of course Africans sold Africans.

Cacs were also able to Colonize Africa because they worked with c00n African sellouts.

Africa is too large for Europeans to have gone over there and taken over by literal force. They would have to have taken their entire armadas which would have left their origin nations vulnerable. You then have to believe that Africans could not defend themselves from the all mighty European.

Cacs couldn’t even takeover Iraq and Afghanistan with advanced weaponry but they somehow took over an entire continent by the same means?

Africans sold other Africans.

It’s beyond silly to think that Europeans could just sail to and march into the continents interior and take millions of people that easily .

No reason to sugarcoat or sanitize it .

 

[#1 pick]

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.

People don't realize how profitable it was for the whites and they were going to try to get you no matter what. Many got kidnapped anyway.

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

Wouldnt make sense Africa Is an entire continent. Not even Europe or Asia was united in a single continental empire. What makes u think it would even work logistically speaking?

If you understand how Africa was in antiquity certain areas make complete sense. Lol u guys keep painting Africa is some kind of monolith. Some societies were well under equipped to handle warfare

No need to take an entire continent.

But at least have some territorial ambition to conquer and united west, central and southern Africa.


The Romans conquered Europe and held it for 1000 years.


The Carolingian Empire had conquered Western and Central Europe.

The Mongols had this as their territory

 

[BaggerofTea]

The African race would have benefit from having our own conqueror to create the spirituality of pan africanism.

Bro they did just do you understand how vast the kingdom of Mali, Kongo, Songhai Empire, Abyssinian empire were. These were not small places at the slight

Also just like day comes night will follow, civilizations rise and fall where is the Roman empire or Mongolian empire currently. The only empire you could made of a semblance of modern arrival was the Abyssinian empire (kingdom of Solomon) (Ethiopia) and even then look at how fractured Ethiopia has become in modern times.

again you say this there is no guarantee it would have made it to the modern age, seriously. Did europe not go through world war 1 and world war 2 despite having said "united" empires previously

You are attributing things to africa that wouldn't even translate to other places, it makes no sense if you pay attention to all facets of modern history

it has nothing to do with establishing an ever lasting empire per se.


I have a theory that I believe much of Europeans hearty ethnic internalism and rejection as second to outsiders was cultivated by the Carolingian.


Once they experienced that unification as a people, they will always see themselves as Europeans first.


Yes they have warred for 1000 years after the Romans fell, but they also united when it came to dealing with outside groups.

I disagree I actually think it stemmed from Mansa Musa and the various Black Moors that were in Iberian Regions.

Notice once they kicked the Black moors out and they heard about spread of Mansa's Wealth Portugal Lead its crusade into uncharted waters. The dates actually line too once you look at the math

They got tired of Africans running through they region plus the untold amount of wealth from Mansa, they wanted that for themselves
