Nightshift: @Shymexx, so you think that all those powerful African kings were not involved in selling their own people to white men? It's a historical fact that they were the real consumers of white man's whisky and schnapps, who like Oliver Twist , were asking and getting more by sending their army or gangs to raid and capture more people from villages for sale.
You definitely do not understand, until you hear from those current monarchs about the exploits of their forefathers; or study history.
Our mind for history is shallow, so our people prefer to avoid the bitter truth and move on. You are equally following a familiar step - the forgetful African mind!

Eze Nri never sold slave; Infact,Nri kingdom and environ took in run away slaves and cleansed them from the bondage of slavery. My people were wise and noble that's why I have sort of superiority mindset over non Nri. I am very proud and full of my danm self.....DANM!

spot on!!

shymexx:

Fam, not all African monarchs sold slaves and the few ones that did, live by the coast. I doubt any of the ones on here were involved in slavery.

sir, that occurred during the TRANS-ATLANTIC slave trade lol.
And not only were the kings on the coasts selling rivals but also their own.

Also, do you honestly believe they actually sold the millions of slaves taken into the new world? If you believe that, then you will probably believe anything. Most of the slaves were kidnapped by the slave merchants. There were princes and princesses amongst those slaves.

DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THE SLAVE TRADE LASTED?!
for over 300 years!! 1500s - 1800s.

The slave ship was the means by which nearly 12.5 million enslaved Africans were transported from Africa to the Americas between 1500 and 1866.
