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. 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! 1 Like |

shymexx: 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. http://encyclopediavirginia.org/Slave_Ships_and_the_Middle_Passage dont be in denial dear. it happened. |
