The author should have made it clear that the castle was not originally built to house slaves as Africans knew nothing called slave trade before the arrival of Europeans in West Africa. The castle was build by Swedish Africa company (one of many European chattered companies) to facilitate trade in timber, gold, and cash crop, which were the original reasons and commodities that Europeans came to trade with West Africans. It wasn't until British terrorists sacked the Dutch and Swedes afterwards that they (Britain) began using it to house slaves.

It need be made clear because, today, no matter how much you try to inform us that our ancestors did not know anything called slave trade before the the arrival of the Europeans, many of us find it difficult to believe.

Your analysis is correct. But it should also be made clear that, sadly, we had slavery - like everyone else - before the whites came here with a "terrorist" brand of it - the shipping of slaves overseas.

JuanDeDios:

In racial classification, the term "black" refers to negroid people. I have seen a lot of dark-skinned indigenous people outside Africa - the Dravidians of the Indian subcontinent, some Polynesian tribes, Australian aborigines, etc. - but not a single one of them are negroid, except those that came from Africa over recent centuries, like the Siddi people of the Indian subcontinent.

When people argue whether ancient Egyptians were black, what they are debating is whether they were negroid, not whether they were dark-skinned.

How will you classified the Ethiopian..... Are they black or just dark skin Arab, include the Sudan pls

There's something not right with that 3rd picture. Isn't she supposed to curtsy before the traditional ruler? It's common sense.

Racial classification is murky. What I can say is that within the negroid race, there are sub-classifications. Horners (Somalis, Oromos, Amharas, Tigrays, etc.) are black people even if they are not Bantu. Some have argued that if ancient Egyptians were black, they most likely looked like the horners. If that is true, you would be correct to say they were black. And maybe you're right, but what's the evidence?

Sudan (the country) has both light-skinned Arabs and black Africans.

You are correct .....before the white arrived on African on west Africa shore....there were slaves but, the slavery system was very much different from what the white brought with them. It is not unusual for a slave to rise up to place of important amount native and be fully integrated into their master household, that was before white radicalized everything with brand of savages and violence.....but to be fair slavery on Africa didn't started with white but the Arabs..... The Arab slaves raiding on the countries north of Africa was what drove out the original inhabitants of those place...... The glory of Spain belong to the Moorish (Black) think about this

JuanDeDios:

Sudan (the country) has both light-skinned Arabs and black Africans.

Where did those Arab come from, are they Aborigines to Sudan or not

Africa superiority not black.
There is a lot of difference between Africans and blacks. Egyptians are not blacks.

The ancient Egyptians were Blacks

Maiherpri Mummy (18th Dynasty, 1427-1392 BC)


Maiherpri, Buried at Thebes in Egypt, Valley of the Kings, New Kingdom 18th Dynasty, 1427-1392 BC


Maiherpri Mummy (18th Dynasty, 1427-1392 BC)

Maiherpri was buried in a Royal Egyptian Tomb in the Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis (Egypt). The mummy was unwrapped in March 1901, revealing a very dark skin with woolly hair. In Maiherperi's tomb, a papyrus was found depicting him with literally "blackish" skin. The papyrus in question was the Book of the Dead (Picture below).

Not sure what your point is. Everyone knows they came from the Arabian peninsular.

OK for those still doubting.....again think about this, the Afrikaans in South African, the Dutch in Namibia and the white in Zimbabwe.......that now claimed to be native of those countries...... Are they now truly African by origin

So if the Arabs in Sudan were from Arabian peninsula where then those in North Africa were from?

All of the Arabs in Africa are invaders, they do not originate from Egypt. The Negroids hairs, nose, and lips on the Egyptian Sphinx clearly reveals the identity of its constructors

Bro you need not answer me.....my question are for those that doubt the fact that Arabs are not truly African and as such are impostors anywhere on the Africa continent.

You come in here to quote an hypothesis and think you are now intelligent... You have been reading wrong things.

She should come to Nigeria a visit PMB then congratulate Atiku

na naija you dey rate like dat? We're not reckoned with, internationally. Our human right history is the worst. Your president detained some people even after court had ruled that their bail be granted. That's why we're saying you should vote him out come next year. We don't need a dictator as a democratic president. Dictatorship is only peculiar with the military

See Ghanaians with their traditional attire.
If na Nigerian leaders dem for knot tire and Suit forget their traditional attire

Kudos to Ghana

Like to send Buhari back to Daura
Share to retain Buhari in Aso Rock

Nigerians are one of the few Africans who always rock their native attires at international meetings and occasions, check all our heads of states and ambassadors, when last did you see a Nigerian president wear a suit, even our first ladies rarely wear English attires. You don't always have to criticize your country for little and minute things, especially when the critcism is baseless

Once a model, always a model ! Melania will pose for a pic even at war ravaged Syria if she pay's a visit

I love melania, she is gorgeous.

Oga find the nearest library to read about early African civilization.... The Arab in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt are impostors in those countries, all the aforementioned countries are early black(Moorish) civilization

Nope , find the nearest library to read about first civilisation in maghreb ( algeria , tunisia moroco , libya) . the berbers first african civilisations in maghreb . called africcans many hundreds years before the word africa was generalized to the rest of the continent .

And population now in maghreb still berbers genetically . ( many genetics studies was done ) , and they are arab only by the language . ( at same library "google" you will find that an arab include also poeple who use arabic as first language even if hime isnt arab geneticaly )
