There were NO slaves in Badagry in 1923 held by white men at least.
Except you mean ALL black men were/are slaves to whites! Is that what you mean

If you want to truly inform, kindly choose your words carefully,
Cheers!
Were you born then? how can you say racism doesn't exist in 1923 and in this above pictures!

The picture tells the story. the painted black men are slaves, while the black men dressed are also slaves but higher in rank than the unclad ones. their role would most likely be interpreters/guards. they are dressed so as to differenciate them! undecided

And if your asking about the child amidst them, to the whites, he is an invalid. meaning that they care less about him

Why didn't the white men remove their clothes n use red paint to write 'Merry Xmas'? It would have made more sense n fun!
Shebi we write better on white paper?

Some of us just have a hyper-radar for detecting racism where there's none. Stop being so racism-hyper-conscious.

Why are the black guys sooo black and ugly.

And dem dey bone face join their ugliness.

Do not be mistaken, there is a clear difference between the black and the white races.

One is obviously Superior.

Accepting the truth is the first step to total emancipation.

Living in self denial is slavery in itself.
empires come and empires go. its called the feast of tabernacles ( rulership of the world ) and the feast of yom kippur ( being the most downtrodden and humiliated and abused ). yes we are inferior at this juncture in history but that white man you are looking at once lived in caves as a neanderthal caveman walking on all fours and barking like a dog ( this was barely a thousand years go ). its called the dark ages. its the cycle of life and how God has done it. some are punished while some are exalted. we are the punished at this juncture in history

and the picture is very racist. i am sure the white people made them paint that on themselves

Wow, nice historical pic. I don't know what to feel about the pic though. Grown men being painted for art maybe? It's a little disturbing. I hope it's with good intentions.
