A master posing with newly acquired African slave.

r0cky:
insult

hardbody:
I had seen some of these pics at the slave museum in Calabar. However the real life experience at Elmina Castle in Ghana still haunts me till today. Those slaves suffered. That is all i can say. To think that my forbears strongly supported this act only in exchange for gin, gun powder and mirrors is another thing to think about. May God forgive them because I won't.

Slavery in Africa was much more different than in other parts of the world. African slave traders most likely didn't know of the harsh inhumane treatment

The Book Of Negroes, 2015.

In 1750, stolen from Africa, eleven-year old Aminata Diallo is enslaved and forced to endure a treacherous journey to America.

"Survive this crossing, Daughter of Mamadu and Sira."


Ishilove have you seen this?

Ishilove:

No, never. This seems interesting though

But they knew they were being sent across the Atlantic to never return to their home.

Sile12:


Yeah sure, husbands, wives, children, brothers&sisters were kidnapped on on the farms, way to streams and in their homes. They will be on the ship, chained and thinking about those they left behind. So horrible.

khiaa:





Yeah, you say horrible, but I as an AA who experience's the pain till this day I will say it's degrading, humiliating, shameful, embarrassing,
sickening, pathetic and unforgivable to know that your own people will sell you out over greediness.
The way Nigeria is so corrupt and greedy today, I wonder if you had the chance, would you sell your people out to slavery, knowing how dehumanizing it was.

MrPresident1:


The forbidden fruit corrupted us irredeemably, so much so that God Himself had to die to save us.

And to the bolded...

Slavery has always been a part of human culture and society. There is no race that has never been enslaved and did not enslave others. The Romans enslave other europeans just so as to fatten and kill them as gladiators, the ottoman turks enslaved eatern and. Europeans and some parts of the west, trained them to fearlessbe fearless jainissaries to wage war on europe.
Nationalism and racism has made people identify with one another with skin color. Then if you had the same skin color as mine it does not make u my brother. In fact historically you could be the worst thing to me. In America, the red indian tribes were helping the whites to annihilate other enemy tribes because of historical differences. This is how the world was in those times and till now in many places

khiaa:



Yeah, but slavery wasn't the same as slavery in America *chattel slavery* where the African slaves in America were dehumanized and legally written to be half human and half beast. They were seen as beast of burden, no different than a horse, mule, or donkey and lack of human emotions. They were stripped of EVERYTHING, language, culture, their sir names and first named, marriage, naming their own children, their families because they were torn apart at the will of old Charlie. They were butchered, some were kept in chains for 24 hrs. a day.
American slavery was the worst slavery in history. Read about it so that next time you want to make comparisons to others, you will know the difference.

This is where I completely go against black slavery because blacks had to deal with a lot of suffering.

macof:


Yes but my point is most Africans didn't know of the treatment

slaves in Africa were treated as members of the household

khiaa:




You should go against slavery of any kind.

teeowl:
This kind of thing makes me want to HATE white people, but the more annoying thing is that African kings & chiefs were also involved in this barbaric act.

Sile12:


Our chiefs, kings, and brothers were also involved selling their people because of selfishness and greed.

Without internal enemy, its alway difficult for external enemy to succeed. We gave them the chance and its still around us today.

But like one of the Nl members said, they knew what was going on because the whipping started before they left the shores of Africa. When your/my ancestors came to the slave camps to collect their money, they witnessed the abuse and suffering but they didn't care, they were concered about getting their money and little trinkets, you know, mirrors, guns, gun powder, alcohol.
It was all business to them.
